Daniel Fry High School Education

Hi, I understand you are knowledgeable about Daniel Fry. Thanks for the citation. Question for you: What was the (exact) name of the high school and its exact locality where Fry went to high school? There are several places called Antelope (including one near Sacramento) and several other places called Antelope Valley (including one in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, for starters). Without these specifics I am unsure about your now newly sourced claim. We local old timers have never heard of him (and trust me on this. . . I'm right next door to one who knew how the area used to be in the 1920s.) One other thing confuses me as well: according to danielfry.com, Fry attended school in Hill City (MN) where his mother died. Sooooo. . . in what city and state did Daniel Fry attend high school? I would really like to get to the bottom of this. Thanks for your kind cooperation in advance. --avnative 11:12, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Here is my answer:

I'm not sure how to answer my own "Talk" but here's the answer to your questions:

> > What was the (exact) name of the high school and its > exact locality where Fry went to high school? > <and> > Fry attended school in Hill City (MN) where his mother died. > Sooooo. . . in what city and state did Daniel Fry attend > high school?

On page 4 of the source, Daniel writes that the poem he wrote "Cloudburst on the Big Rock" was done at "Antelope Valley High School, Antelope Valley, California". That he was actually there is consistent because a few years after his mother's death (and his father's and his grandfather's) he, his Grandmother and sister moved to South Pasadena where he completed his elementary years in the now defunct "El Centro" elementary school. Antelope Valley is just north of Pasadena, correct? And the Antelope Valley High School history section states that many students came from quite a ways to live and study there during the 1920s.

> Without these specifics I am unsure about your now

> newly sourced claim.

I find it strange that Daniel's entry causes any contention at all, when there isn't any citations for the other "Notables", most of which I've never heard of. Are the citations hidden somewhere?

> We local old timers have never heard of him (and trust

> me on this. . . I'm right next door to one who knew how > the area used to be in the 1920s.)

The answer to that is simple, Daniel didn't grow up in the area and I don't remember the names of everbody at my high school either.

If you are satisifed, please add Daniel back.

Thanks for your thoughtful and civil reply here. Yes, Daniel Fry will be added back. Please check your email you sent me for the details. Thanks for your help, and I hope you will continue to add good information to Wikipedia. I learn new things every day! Even from folks like you. . .

One thing you may not know about Dan Frye

Since you run a kind of single purpose account, you might want to learn an information about Dan Frye, which you might not have heard of before: [1] Logos (talk) 15:32, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

<sigh> First of all, I am deeply interested in Fry and I am always looking for new information about him, but after fifteen years, anything new is exceedingly rare. I did after all, write his biography.[2] Logos, I read the short paragraph you linked to and, well, to be blunt, find it uninformative and useless as is typical with anything "channelled". Why do people consider undefined concepts like "Confederation thought-form vehicular illusion" and "the intelligent infinity behind the illusion of limits." informative? All I get out of that paragraph, to use an analogy, is that someone said apples are red. It isn't even unique, as other fringe sources have said similar things [3] Sean Donovan (talk) 17:54, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The little piece about dan fry is not sufficient to form an opinion about that channeled source. Besides, citing the law of one books in your self-published book could skyrocket the sales. Logos (talk) 22:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
