Missing Person. Have you seen this guy?

Hi everyone.  I am posting this because I hope someone who reads this may be in the area and have seen this man.  He is a very talented and well loved poet, whose family and friends want him home desperately.  Please take a look and be on the look for him.  His vehicle is sporting Rhode Island plates, hopefully this is something that will stick out deep in the heart of Texas.

Thank you guys.  If you click on the pic above a larger version of the insert can be seen more clearly.
