Description: Castle Heights Military Academy closed in 1986 after more than 80 years of graduating youth who would become teachers, physicians, blue-collars workers, engineers, military officers, professors, attorneys, government officials, journalists, business executives, community leaders ... For 45 of those years, JB Leftwich taught and mentored cadets, helped shape and save the Academy, and was among the extraordinary administrators and faculty that made the school a truly great private educational institution. Thanks to his 50 -year career as a newspaper columnist, the personalities, humor, discipline, tragedies and uniqueness of Castle Heights are revealed ... along with why the love for and devotion to a school closed more than 25 years is stronger than ever. Enjoy the fascinating stories behind the rise and fall of a prominent Southern military academy as seen through the eyes of its literary laureate. Stan Huguenin '59, Editor -- Back cover.
