[Ipg-smz] Which of your friends/family have you (relatively unexpectedly) gotten to quote for an article?

[Grant Gross]

Back when I was working for a small daily newspaper, I wrote a column on my
parents becoming foster parents after the state closed an institution that
housed developmentally disabled children. It was in conjunction with news
that a judge had finally removed an injunction against the state forcing
the closure of the institution.
