In the fall of 1973, a photographer came to Mary, Queen of Heaven School to get a picture to run next to a contest-winning poem a young girl had written. Tammy Schwartz and another girl were randomly pulled out of class by the teacher to be in the picture. The photographer took the girls to a field of Black-eyed Susans just down the street from school. During the shoot, he handed Tammy a red balloon tied to a long black wire. She held the balloon while she bent down to smell a flower. The picture ran in the Kentucky Enquirer and eventually led her back to her mother.
