Five young Arkansans will be watching and
listening at close quarters when Republicans gather to nominate
their presidential candidate and adopt a party platform in New York
next week.
Jonathan Gilmore of Roland, David Hobson of Mount Ida, Stephen
Hobson of Barling, Christian Olson of Little Rock and Sarah Parks
of Greenbrier have been chosen to work on the convention floor.
They`ll be among 150 other teenagers performing similar duties at
Madison Square Garden during the Republican National Convention,
helping the delegates and guests.
The state`s only scheduled speaker so far at the GOP
convention is 20-year-old Princella Smith, who won an essay contest
sponsored by MTV.
