Thanks to our friend Mick LaLopa from the Purdue University school of Hospitality and Tourism Management–the first program in the country to adopt the Fred Harvey story as part of its curriculum and my Harvey biography Appetite for America as a text–we now have a college study guide on Fred Harvey. It is available to all educators teaching hospitality and tourism management, culinary history or history of the American West. If you email me at sf@stephenfried.com I’ll be happy to get it to you. And then you can start to Spread the Fred just like Mick and the good folks at Purdue (where I was fortunate to become the first non-executive ever invited to give the annual Darden Lecture.) .
