Henry Seibert Forte was born in Nashville in 1922, attended Father Ryan, and then graduated from the Vanderbilt School of Engineering. In 1976, he changed careers, and for the next 30 years, Imogene and Henry Forte owned and operated an educational publishing company, publishing books by educator-authors dedicated to research, practical classroom know-how, and building lifelong learners. Created by their estate plans and by their daughter, Cherrie Forte Farnette, in honor of their memory, the Forte Fund will benefit organizations helping to make this community a better place, like Vanderbilt’s Peabody College’s creation of the Imogene Forte Youth Collection Reading Room.
Established in 2006
