Robie, My sister also went to Draughon's in the early 40's. It was in Nashville. I think that it is still in business. I can't say for sure. I just checked Switchboard.com and find: Draughons Junior College Plus Park at Pavilli Nashville, TN. 37217 Phone#: 615-361-7555 I am not sure if this is the same school. Worth a try though.

There was a chain of Draughon's Business Colleges headquartered at Johnson City, Washington County, TN. They were located in several locations across the state. After the Vietnam Veterans school incentive money ended. So did the school. I do not remember the particulars however, funding was so difficult for private institutions. I am sure there were other schools in the same boat. Leota ----- Original Message ----- From: "Athol K.
