#TBT: Stealing Without Guilt

May 14, 2015

By Geoff Kimmerly
Second Half editor

Former Jackson Citizen Patriot sports editor Tommy Cameron penned a commentary during the late 1980s titled "Stealing Without Guilt" on attendance at high school sporting events. It was his plea to parents missing out on the special moments experienced by their children that he had the opportunity to cover daily. 

His column made an appearance in an MHSAA Finals program and then as the inspiration for this piece broadcast during MHSAA Finals, brought to you as this week's Throwback Thursday selection.
