Frederick Earl "Fred" Exley (March 28, 1929 – June 17, 1992)〔Bruce Lambert, ("Frederick E. Exley, 63, Author Who Told of His Own Troubles," ) ''New York Times'', June 18, 1992.〕 was an American writer best known as the author of the fictional memoir ''A Fan's Notes''. ==Early life and education== Exley was born (Frederic) March 28, 1929, in Watertown, New York.〔David L. Ulin, ("The Exley Files: The Sad, Ironic Life Of An Unlikely Literary Hero," ) ''Chicago Tribune'', October 19, 1997.〕 He was the third of four children, including a twin sister, Frances, born to Earl and Charlotte. His father, who died in 1945 when Exley was 16, was a celebrated former athlete and local basketball coach whose legacy would be a dominating influence on Exley's early life.〔Jonathan Yardley, ''Misfit: The Strange Life of Frederick Exley'', New York: Random House, 1997, pp. 11–23.〕 A car accident the following year injured Exley and prevented him from graduating high school on schedule. Exley had a brief stint at Katonah High School in Katonah, New York, where he was named to the conference all-star basketball team.〔Likely based on information from Exley himself, Yardley's biography states that Exley spent a year at John Jay High School in Katonah, New York, although he was probably referring to Katonah High School, since John Jay wasn't opened until 1956. Yardley, ''Misfit: The Strange Life of Frederick Exley'', pp. 52–56.〕 Exley entered Hobart College in the pre-dental program in 1949.〔William M. Gargan, ("Exley, Frederick Earl," ) ''The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives,'' 2001.〕 The next year he transferred to the University of Southern California, where he began to follow the career of fellow student and future football legend Frank Gifford.〔 Exley avoided being drafted in 1951 when he failed his Selective Service examination on account of injuries sustained in the car accident. In 1952, Exley dropped out of USC and moved to New York City to find employment, only to return a year later to complete a BA in English.〔("Ask the Globe," ) ''Boston Globe'', November 19, 1999.〕
