"Does everyone write like a dream in this fairy-tale of a school, Altamont?" - author Pat Conroy
"However, my alma mater (UMS Wright) and all other secondary institutions in our state, the South, or for that matter in the entire country, rank far behind Altamont when it comes to notables who write for a living or at least derive a portion of their income from that craft." -Jake Reiss, Alabama Booksmith
