Sam Sheppard yearbook from Cleveland Heights High school signed from 1941
This book has numerous signatures on the inside from different friends and teachers and school staff. Whats really special is that it has Sam Sheppard signature and possibly his earliest with also his futur wife Marilyn Reese who he will be later accused of her murder.
Both can be seen in numerous pictures trough the yearbook.
We believe this piece to be the earliest one that has both there signatures. He would of been 17 at the time this was signed and would marry Marylin 3 years later.
