Project 365 Day 16

I'm cheating. Haven't been feeling too good today so I'm recycling a post I did last week but never finished.

For Greg Iles Fans

For those of you who are Greg Iles' fans, you have read about St. Stephen's Prep, the school Penn Cage attended and which his daughter, Annie, now attends. St. Stephen's is loosely based upon the school Greg actually attended, Trinity Episcopal Day School. He graduated from Trinity in 1979.

Greg holds a deep love for Trinity, and its alter-ego is featured in all of his novels based in Natchez. As he was a member of the football team, several scenes are set at the Trinity (St. Stephen's) football field.

The above picture is Trinity Episcopal Day School's football field. This was taken from the parking lot, so I hope it gives you a good impression of how low the field actually is. On home game Friday nights, the grassy fields are ringed with spectators. For such a small school (we just hit an enrollment of about 300), football is a huge draw.

For those of you who have never read any of Greg's books, I would encourage you to. Start with Quiet Game. Those of us who live in Natchez and work within the legal community had a ball trying to figure out "who was who".
