Book on Black-Foxe

 

After much prompting, I have set out to write a book on Black-Foxe. My working title is Hollywood Cadets, A Collective Memoir. I doubt that I can come up with anything better.  I envision a 'coffee table' book filled with pictures spanning the forty years  of the school's existence. The key to the project is that it will be a 'Collective Memoir.' Although I will begin with a history of Black-Foxe and, I suppose, a Who's Who of those in attendance as well as the accomplishments of our more famous (infamous) former students, it is the 'Collective Memoir' aspect that will make the book of interest to former students, their progeny, and perhaps some members of the public at large. For this I need as many stories as can get from former students and others associated with BF. I have so-far received a number of stories, but I need many more. Stories about pranks, other cadets, how the school was a positive influence-or a negative influence for that matter. I have no qualms about including stories from those whose experience was less than positive, although I can't believe I will receive many of those. I can't guarantee I'll use all those submitted, but I will try to get them in and will certainly acknowledge anyone who sends a story. I hope to have at least some of the text competed by the September reunion at Pala Mesa where I will be happy to share it with everyone.
