when we were kids my best friend said she wanted to be famous when she grew up, she wanted to have her name in the papers.   in third grade she moved to new york city, where they have billboards of famous people on every corner. in third grade too much was happening to me at once and I never had the time to miss her. I just found out she died of an asthma attack six months ago. I heard she was the first child to die from her hometown in more than fifty years. I guess she got her picture in the paper, even if she never grew up.
