Whitted finishing up WSSU book

Winston Salem, North Carolina -- It has been said that timing is everything. Fred Whitted certainly hopes so.  Whitted has a new book scheduled to be completed Thursday — "The Rams House," about the history of Winston-Salem State athletics.

The book includes a section on WSSU's winning its ninth CIAA football title earlier this month and is scheduled to be finished two days before the undefeated Rams play in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Whitted, a 1975 graduate of WSSU who lives in Fayetteville, already has written several books on black college history. He was so intent on finishing this book, which he has been working on since April, that he didn't attend Saturday's playoff victory against California (Pa.) at Bowman Gray Stadium.
