• Nice little article from the Darien Times about Clay's recent visit to a Middlesex, CT school. The article said that no one except the principal knew about Clay's visit. When Clay showed up, under a veil of secrecy, a student said "it sounded like a rock concert. There were hundreds of high pitched screams." The principal noted that "students who had guessed Aiken was a possibility had made signs. They had signs that said 'Aching for Aiken'."
