This book is dedicated to those adults who love young people and
demonstrate that affection every day. Without these men and women, the
love already deep within all kids would shrivel, for it would have no
pattern to go by.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Foxfire continues to be a fresh, exciting experience for all of us because of
the basic generosity and good will that run strong and deep within most
people.
The parents in the county and the administration of our school continue
to trust us with kids. Recently, for example, I took two students (neither
of whom had ever flown before) on a week-long trip that leapfrogged us all
over the country—they were students whose parents had never met me but
who willingly gave their permission.
Residents of the area still greet us enthusiastically when we come to in-
trude into their lives with cameras and tape recorders. As we were winding
up an interview not long ago, the lady whose husband we had been ques-
tioning disappeared into the kitchen and reappeared with four pies she had
baked especially for our visit; and she insisted that what the kids couldn't
eat there, they had to take home with them.
Members of our Board of Directors and Advisory Boards continue to find
ways to give us a hand and urge us on—people like John Viener, for ex-
ample, who put in scores of hours dealing with unpleasant chores like
straightening out all our insurance needs and getting those attended to,
trademarking our name, and attending meeting after meeting in our be-
half.
Old friends from the beginning (and there are lots of them), like Junius
Eddy, lie low for a while and suddenly reappear bearing some new gift or
piece of news, and you realize with a rush that they've been out there
quietly working behind the scenes to make some fine new thing happen for
you or the project.
New friends appear—like A. K. Johnson of the Georgia Bicentennial
Commission, who urged his commission to sponsor two of the log buildings
in our reconstruction—or Peter Haratonik of the Center for Understanding
Media who sent Chuck Anderson down to Rabun Gap for a week to help
us get our video project off the ground.
And always there are the kids—new ones every year with new ideas, fresh
enthusiasm, and different demands and needs—keeping us, in turn, fresh,
flexible, and enthusiastic.
With resources like that behind Foxfire, it's hard to be anything but
strong.
