About this title

Synopsis

A glance back at the excitement, joy, pain, passion and pride during an unforgettable period in Wilson s history... Wilson (North Carolina) Fike s unprecedented march to three consecutive 4-A football championships in 1967-1969. Here is the story, the glory, the names and the numbers, plus an overview of Wilson High School football from 1923.

About the Author

Russell Rawlings grew up less than a mile from Fike High School. When he wasn't actually watching Coach Trevathan's Cyclones play on Friday nights, he was listening anxiously to every down on his trusty transistor.

In 1969 Rawlings started writing sports part time for the local newspaper, The Wilson Daily Times. In 1974, three months prior to his graduation from Fike High School, he started a 10 year stint with the paper as reporter and assistant sports editor. He returned in 1987 to serve for three years as managing editor.

He is a 1978 graduate of Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) in Wilson, and worked there for 13 years in development and public relations. He left Barton on the last day of 1999 to write this book.

Rawlings is the son of the late Gloria Thompson Rawlings and Lenox Daniel Rawlings, Jr. He is married to the former Kimberly Jan Jenkins, who first caught his eye as a freshman forward on Elm City High School's state championship basketball team of 1976-77.

The author is a lifelong resident of Wilson, N.C.

Store Description

What is Round About Books? Round About Books will be a literacy-rich worksite for opportunity youth ages 16 - 24, primarily placed and paid through our partnerships with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Program and the Division of Employment and Independence for People with Disabilities Program. A bookstore manager will supervise the interns and provide training in soft skills and job skills as they guide them through the functions of running a business. Why a bookstore? Literacy Connections is a nonprofit that teaches people to embrace learning through one-on-one tutoring. Our goal with Round About Books is to create an environment for learning that feels nurturing and safe for people to develop confidence through the mentorship program while they further their education. We believe reading can ignite a love of learning, which opens new worlds and expands opportunities for happy and successful lives. All profits from the bookstore go directly back into the literacy nonprofit programs. What does an intern gain from this? Interns who successfully complete the program will leave with marketable job skills, a letter of recommendation, and the confidence to take charge of their lives. How can I help? This youth-run bookstore has been a dream of Literacy Connections for some time, and we are excited to see it become a reality. Round About Books is under construction and will add another dimension to Downtown Goldsboro?s cultural scene, a child-friendly spot for parents, and welcoming to all downtown visitors. If you are interested in being part of our story as a seed investor to raise capital for our new venture, please contact a Literacy Connections Board Member or staff at 919.735.1990 for more information.
