Fiorello, 45, a 1981 graduate of Methuen High School, works out of his home in Oakland, Calif., running Carl's Electronics. He bought the company from its Massachusetts owner three years ago and moved it to California.
Since then, he's learned a lot about robots from the kits he deals. He told the Times that his business has experienced a 51 percent increase in sales of the kits this year.

So I was bouncing around the Web this week following some leads to a story I caught on the Eagle Tribune Online about Andrea Traficanti and the Lawrence DPW when I stumbled upon an entry for Methuen High School in Wikipedia. You're probably thinking that I did it, but seriously, it wasn't me.
Here's the link:

It seems to be in some kind of protected mode so right now it cannot be edited. At least I couldn't.
