Mark McGrath

So I got this e-mail tonight ...


Hi,


I work in the photo department at YM Magazine, and I'm writing to alumni from Corona Del Mar High to see if someone might be able to help me out with a project I'm working on.


We're looking for photos (color snapshots, etc.) of Mark McGrath (singer from the band Sugar Ray) from when he was in high school. I think he graduated in 1986. The photos are for a story we're doing about what he was like in high school. We've already got an interview done, but we want to run photos from his friends in high school.


I already have the photos which ran in the yearbook. What I need is more candid stuff from his friends and classmates - hanging out, playing music, being a teenager, etc... Do any of you have photos of him during high school (1982 - 1986), or know someone who does? Feel free to forward this e-mail. I'd appreciate it.


All photos would be returned within 4-6 weeks. YM would pay the FedEx shipping fee, and we'd be willing to offer a fee if we run the photo.


Thank you very much for your help.

... now is it right to write everyone listed on Classmates that went to school with Mark McGrath and ask for personal pictures of him ... I mean if they really interviewed him about who he was in high school wouldn't he be able to give them pictures ... I mean I was a photographer in high school ... and I have photos in my collection of many people that have attained some sort of fame ... and I wouldn't ever turn them over to some magazine ... I just think it is totally wrong to ask people to do that ...


and i am relooking at the email and it says "I think he graduated in 1986." but then goes on to say "We've already got an interview done" ... if she interviewed him on what he was like in high school ... how can she not know what year he graduated ... it really is just wrong ...
