Well, sort of. My junior skepchicks returned home, and were written up in their high school paper. I've posted a scan of the article here on my blog. They were a bit fuzzy on some of the facts (hey, Dad wrote the check to TAM, not them), so Randi's name is spelled incorrectly, and they reported that the conference was sponsored by the Skeptic Society. The history of the organization is all wrong! But, the points are made and skepticism is highlighted. Shermer, Bad Astronomer Plait, and skepchick.org are mentioned, as well. Yea team!
The pic in the article is one of us at the Penn & Teller show, and includes me and Kitten2. I'm the 'Prim's father's friend' who turned them onto Skeptic mag and talked them into TAM. You need to double-click on the article to get it large enough to read. If someone wants the PDF file, PM me with your email address, or you can copy the jpg version on the blog.
These girls are the ones who were told by some classmates that they were 'going to hell' when they announced they did not believe in God. What tickles me (in an unrelated bit of personal trivia): I went to the 'other high school' in town, Permian (which is the 'Friday Night Lights' school), and I was editor of Permian's newspaper my junior and senior years. Thirty years later, I have my pic in THEIR paper. Mojo! Part of the good part of being a newspaper and yearbook editor in high school is that you can ensure you and your other attention-whore friends get your pics in a lot.
