Lott's and Raffo's parents asked the school board to let their kids attend the dance together. "His intention isn't to drink or bring drugs to the prom," says Nancy Raffo of her son, who is scheduled to be deployed to Iraq in September. The board wouldn't budge, though Chris offered to take a Breathalyzer test at the dance. The couple had a memorable prom night anyway. "It was nice...
