Many people dream about far off lands they someday hope to visit, but for 15 1/2- year- old Shandra McCollough that dream became a reality this month. Shandra just returned from a two-week trip to Tokyo, Japan where she traveled as an Ambassador for the People to People program. The program was developed by President Dwight Eisenhower and is currently under the direction of his granddaughter.
