Yearbook Mistakes

Remember how exciting it was to be a senior in high school? Generally speaking, lots of great memories come from that year. But the only tangible memory you really have from that year is your yearbook. One look takes you back to that time instantly.

So what would you do if you were forever recorded wrong? Read the story below and then tell me what you would do?

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (AP) -- There's no Max Supernova, Kathy Airbag or Alexandria Impolite in the senior class of Pennsylvania's Middletown Area High. But they're listed in the yearbook.

It seems a computer spell-checker went too far in trying fix the names of the seniors. Alessandra Ippolito became Alexandria Impolite. She say the goof is "kind of funny, but kind of rude at the same time." Dallas-based Taylor Publishing is taking responsibility for the errors.

Holly, "Dallas-based Taylor Publishing is taking responsibility for the errors."
That is all well and good, BUT what type of responsibility?
Oh we are sorry!
We will get it right next year, maybe!
Your NEW and CORRECTED books are in the mail.
Can they really blame it on "spell-checker" or some illiterate non-American speaking / reading / writing type of day labor?

Bottom line...... I bet it NEVER gets fixed.

It would suck, but no big tragedy. I graduated from HS 25 years ago. I still stay in contact with some of those friends in school. They know who I am, I know who they are. The only people who wouldn't know who you were back then are probably people you never hung around. So I say again no big tragedy.

They paid $50 to $65 for the yearbooks. The publisher has offered stickers to "correct" the four pages with errors.

Emmy award winning anchor/reporter Holly Morris started with WTTG in December of 1998. Her specialty is "live" TV, which you can see her doing on FOX 5 Morning News. Each weekday morning, Holly reports and often interacts live from somewhere in the community either covering a breaking news story, previewing an event, or learning more about all that is available in and around the greater Washington area. Holly can also be seen anchoring FOX 5 News at Noon. Holly's work has earned her 4 regional Emmys, three of which were for "Best Live Reporting". She also has a regional Edward R. Murrow award. Prior to her career at WTTG-TV, Holly was an anchor/reporter at WKYT-TV in Lexington, Kentucky. There she won three regional Emmy's including one for best anchor and one for best feature reporter. If Holly ever gets tired of the early morning wake-up calls for FOX 5 Morning News, she can always fall back on the profession of engineering. In 1993, she graduated from Duke University with a degree in civil and environmental engineering. Holly is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio.
