According to a story in today's Providence Journal, Central Falls Superintedent Frances Gallo received a "hero's welcome" at the Rhode Island Shoreline Coalition (RISC) meeting yesterday in Newport. Also on the agenda, said the ProJo, was Angus Davis, a member of the Rhode Island Board of Regents.

According to the report, Ms. Gallo was surprised by her standing ovation.

So were two-thirds of the Three Little Pigs when they appeared at the annual Brotherhood of Wolves conference.
