Among our computer-related glitches in this morning's paper was a mix up in the back-to-school photos on the Show&Tell page, B3. A duplicate of one of the photos appeared in the space where Larchmont Elementary kindergartener Sean Michael Chamberlin's photo should have been.
I got a sad email from Sean Michael's mom, June Chamberlin, this morning:
I opened up the paper this morning, I saw where Sean Michael was supposed to be.
He wasn't there. He was so sad.
I understand there are boo-boo's every once in a while, but darn-it.
Here's my reply:
Hi June,
On behalf of the paper, I'm really sorry.
The photo mix up was caused by a computer glitch. (I know this won't make sense to a disappointed kindergartener.)
The good news is that we will run Sean Michael's photo on next week's Show&Tell page. Also, if you send your address, we'll print out a good copy of the page that he can have for his scrapbook.

In the meantime, here's the photo that should have run.
