Earlier

Prior to 1996 I was twice featured in local newspapers, complete with embarrassing photos. While in college, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch pictured me seated at a Missouri bar and complaining because local grocery stores and other bars in the area refused to accept my valid Maryland driver's license as ID. Several years earlier I was pictured in the Montgomery Journal wearing a bright green Girl Scout uniform and holding a check that then President Reagan had sent to our troop after I wrote him a letter.
