Hello Bruce,
Coach Don Drakulich advised me to contact you to see if you can help me spread the word of the new FAHS Football Hall of Fame. We have reconnected with a number of former players and coaches who share our unique history and are very proud of the affiliation with the Frankfurt American High School Football program. We have made plans to come together annually, on Super Bowl weekend, recognize former players and coaches for their extraordinary achievements and excellence.

Don Drakulich along with several other coaches (Haight, Toth, George) and 35 former players were inducted at this year's inaugural FAHS Football HoF ceremony (February 4, 2012 in Hendon, VA). Click on the link below to see highlights of the ceremony.

I attended FAHS and played under Coach Toth (88-90). Frankfurt Football and its rich tradition has been a passion of mine since I left Germany in 1991. We are now planning our 2nd annual induction ceremony which will be held in Atlanta, GA on February 2, 2013. We are inducting 12 new members and giving a special tribute to Coach Drak and Coach Haight Below is a list of the two induction classes.

I am learning more and more of our history as we continue our journey and growth of our Hall of Fame. It has been a challenge trying to find alumni from the 60's and 70's. I was fortunate to find Coach Drak from a friend in facebook. He was able to connect me with Douglass Henderson who was inducted at our 2012 inaugural ceremony. We would really like to have a big turnout from the alumni that represent the 60's and 70's at our 2013 ceremony. Anything you can do help would be greatly appreciated. I am also looking for someone that can help me create the FAHS HoF website to increase our online presence.

We hope to start a rich tradition, where we will not only recognize and induct new members annually, but will also create an unforgettable experience that will unite our Frankfurt family for many years to come.

Please let me know if you can be of assistance in covering this story or if you can point me in the right direction. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
