Douglas Kuykendall Sat, 20 Oct 2012 23:22:21 +0000 http://www.lib.unc.edu/blogs/ncm/?p=15258#comment-926406 What memories,looking at the pictures of some of the plays we did so long ago. I was in “The Pot Boiler” the one with his arm stretched out. I was so happy I got to say damn in the play. We also did “The Christmas Carol” and “Sun Up” that year. The Billy Graham daughters were also there when I was but a lot younger. Mammie Reynolds also went there but would only go half a year and then take a trip around the world. Her dad Bob said that was better than school. Mammie was worth about 18 Million at that time. My uncle (Dan W.Foster) was going there for speech clases at night after he became president of the west Asheville lions club.I was so far behind in public schools he started me in the tenth grade. Nancy Plonk tutored me every day until I caught up. Graduated in 1959. There was twelve in our class.I enjoyed being there and liked Miss Laura and Miss Lillian very much. They did a lot of good for a lot of people especially the ones with speech defects. Thanks again for the memories .

I am pictured in one of the photos above. Upon leaving my mother was told that I should attend
Miss so and so’s school for delicate young ladies. I was promptly sent to Claxton, a public school.
