At a Masterman assembly, Steven Vaughn-Lewis, 18, hugs his grandmother Loretta Ford, who has raised him since he was 8.
Yesterday's Inquirer featured a moving story about Steven Vaughn-Lewis, a Masterman graduate who plans to head to the University of Pennsylvania in the fall.

Vaughn-Lewis was one of the top award winners in last summer's "My Philadelphia" contest, which was sponsored by Great Expectations and The Rotary. Check out the "My Philadelphia" page on www.GreatExpectations07.com to see his entry. (It's the fourth one down the page.)

Congratulations and good luck, Steven.
