FRESNO, Calif. — Three students at Clovis West High School thought it was the perfect prank — a fake Facebook page for Principal Ben Drati.

The teens didn't make a serious effort to hide the comical intent of the page, which first surfaced in October. One entry, for example, told students that if they disliked the mega-hit vampire flick "Twilight," they should "get the hell out of Clovis West."
Drati, however, was not amused. In a district document provided to the families, he contended the Facebook page stole his identity and threatened his authority at the school, which is in Fresno.


From wikipedia:
Furry Lewis (March 6, 1893 - September 14, 1981) was a country blues guitarist and songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis was one of the first of the old-time blues musicians of the 1920s to be brought out of retirement, and given a new lease of recording life, by the folk blues revival of the 1960s.

Walter E. Lewis was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, but his family moved to Memphis when he was aged seven. Lewis acquired the nickname "Furry" from childhood playmates.
