Crowdsourcing the WATNS -- Sharon Claybourne

  Sharon Claybourne was possibly the subject of one of the biggest media non-stories of the past 50 years. She was arrested for disturbing the peace after appearing on St. Catherine with a tiny miniskirt in 1966. Supposedly she might've been harassing some male passersby, perhaps not.
   The image on the left is a sorta approximation of what she might've looked like on that October day, the one on the right is of her appearing at court to face the charge. It turned out she was only 16 and from Halifax or had fled her aunt's place in Sudbury.
   The late Eddie Collister and Terry Haig (both very good guys btw) seemed to get a kick out of reporting on the men rubbernecking the young go-go dancer. So where is she now after her brief moment in the media limelight? My only theory is that she might be have called herself Sheryl Claybourne and might be the same person as was kicked out a Lachine apartment in 2010 for non-payment.  Anybody else with a tip?
