A handful of people have called in to lobby for The Spokesman-Review to remove their names from the diploma fakes list. One man called to say everybody in his town thinks he's a fraud - He argues that his name should be off the list because he bought a diploma not for himself, but as a birthday present for his wife. No name removals, city editor Addy Hatch and editor Steve Smith said - The list comes from the government and S-R just happens to be one of many parties with a copy.
