I'm posting this for Tom Dierolf. Even if you don't have any film or photos from this era, I would encourage you to check out his website and listen to the interviews.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We are looking for film/photos for a short film documentary on the 1963 Brevard High School (BHS) football team, the first racially-integrated public high school football team in NC, who went on to win the Western State Championship. If you have film/photos regarding any of the three focus areas listed below and are interested in supporting this project please contact Tom Dierolf (
tsdierolf@yahoo.com). To learn more about the film please see
www.almostcured.com.
1. {FILM or PHOTOS] The 1963 Brevard High School football team (maybe someone from another team has film of their game against Brevard that year?).
2. [FILM or PHOTOS] Any NC high school football film shot in that era (1960-64). This includes fan shots, practices, football gear, bands, cheerleaders, refs, etc. (the closer connection to Brevard, the better, be it an opponent that year or geographically (Western North Carolina or the foothills)
3. [FILM only] Small town life (people, cars, roads, buildings, shops, etc.) in Western North Carolina/foothills. (again, the closer to Brevard, the better).
