Wally, Your posting is ancient by now; but, I answer anyway. My father, Don West, was the original conceiver of Highlander Folkschool, and my mother, Constance West, named the school. My father had just returned from studying Elsinore, Denmark, where he had studied Danish Folk Schools, and he set out in his native Southern Mountains with the intention of founding a folk school on the Danish model. Myles Horton heard of my father, for he seems to have had a parallel intent. He asked my father if he could join in my father's effort, for my father had found a venue and a donor in Monteagle, Tennessee (Highlander's original location). Together my father and Myles worked a while. Those were turbulent times, and my father was pulled away to work on the Angelo Herndon case in Atlanta. In later days Myles air-brushed my father's name from Highlander as well as he could, because my father was too "red" for Myles' taste or pragmatism at the time. That's the skinny. But, I'm NOT at Mudcat to write this, I'm trying to figure out how to expose a specific hoax. So I'll get on with it. All the best. Hedy West
