Foxfire is a student produced publication that began in 1966 with a Georgia high school English class. The students wanted to document the culture of their elders in Southern Appalachia as "a proud, self-sufficient people with simple beliefs, pure joy in living, and rock-solid faith". The magazine is still going strong, driven by high school students and is compiled in a number of anthologies (available at the downtown Reno library).

Story sharing remains one of the binding threads between generations.
