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

[Lee Schlesinger]

I wrote a travel article on Curacao, and I quoted my college friend who
lived there, who I'd gone to visit.

I just looked up the piece - published March 13, 1988, Boston Sunday Globe.
Only an image of the page is available online, because that was pre-WWW.
