Jerry Frasier

Graduated from Louisiana Tech in 1960 with a B.S. degree in physical education and English. Took a coaching and teaching position at North Fulton high school in Atlanta, Ga. in 1960 and continued at North Fulton until retirement, nearly 34 years. Taught English for l3 years, then into administration for the rest of my tenure. I returned to Louisiana Tech in the summers of 1966 and 1967 and completed my Masters in English. I have fond memories of coffee nearly every morning with a mutual group including Coach Pat Nation who was there working on an advanced degree. I later completed an EDS degree in administration and supervision at Georgia State University and the University of Georgia.
During my time at North Fulton, I coached football, basketball, track, cross country and soccer. I was fortunate to have been a part of eleven state championship teams, eighteen region championships, coach of the year honors twenty times, twice, Southeastern United States coach of the year, nominated for national coach of the year twice. Because of loss of students in the early 90's, North Fulton closed and I took early retirement. I was a part of the original group of 5 in 1963 that founded the Atlanta Track Club an international known for the summer road races.
In 1964, I married Sheila Roberts and Atlanta native. Joni was born in 1966 and Britt was born in 1968. Both live in the Atlanta area. My two grandchildren, Hannah born in 1997 and Evan born in 2001 are a joy to my life. Today, I spent my time as an unpaid baby sitter, enjoying music( I love those young vocalists, Josh Groban and Michael Buble' doing standards), and working in the yard, a hobby I begin to appreciate in high school as I admired Jeralyn Shipp's father growing camellias, all I expect to continue for many more years...

The boys always wore blue suede shoes on Thursdays. Had Mr. Grambling taken the picture on Friday they would have been wearing Q boots or fruit boots. How do you like the plantation ties the boys are wearing? The pants may have been purchased at West Brothers or Holidays Dept. Store. This picture was taken at the track field on McIntyre Street.
