Shanelle Burns, of Argos, was determined to be at the taping of Oprah's last show on May 24. She entered for free tickets on oprah.com a month before the event, and anxiously waited to see if she would get in. Unfortunately, when the website emailed her the Saturday before the event saying that she had two tickets, Burns didn't see the email until Monday—past the deadline to respond and claim the tickets. Not about to give up, Burns quickly responded, explaining why she wanted to go to the show—and why she wanted her friend and previous co-worker, Mary Kunkle, of Plymouth, to go with her.
