During my two years, I played the game and did well. Upon graduation I was accepted by The Virginia Military Institute, The Citadel, and The University of North Carolina. I was also nominated by Congressman Earl Ruth of the North Carolina 8th District to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. My father persuaded me to attend UNC as he had done. (He later told me that was his worse mistake in my development.) I went to Chapel Hill.

Col. Jim Donnelly is leaving FMS
As many of you may have heard, Colonel Jim Donnelly, USAF (Ret) has accepted a leadership position with another firm here in Waynesboro. While we are extremely saddened at the thought of Jim no longer being with us here at Fishburne, we are proud of him and thankful for all the years of dedicated service to the School. Colonel Donnelly gave fourteen years of outstanding service to FMS while working as a teacher, coach and as Fishburne’s Business Manager. He worked tirelessly to make sure our School’s day-to-day operations functioned properly. Colonel Donnelly has been a tremendous asset to the School, and we will miss him very much. We wish Jim the best of luck and much success in his new endeavor.
