'underground' paper at Hicksville High School, and as such was not
eligible to attend Shep's conference--only "legit" papers need

be a friend of Shep's! Never found out how, or how
well she knew him, but we were sent six tickets. Nobody else there had
more than three. I was able to bring four reporters and a
photographer, Al
Parker." |
