    Yesterday I was able to read page 6 of the story with one tiny problem -- I had to go through every page in order, I couldn't skip or jump directly to page 6.

    It was a great example of how the first person can be used beautifully. The reporter didn't really have a choice - he truly was part of the story, and that's okay.

    So happy for that kid.

    Matt Tully has been reporting about the school all year. It is one of the worst in the city school system.

    He has shined a light on that school. The entire project has been excellent reporting.

    Try hitting "next page" rather than the page numbers, and you should be able to read the whole thing.

    Update: he exists.

    A 20/20 crew was there, along with the Indianapolis Star, to see Brent Jones' reunion with his mother. The Star has photos and video on its site about the reunion.
