My local paper ran the below, in part, article. With the recent passing of one of our own from the Lynyrd Skynyrd band, I thought the guys in our class could do a Memoir of the real life Lee coach. "Memories of the the Real Leonard Skinner" - just a thought guys - get writing and sharing.
"After the group of 80-somethings began having bi-monthly Zoom meetings to reminisce about old times and update each other on life accomplishments since their time at Central, they came up with an idea: write a book describing how major social and political events of the 20th century intersected with their own lives, and how it shaped who they are today.
The end result was the book “From Rock Around the Clock to TikTok: Eighty Years of Life, Learning and Hope” by Memphis Central High Classmates of 1959.
Published by New Jersey-based publishing company BookBaby, the book contains 14 individual stories from the Central grads, and how their remarkable experiences intersected with some of the most politically and culturally significant events of their generation."
