My cousins all attended Fairfax Hall, and I recall being impressed by the Fishburne cadets I would see occasionally downtown at the Wayne Theatre, the Fishburne Drug Store, or marching on the drill field. I don’t know what exactly sparked me as a ten-year old to attend FMS, but it happened to me none the less. I had never talked to a cadet or recall even seeing one outside of Waynesboro, but for the next three years, I was relentless in my pursuit to convince my parents to let me become a cadet.
