The FERD Files

by Fred Eargle

These stories cover the almost 50 years I was associated with N C State University, both as a student and later as faculty. A few relate to my early years growing up in Tryon, NC. There is an element of truth/fact in each. I have added a number written since leaving the University and moving to Windsor Point, a retirement village in Fuquay-Varina, NC. Many of these stories were inspired by my new friends there. Several are based on some innocent event or act which would provoke little or no interest if re-told precisely as they happened. To these I have "enhanced" the truth, somewhat, to make them more interesting. I hope you will forgive my boldness. A few are pure fabrication based on a story I had heard, or some idea on which I wanted to elaborate. You may be unable to distinguish the fabricated ones from the others.
