*Hughes said his inspiration for Shermer came from "that heterogenous kind of society, very extreme - I mean, at one point I went from a school with 1100 students to one with thirty. I remember this one kid, an eighth-grader, who had his teeth rotted out... But then at the same time, you'd have the richest kid in town in your school as well, so even in this tiny set-up, you had both ends of the economic spectrum, real extremes."Straight out of Sherman - William Ham - 1999 - Lollipop - Retrieved 29 December 2020
