Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of the Hayes School of Music Arthur Emerson Unsworth, Jr., (November 30, 1935-) was born to Bessie Mae Barker and Arthur Emerson Unsworth, Sr., in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He is the oldest in a family of four children; his siblings--Gari Beth Unsworth Cline, Geri Grace Unsworth Paterno, and Norman Joseph Unsworth--were also born in New Jersey. Although Unsworth's father was part owner of an automobile dealership, his interest was in jazz; he performed regularly as a pianist in the New Jersey New York, and Philadelphia areas. At age fourteen, Unsworth began playing trumpet on club dates with his father's quartet, and he has continued to perform in commercial music venues since that time. In addition, Unsworth has performed on trumpet with the Sun Valley Symphony, the Phoenix Symphony, and the Brigham Young University Faculty Brass Quintet. As a pianist, he was featured in many recitals while at Appalachian State University. Following graduation from Vineland High School in 1954, Unsworth attended Trenton State College (The College of New Jersey, Ewing), receiving a B.S. degree in music education and a M.A. degree in music composition. He then earned an Ed.D. degree, with a major in music theory, from Arizona State University in Tempe. While involved in doctoral study, Unsworth married his favorite accompanist, Shirley Blanche Decker. Dr. Unsworth began his collegiate teaching career in 1971 at Delta State University, Cleveland, Mississippi, where he taught music theory and history courses. After three years at Delta State, the Unsworths moved to Provo, Utah, for a five-year stint at Brigham Young University, where Dr. Unsworth was coordinator of lower division music theory. During this period, he designed and produced a series of sixty-five video tapes, with accompanying drill materials, for teaching music theory concepts. A move to administration was next, as Dr. Unsworth went to the Crane School of Music at Potsdam College in the State University of New York System, where he spent eleven years as associate dean of music. The final change of locale was the move to Boone, North Carolina, where he assumed the position of dean of the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State in 1989. After eleven years as dean of music, Dr. Unsworth requested a promotion to the music faculty, where he served as director of the music industry studies and taught music theory courses for four years prior to his retirement. His teaching efforts have been rewarded with excellence awards from the Student Government Association (2001) and the School of Music (2002). During his tenure at Appalachian State, Unsworth also co-authored (2003) the music appreciation text Crossroads in Music, which is published by Wadsworth /Thomson. While mothering six children, Shirley, Unsworth's wife of over four decades, has managed to acquire two masters' degrees (music and English), thus setting a wonderful example of meeting the academic challenge. She recently retired from the faculty of Caldwell Community College. The Unsworths' children are, in chronological order: Erik, who has degrees in music composition (Appalachian State), jazz bass (University of Indiana, Bloomington), and studio recording (Institute of Audio Engineering), and who teaches jazz and commercial music at the University of Texas, El Paso; Adam, who has degrees in music performance (Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, and the University of Wisconsin), and has assumed a position teaching French horn at the University of Michigan; Andrew, who has degrees in organ performance (Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah) and musicology (Duke University, Durham, North Carolina), is an organist with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Salt Lake City; Austin, who has a degree in industrial design (Brigham Young University), works as a designer for a dental equipment firm in Charlotte, North Carolina; Allison, who has degrees in violin performance (Brigham Young University), is currently loving her position as a full-time, stay-at-home mom; and Alan, who is currently on the library staff at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. The Unsworths feel that a healthy, active, and close family is certainly life's most wonderful blessing. Finally, for five years, Dr. Unsworth held the position of president of the local branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he has taught religion classes for college-age students.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emerita of Business Education and Office Administration Kathryn Croft Tully (January 16, 1918-) was born in Ansted, West Virginia. Her mother was Lula Milam, an elementary teacher and church organist who married Samuel Howard Croft from Augusta County, Virginia, in 1905. Her father was head bookkeeper for the Gauley Mountain Coal Company until he started his own partnership, managing an office and coal company stores. Tully's grandmother, Florence Malcolm Milan Legg, was the first home economics teacher in the state of West Virginia. She had one sister, Florence Madelyn Croft, now deceased, who became a counselor at Appalachian State University after teaching for thirty years in West Virginia. After graduating from Ansted High School, Tully entered Concord College in Athens, West Virginia, where she earned a B.A. degree in English in 1938. She then took evening classes at the West Virginia Institute of Technology in Montgomery; attended summer sessions at Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, Ohio; and entered the law school at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, working on a business degree. Tully received her M.A. degree in business from Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, in 1940. From 1938 until 1942, she taught English and business at Nuttal High School in West Virginia. In June 1940, Professor Croft married Henry Montgomery Tully. The couple had one son, Samuel Montgomery (January 6, 1944-), who has a B.S. degree in industrial arts from the West Virginia Institute of Technology, an M.A. degree from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, and a Ph.D. degree from Texas A&M University in College Station. He is employed as chief of technology for the governor of West Virginia in Charleston and is president of Communication Technologies, a consulting organization specializing in the design of large-area video and data networks. Samuel has two sons: Christopher Montgomery and Stephan Croft. In September 1942, Tully accepted a position as head of the business department at Oak Hill High School in Oak Hill, West Virginia. In 1943, she and her husband moved to Charleston, West Virginia, where she accepted a position at South Charleston High School; however, she took leave from the South Charleston school to accompany her husband, who was attending officers candidate school, to California. When her husband returned to the South Pacific, Tully came back to Oak Hill, West Virginia, where her son was born. In 1944, she accepted a position in the Department of Business at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia, where she taught until her husband received his discharge from the Army in 1947. Tully then became assistant professor of business at her alma mater, Concord College, teaching there from 1949 until 1952. In 1952, she resigned at Concord to move with her husband to Cincinnati, Ohio. Soon after the Tully family moved to Cincinnati, "Hank" Tully became disabled due to old service injuries. Professor Tully was then hired by the Demonstration School of Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) to teach high school and methods of business education for the college. During her employment at Appalachian State, she completed work for the M.A. degree in guidance and counseling. In 1955, she accepted a position in the Department of Business Education at Appalachian State and served as the chair of that department for one semester until a permanent chair could be found. At Appalachian State, Tully was active in many campus and national organizations. She held offices in Delta Pi Epsilon (graduate honors), Delta Kappa Gamma (honor teacher), the Boone Business and Professional Women's Club, the North Carolina Education Association, the Eastern Star, and the Watauga County chapter of the American Red Cross. She was also active in the National Business Educators Association, the National Education Association, the Higher Education Association, the International and United Business Association, and the North Carolina Business Education Association. Tully has been listed in Personalities of the South, International Leaders, and several other educational publications. After thirty years of teaching in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, Tully retired in December 1976 and received emerita status that same year. She and her sister moved to Roanoke, Virginia, in 1977. Since retirement, Tully has held offices in the Williamson Road Women's Club, the Blue Ridge District Women's Club, and the Welcome Wagon. She is active in St. James Episcopal Church and volunteers for the Reading Service for the Blind over radio station Voice of the Blue Ridge. She has visited Russia, England, Scandinavia, the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Emeritus Ned Trivette (January 29, 1933-) was born in the Beaver Dam Township of Watauga County, North Carolina, the son of Susie B. Hagaman and A. E. Trivette. Two generations of both parents were native Wataugans, with previous ancestors having migrated to the North Carolina mountains from Virginia and coastal Carolina. Trivette graduated from Bethel High School in the Bethel community of Watauga County. Through the influence of his parents, who had attended Appalachian Training School, and through the influence of many elementary and secondary teachers who had attended Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University), it seemed natural for the young Trivette to enter Appalachian State, too. He graduated in 1955. Trivette married the former Maxine Joyner (deceased August 4, 1990), a 1957 graduate of Appalachian State. Their children, Mark Edward and Susan Michelle, continued their parents' college ​​tradition, both graduating from Appalachian State in 1983. Mark earned his M.S. degree in taxation (1987) from Georgetown University (Washington, District of Columbia) and his J.D. degree (1994) from George Washington University (Washington, District of Columbia). He is married to the former Leigh Anne Hodges of Washington, and the couple currently lives there. Susan is married to Keith Black (D.D.S., University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill), and the couple resides in Asheville, North Carolina. Susan is a "retired" trust officer from First Union National Bank and is a homemaker. Trivette began his professional career with Appalachian State in July 1956. B. Bernard Dougherty, Appalachian vice president and comptroller, invited him to join the business office staff consisting of five individuals. Dougherty's untimely death in 1964 placed Trivette in a position of responsibility for the fiscal and physical affairs of Appalachian State, challenging to the limits his inborn enthusiasm and dedication to the university. It was during this challenging period in the life of Appalachian State that Trivette took a leave of absence to secure a master's in business administration from the Florida State University in 1960. For the next twenty-five years, Trivette became a part of the human resource factor that facilitated the transformation of a teachers' college into a university of more than eleven thousand students. Under the leadership of President William Howard Plemmons, Appalachian State had experienced unprecedented growth in the late fifties and early sixties and even more growth under chancellors Herbert W. Wey and John E. Thomas. During the early growth period, Trivette directed the planning and construction of more than thirty major campus structures, which now create a physical campus acclaimed for service and beauty. Some thirteen highrise residence halls were financed through complex bonding arrangements that now provide low-cost housing for more than 4,500 students. The university also constructed one hundred apartments for campus housing. Academic facilities were expanded by spending $12,000,000 for seven major classroom buildings. A new library was constructed in 1968, followed by a major addition in 1975. The development of support facilities, such as food services, a new bookstore, a new student center, a new postal and health facility, warehouse and physical plant facilities, parking walkways, and other campus enhancements were a part of the total campus expansion effort that provided for a complete university. The unique and modern Center for Continuing Education (now the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center), which was planned and constructed during this exciting period of growth, exemplifies the creative campus growth and expansion which Trivette spearheaded. Conrad Stadium (now Kidd Brewer Stadium) was expanded twice during this period, providing artificial surfaces which give year-round activity options to students. Additionally, during this period, several land acquisitions provided new space for campus expansion, and the campus plant value was enhanced by some $75,000,000 during this period. Community affairs also have been a source of commitment and satisfaction for Trivette, as is demonstrated by his involvement in civic, church, and public activities. He has served as president of the Boone Jaycees, president of Watauga County United Way, chair of Watauga County Planning Board, and chair of Watauga County Transportation Authority; he has also chaired numerous church committees of the Boone First Baptist Church. In 1978, Appalachian State University recognized Trivette as an outstanding alumnus. At his retirement dinner, the administration announced that, in honor of him and his wife, the new cafeteria on the west side of campus was to be named the Ned and Maxine Trivette Hall. Trivette, who continued to serve the university as vice chancellor for business affairs until his retirement on July 31, 1990, resides in his boyhood home in Bethel, North Carolina.

Under Strickland's leadership, the Reich College of Education established a Faculty Development Committee and received a one-million dollar endowment from Ed and Lois Reich, for whom the college is presently named. Curriculum changes enabled students to learn more about developing instructional technology, and the college earned approval to establish an Ed.D. degree program. National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) not only accredited Appalachian State for teacher certification but also recommended that the university serve as a model for other colleges and universities. Strickland has been active in many professional organizations, including the North Carolina Association of Educators, the National Education Association, Phi Delta Kappa, the American Association of School Administrators, the American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education, and the University of North Carolina Council of Teacher Education.

Recognition of Strickland's contributions to education has come from Who's Who in American Education, Kappa Delta Pi, the Appalachian Faculty Senate, the Governor's Commission for the Study of the Public School System of North Carolina, and the University of North Carolina General Administration. Strickland received the Governors' Award for Education Excellence in 1988 and was named in the 1989-90 academic year, in Who's Who in American Education.

After the war, he taught in the Nooksack, Washington school system and at Disston Junior High School in St. Petersburg, Florida. He later earned M.A. and D.Ed, degrees from Teachers College at Columbia University, New York, New York. Spencer married Sarah Lynn Rives Blair of Sanford, North Carolina. He had one child, Patty (1947-), from a former marriage to Ina Fallier of Tallahassee, Florida, and Sarah had three children from a previous marriage: Palmer Blair, Jr. (1949-), Sharon Blair (1954-), and Susan Blair (1956-). Dr. and Mrs. Spencer have had two children, Anna Margaret (1963-) and William, Jr. (1964-). Patty married John Cooke, and their children are Natalie (1972-), and Spence (1975-). Palmer is married to Linda Fields, and the couple has two sons: Palmer, III (1979-) and Samuel (1984-). Sharon married Bryron Tolbert, and the Tolberts have one daughter, Hannah (1989-). Susan is married to Jim Lawrence and Anna married Jim Taylor. Jim has two children from a former marriage: Janet (1980-), and Emilie (1977-). Dr. William Spencer began his career with Appalachian State University in 1951, directing the band and teaching courses in woodwinds, instrument repair, and music education. He also was in charge of the stage band during this time and chaired the Department of Music from 1958 to 1972. During this time, the number of faculty increased from nine to twenty-five, and the department added several new degree programs, including performance, church music, and B.A. degrees. He also was one of the founders of Cannon Music Camp, which is held on Appalachian State's campus each summer. In 1972, Spencer resigned as chair of the Department of Music and, in 1973, he resigned as TTT professor. Within this period, he initiated the guitar program at Appalachian State in conjunction with the Ford Foundation and continued to teach bassoon, woodwind class, theory, conducting, the history and construction of the piano, and guitar classes. Spencer also served as coordinator of audiovisual equipment for the department and as building manager of the Broyhill Music Center. In 1978, he developed and directed the first Appalachian Dulcimer Workshop and Old Tyme Music Concert on the campus; the workshop has continued on an annual basis and has attracted students from all over the country. The new School of Music at Appalachian State has shown its appreciation of Spencer by dedicating a rehearsal room in his honor. Chancellor John Thomas led the dedication ceremony during the 1989 homecoming weekend, officially opening the door to the William G. Spencer Instrumental Rehearsal Hall. In response, Spencer said, "I was pleased that it [the dedication] was done. Of all the various areas in the building, the rehearsal halls are where a lot of the work goes on. I enjoy working hard and the real work behind a performance is done there. I'm pleased to be a part of it." During his tenure at Appalachian State, Spencer served on the Faculty Senate, the Appalachian Studies Council, the Appalachian Consortium Task Force, and numerous other committees; he also served as chair of the new music building committee as Appalachian planned for the move into the Broyhill Music Center. Along with his academic responsibilities, he continued to play the bassoon professionally in a number of community and professional orchestras, including the North Carolina Symphony. Spencer is a member of the following organizations: Pi Kappa Lambda, the Music Educators National Conference, the International Double Reed Society, and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. He also has served as a music consultant, clinician, and contest judge in most of the Southern states. He is a past president of the North Carolina Music Educators Association, as well as a past chair of the higher education section and a member-at-large. Phi Mu Alpha students honored Spencer by awarding him the Orpheus Award. He was also honored with receptions and awards by the Music Educators National Conference and by Sigma Alpha Iota. Former Department of Music, chair Bill McCloud said of Spencer: "Appalachian is lucky to have had in its midst a man who has surfaced as a strong and effective leader, a highly respected contributor to the profession, a diligent overseer, a stern and fair counselor, a tireless taskmaster, and of most importance, one who is a genuine friend." Spencer was recently elected the tenth president of the Association of the Fourth Fighter Group of World War II. It is the oldest of all fighter groups in World War II, having initially been a volunteer squadron made up of United States pilots volunteering with the British Air Force, and eventually incorporated into the United States forces and dubbed the "Fighting Fourth." Spencer was also very active in the Boone community. He is a former choir director in the Presbyterian Church, as well as a former elder and past chair of the Board of Deacons. Spencer is also a past member of the Lions Club and a past president of the Civitans. He and his wife were longtime members of the Fifty-Nighters, a group of which Spencer is a past president. Presently, Spencer is a choir member in the Presbyterian Church and a charter member and secretary of the barbershop chorus in Boone. Dr. Spencer retired from teaching on July 1, 1986, but continued working part-time as building coordinator and audiovisual equipment manager until 1989. The Spencers still live in Boone year-round. Dr. Spencer's retirement activities include woodworking, traveling, volunteering, fishing, and making music when "the spirit moves."

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Robert (Bob) Earl Snead (August 20, 1934-) was born in the Sandhills region of Scotland County, North Carolina. He and his younger brother, Sam (b. 1941), are the sons of Myrtle Barber and Jesse Snead. Jesse was a successful cotton farmer and county leader while Myrtle was a tireless worker in local industry, the Snead's Grove Methodist Church, and a host of civic and county organizations. Snead graduated from Laurinburg High School (North Carolina) in 1951, and was the first from either side of his family to attend college. He entered Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) in 1951 and earned bachelor's and master's degrees by 1957. As an undergraduate, he was active in student organizations and athletics, serving as president of the freshman class and the junior class and as a member of the student council. In addition, he participated in a variety of clubs and lettered as a member of the tennis team. On August 24, 1957, Snead married Minnie Austin of Boone in a service at the First Baptist Church. Minnie had just completed her freshman year at Appalachian State, and she graduated in 1960 with a B.S. degree in home economics and child development. She taught kindergarten at home and at the First Baptist Church until the state of North Carolina approved the inclusion of kindergarten in the public schools in 1972. Starting that year, she taught five-year-olds at Valle Crucis School until her retirement in 1998. The Snead's have two children. Their daughter, Sandra, was born on October 20, 1960, and is married to Scott Brown of Randleman, North Carolina. Sandy and Scott live with their son Robert, in High Point, North Carolina. Samuel Austin, the Sneads' son, was born on February 23, 1964, and is married to Anna Hamrick of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Sam and Anna live in Asheville, North Carolina. Following graduation, Snead accepted a position to teach biology and mathematics at Appalachian High School (now Watauga High School), which, at that time, was on the campus of Appalachian State and served as its demonstration school. During his nine years at Appalachian High School, he coached, at various times, baseball, basketball, and tennis. For seven of those years, he taught science methods to college students and served as supervising teacher for more than fifteen student teachers. In March 1966, Snead accepted the position of director of alumni affairs at Appalachian State, a post he held until 1971. When Dr. Herbert W. Wey succeeded Dr. W.H. Plemmons as president (a title later changed to chancellor), Wey asked Snead to draft a plan for establishing a development office, a fund-raising organization, and a foundation for the institution. When Snead presented the plan to Wey, Wey asked him to assume the responsibility, as Appalachian State's first director of development, for implementing it. Snead was instrumental in establishing the Appalachian State University Foundation in November 1970. In early 1971, the university announced its first major fund-raising drive, with a goal of eight million dollars by 1978. "Eight by '78" was the theme for the campaign, which ultimately achieved its goal some two years early. In early 1972, Chancellor Wey requested, and the Board of Trustees approved, a reorganization plan which established the Office of Development as a major division of the university-joining Academic Affairs, Business Affairs, and Student Affairs. Snead was then named vice chancellor of Development and Public Affairs, a title he held until 1989. During Snead's nineteen years as chief development officer for the university, the division evolved into a comprehensive public relations organization, encompassing alumni affairs, news bureau, public affairs, and printing and publications, in addition to development, fund-raising, and the Appalachian Foundation. It was during his tenure that several significant initiatives were begun by the development division and foundation which remain vital programs for the university. These include the Yosef Club, the Appalachian House in Washington, District of Columbia; the New York Loft; the Dark Sky Observatory; An Appalachian Summer; and the student ambassador organization. In 1989, Snead accepted Chancellor John Thomas' request that he become executive assistant to the chancellor, a position he held until his retirement in 1997. In this position, he worked as liaison between the chancellor's office and the North Carolina General Assembly, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, and Appalachian State's Board of Trustees. In addition, he chaired special projects for the university and continued contacts with special constituencies. Throughout his career, Snead was active in community and civic organizations. For more than thirty-four years, he taught a men's Sunday School class at the First Baptist Church in Boone. He has served as president/chair of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce, the Boone Jaycees, the Watauga County Recreation Commission, and the High Country United Way. He was one of the founders of the Watauga County Little League Baseball Program and served as its president for seven years. He has been a member of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors continually since 1967. Upon Snead's retirement in September 1997, Governor James B. Hunt awarded him the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state's highest award for its citizens. In 1998, Appalachian's Board of Trustees named Snead vice chancellor for development and public affairs emeritus. As of this writing, he continues his involvement in community, church and civic affairs. He spends his time growing Christmas trees, looking after his family farm, traveling with his wife, and playing golf. Sources: Long association and personal correspondence. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Music Herbert Max Smith (August 24, 1931-) was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the youngest of seven children of Daisy McDonald and Charles Smith. After attending elementary and high school in Parsons, Kansas, Smith graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Missouri in Columbia, where he was inducted into the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia national music fraternity. He earned the Master of Music degree in organ performance at the University of Oklahoma, in Norman, where he was Mildred Andrews' pupil. After some years as a church organist, he pursued work in New York and completed the Doctor of Sacred Music degree at Union Theological Seminary, New York, New York. Concurrently, Smith studied organ with Carol Weinrich at Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. He was twice first-place winner of the regional American Guild of Organists' competition for young organists, resulting in performances at the guild's national conventions held in San Francisco and New York. In 1959, Smith accepted a post as artist-in-residence at Southeastern Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he later became an associate professor. He was then invited to join the music faculty at Appalachian State University, and he taught at the university for twenty-five years, retiring in 1994. At Appalachian State, Smith developed, and was the first director of, the University Honors Program and, as such, was instrumental in establishing Watauga College. For four years, he served as chair of the music faculty, during which time plans were made and construction begun for the Broyhill Music Center. In 1974, Smith was honored with the Trustees' Award for Outstanding Teaching. An off-campus scholarly assignment gave Dr. Smith the opportunity to study musicology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Within this period, he also edited and published the first volume of German Classic Organ Music, 1750-1800 (Hinshaw Publishing Company) and studied harpsichord in New York with Kenneth Cooper. He then participated in the exchange professor program and taught at the Universidad Americana in San German, Puerto Rico. Shortly before retirement, Smith held the Sharpe Chair in the Fine Arts. During his Appalachian State tenure, Smith taught applied organ and harpsichord, music history and theory, and courses in the church music curriculum. At the graduate level, he taught various specialized courses and music bibliography. As a concert organist, Smith has performed hundreds of recitals in twenty-six states and five European countries. In addition, he has acted as a consultant to over one hundred churches regarding the purchase, design, and installation of pipe organs. Smith has, as well, served as clinician and workshop leader at numerous state and national conventions of church musicians. Upon retirement, Dr. Smith moved to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for seven years where he was organist at First Baptist Church and Mt. Tabor United Methodist Church. He was also continuo player for the Carolina Chamber Symphony and for the annual Messiah performances. He served on the board of directors for the Chamber Symphony and the Hiddenite Center. He also taught as a sabbatic replacement at Wake Forest University and Salem College. Dr. Max has returned to his beloved mountains and now resides once again in Boone, where he looks after his adopted Puerto Rican family and plays "grandpa" to Bianca and "little" Max Pacheco. He continues to be devoted to his many former students who visit him often. When eyes permit, he still climbs on the organ bench to substitute on Sunday mornings.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Psychology Arthur M. Skibbe, Jr. (February 14, 1943-) was born in St. Louis, Missouri. After graduating from East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, Skibbe attended Stetson University, Deland, Florida, where he majored in English and journalism. He dropped out after a year-and-a-half, hitchhiked around the country for several months, and then sold magazines and encyclopedias in Kentucky and Indiana. Returning to Stetson University, Skibbe switched his major to American Studies and eventually transferred to Charlotte College (now the University of North Carolina-Charlotte). At Charlotte College, Skibbe changed his major to psychology and worked as a research assistant to the chair of the Department of Psychology, Lew Diamant, and to Professors Duane Schultz and David Sohn. His university education was interrupted by a two-year stint in the United States Army, during which he guarded nuclear missiles. During the 1960s, after his Army service, Skibbe worked with several newspapers including The Charlotte News, The Charlotte Observer, and several weekly papers in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Primarily a news reporter and feature writer, he spent some time in such diverse areas as obituaries, sports, editorials and even weddings. Skibbe returned to Charlotte College in 1969, graduated with a B.A. degree in psychology and moved to Atlanta to work at the Georgia Mental Health Institute. In 1970, he entered the doctoral program at Emory University and was privileged to study under Drs. Marshall Duke, Don Kiesler, Boyd McCandless, Steve Nowicki, and Bonnie Strickland. He did his internship in Gainesville, Florida, and studied neuropsychological testing under Dr. Paul Satz. While in Atlanta, Skibbe was actively involved in the Community Crisis Center, a volunteer-run center for residents of the city's alternative community. He also was the founder of Talking Point, Emory's student-operated telephone crisis center. In 1975, Skibbe was awarded his Ph.D. degree from Emory University, thus becoming the first graduate student out of Charlotte College's psychology program to receive a doctorate. In the same year, Dr. Skibbe came to Appalachian State University to teach in the Department of Psychology and to work in the University's Counseling Center. He was involved in the center for fifteen years, working as a therapist and supervisor. For several years Skibbe collaborated with Dr. Joyce Crouch, chair of the Department of Psychology, and with General College Dean Ken Webb on the Freshman Project Study. The results of this study, which investigated the benefits of having incoming freshmen live in dormitories with students who also took general college classes together, were quite positive and led to further attempts to enhance the freshman experience. Dr. Skibbe also worked, during a ten-year period, with Dr. Ed Turner, as co-director of the Interdisciplinary Creativity Program. This was recognized nationally as an innovative approach to fostering creativity and produced the most unique room in the history of Appalachian State University. In 1989, Dr. Skibbe was chosen Teacher of the Year for the School of Arts and Sciences by the Student Government. He retired in 2004 and was approved by the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees as a faculty emeritus. Since retiring, Art has divided his time between his house in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, his girlfriend's house in Morganton, North Carolina, and hostelling in Mexico and Central America.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Chemistry Donald Woodfin Sink (November 10, 1937-) was born in Salisbury, North Carolina. He and his wife, Gwen, have three children: Donna Lynn (May 24, 1961-), Daryl Weston (February 15, 1968-), and Tamberlyn Kathleen (January 18, 1970-). Gwen has a master's degree from Appalachian State University, and all three Sink children have degrees-bachelor's or master's-from the university. Sink earned an A.B. degree in chemistry and mathematics from Catawba College, Salisbury, North Carolina. After graduate studies in chemistry at the University of Florida in Gainesville, he earned a Ph.D. degree (1965) in this field from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Dr. Sink taught for one year (1960-61) at Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) before becoming a part-time instructor at the University of South Carolina, while attending the university as an NDEA IV fellow. From 1965 to 1967, he was an assistant professor at Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hickory, North Carolina. Sink then worked as an assistant professor at Northern Michigan University in Marquette before returning to Appalachian State in 1968 as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry. In 1970, Sink was promoted to associate professor. He attained the rank of professor in 1972, and he received a joint appointment, in 1973, as professor in the departments of chemistry and secondary education. In 1975, Sink was appointed assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; subsequently, he was named associate dean (1986), acting dean (1990), and dean of the college (1991). Dr. Sink devoted twenty-five of his thirty years at Appalachian State to administration, and, during that time, he witnessed unprecedented growth in the College of Arts and Sciences. Under his leadership, the college continued the Academy of Outstanding Teachers (initiated by Dean Bill Byrd) and implemented the Outstanding Scholar Award, which, upon Dr. Sink's retirement, was endowed and named the "Donald W. Sink Outstanding Scholar Award." Dr. Sink also continued the "William C. Strickland Award for Outstanding Young Faculty Members." He reorganized the administrative offices of the college by creating the divisions of undergraduate studies, student services, and advising; developed an arts and sciences logo, the Faculty Advising Manual, the Appalachian Humanities Program, the Alliance for Teaching Science, the Arts and Sciences Advancement Council, the Dean's Advisory Council, and an extremely successful external fund-raising program, under the direction of the Arts and Sciences development officer; supervised the installation of the Dark Sky Observatory and the construction of a new building for teaching and research in the natural sciences; and welcomed internationally known scholars and Nobel Laureate prize-winning speakers to Appalachian's campus. During his academic career, Sink served on the Credit for Prior Learning Committee, the Teacher Education Council, the Faculty Senate, the University Studies Curriculum Council, the Committee for Environmental Education, the Department Safety Committee, the Institutional Studies and Planning Committee, the Registration and Calendar Committee, the General College's Ad Hoc Committee to study role and function, and the Department Personnel Committee. He also served as a college elections chair. In addition to his administrative and academic duties at Appalachian State, Dr. Sink served as president and seventeen-year member of the board of trustees of the American Lung Association of North Carolina; he was a member of the executive board of the American Field Service, and chair of the Watauga County Airport Commission. His organization of the Hickory chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association earned him, in August of 1990, the EAAs Major Achievement Award for Outstanding Service to Sport Aviation-one of only ten awards given nationally that year. In addition, he was honored as the recipient of an Award of Appreciation from the North Carolina chapter of the Alpha Chi National Honor Society, an organization for which he served as the Appalachian chapter's official sponsor. Sink was professionally affiliated with the American Chemical Society (treasurer and chair of the Carolina-Piedmont section), the Society of Sigma Xi, and Chi Beta Phi.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Biology Ken Shull (October 15,1941-) was born in Anniston, Alabama, the only child of J. Kenneth, Sr. and Ruth C. Shull. His parents were well known in the community where they owned and operated Cook Furniture Co. Ken worked many summers and holidays in the furniture store. Ken's roots are in Arkansas (maternal grandfather), Lexington County, South Carolina (paternal grandfather), and Anniston (both grandmothers). Always interested in science, Ken was finally told by an elementary school teacher that he could not check out any more science books to read until he had read something else. The love of science and nature came from his father and paternal grandfather. He attended the public schools of Anniston, graduating from Anniston High School in 1959. From there he earned a B.S. in chemistry at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. While an undergraduate he took a non-majors heredity course and became hooked on genetics, which led him to earn an M.S. in biology under Dr. Roger Sayers. From there he went to The Florida State University to earn a Ph.D. degree in cytogenetics under Dr. Margaret Menzel, in 1973. His work there on the chromosomes of the genus Lilium continued throughout his professional career. In addition, he has published papers on the chromosomes of fish, one on a hyperparasite and a bioethics paper in a theology journal. Ken was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army reserves and spent his time at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas in 1972. Counting that time in Texas, Ken and his wife have lived in five southern states and one summer in a sixth. He was infamous for talking very fast, so he told his students that he had a "fast drawl." Carolyn Saxon became his wife in 1967 and they have two children, J. Kenneth Shull III who, with his wife Krissy, lives in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Gwyndolen Ridenhour who lives in Bismarck, North Dakota with her husband Jamie and their two children, Ian (June, 2000) and Eva (May, 2003). Both Kenneth and Gwyn received their degrees from Appalachian State University. Kenneth took a P.E. class in SCUBA at Appalachian and talked Ken into taking the class, as well. They now dive the coral reefs off of St. Croix whenever Ken and Carolyn are there for a visit. Kenneth has a dive-service business on the island. Gwyn's husband is an assistant professor of English at Mary University in Bismarck. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, Ken became an electron microscopist for Dr. Robert Short at Florida State until he left eight months later to become an assistant professor at Loyola University in New Orleans. At Loyola, he found remarkably bright students who were almost all pre-health profession students. He was promoted to associate professor and in 1983 became the chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Loyola. New Orleans is not Ken's type of town, so in 1984, he accepted a faculty position at Appalachian State University (ASU). From the first time he and Carolyn visited the campus they knew that they had found the place they had been looking for. Ken was promoted to Professor in 1988. Teaching responsibilities at the two institutions included Concepts of Biology (ASU), General Botany, General Zoology (Loyola), Genetics, Graduate Genetics and Biotechnology and Society, a bioethics course. He introduced the graduate genetics and bioethics course at both institutions, genetics laboratory at ASU and, along with Dr. Jeff Butts, Concepts of Biology at ASU. His love of teaching can be traced all the way back to when he was in the second grade and was asked by the second grade teacher and the third grade teacher to talk to their classes about honeybees. Ken was named the Association of Southeastern Biologists Meritorious Teacher and was also made a member of the Arts and Sciences Academy of Outstanding Teachers at ASU. Advising students was one of his greatest joys. He was the chair of the Pre-Health Advisory Committee for several years at Appalachian, and under his leadership the acceptance rate of those applying to medical, dental, veterinary and other health related schools greatly improved, even reaching 100 percent in several years. He was named the Arts and Sciences Outstanding Adviser the second year the award was given. Students whom he taught over 30 years ago continue to stay in contact with him. Being active in the Association of Southeastern Biologists since 1969, he has served on many committees of the association as well as serving as editor of The ASB Bulletin (now named Southeastern Biology), Vice President and President. In addition, Ken organized four Boone Chromosome Conferences in the late '80s and early '90s which drew participants from around the world. In 2006, he invited the International Chromosome Conference (ICC) to meet in Boone in 2009. That meeting will be held at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center and is expected to draw 400 to 450 of the leading cytogeneticists from around the world. It will be the 17th ICC and the first held outside of Europe. Ken has served on the board of directors of the Walter McNeil Foundation in New Orleans and currently serves on the boards of the Southern Appalachian Historical Society as well as the local Torch club. In New Orleans he was asked to serve on the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at Xavier University, spoke on bio-ethics at the LSU Medical School's Grand Rounds and at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Three things define Ken Shull. First, his devotion to God. He has taught adult Sunday School classes for over 25 years and thoroughly enjoys Bible study and tries to apply the lessons of the Bible in his daily life. He is very active in the First Baptist Church of Boone. Being a biologist he has fought for an understanding among Christians that evolution was not antithetical to Christianity and has spoken to many groups on this subject. Second, is his devotion to Carolyn. He is absolutely convinced that they have the best relationship of any married couple that he knows. He is equally convinced that Carolyn is the best wife in the world! Third, is his devotion to his children and grandchildren. He is very proud of all of them and his daughter-in-law and son-in-law. After retirement many people move to a different location - a warmer climate or back to their hometowns. Ken and Carolyn decided to stay in Boone where the climate is ideal for them, they have made their friends and where they make their home on five acres of woodland. Life is good!

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emeritus of Mathematical Sciences Richard ("Dick") J. Schalk (August 22, 1925-) was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was raised with four brothers and two sisters. He was called to active duty with the Army Air Corps after graduating from Marquette University High School in 1943. Schalk was commissioned a second lieutenant at age nineteen, when he completed navigation school. His twenty-one years of worldwide military service included a tour in the South Pacific, with stints in Japan and the Philippines. Soon after he returned from the Far East, Schalk left for Germany and a year's duty in the Berlin airlift. Completion of the Air Force instructors' school led to four years of teaching navigation to aviation cadets and to work on the Air Force navigation manual. During this time, Schalk met his wife, Florence, whom he married in the hospital chapel of Fort Lewis, Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Schalk later took their two children on a three-year assignment to Tripoli, Libya, where their third child was born. While in Libya, Schalk navigated aircraft for the United States Embassy on flights throughout the Middle East. While he was still in service, Schalk earned his B.S. degree (1957) in military science at the University of Maryland. He did additional undergraduate work at Cumberland University, the University of Houston, and Arkansas State Teachers' College. After leaving the Air Force in 1963, Schalk earned an M.S. degree in mathematics at the University of Arkansas before joining the faculty of Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) in 1965. He completed additional graduate work at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and at the University of Minnesota. During his tenure in Appalachian State's Department of Mathematical Sciences, Schalk developed and taught the department's first section of business calculus. He also taught many of the department's upper-level statistics courses until a statistician joined the faculty. To provide fresh air and exercise outside the classroom, the Schalk's bought a run-down farm and transformed it into a Christmas tree plantation. Dr. Schalk and his wife still reside in the Boone house in which they raised their five children: Richard, Rita, Ruth, and twins Elaine and Ellen. Four of their children have undergraduate degrees from Appalachian State, with the other degree conferred by North Carolina State. All five children have earned graduate degrees. The Board of Trustees conferred emeritus status on Dr. Schalk on May 20, 1992. Sources: Appalachian State University files. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Finance, Banking and Insurance Richard Schaffer (June 30, 1948-) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his B.S. degree in business administration from the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his J.D. degree from the University of Mississippi. After a brief period of law practice in Jackson, Mississippi, he earned his LL.M. from New York University, followed by additional study in international law in Paris and an internship in international service with the United Nations. During his early years at Appalachian State University, he continued his United Nations work as a visiting consultant to the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Branch in New York, San Jose, and Vienna on projects related to international economic crime and socio-economic development. Schaffer began his career at Appalachian State in 1977. His primary teaching responsibilities were in business law, trade law, and international business transactions. During the 1980s, Professor Schaffer initiated many of the international programs now popular in the College of Business. He was instrumental in developing the first college-wide curriculum in international business, the first college-wide summer business study-abroad program, and the first student organization in international business. These initiatives provided the framework for the college's international business programs continuing today. Schaffer worked to introduce students to many business people active in international business and to provide internship and career opportunities. As director for education of the North Carolina World Trade Association, he worked statewide to enhance linkages between North Carolina firms and the state's universities and private colleges. Professor Schaffer served as the director of international business studies in Appalachian State's College of Business from 1985 to 1987. One of Professor Schaffer's most notable academic contributions was the publication of his textbook International Business Law and Its Environment, a West publication by Cengage Learning, now in its 7th edition. The work originally published in 1989, was the first of its kind and is widely recognized today as having defined the field of study at the college level. International Business Law and Its Environment had a great impact on the teaching of business law nationwide, leading the way toward the internationalization of the field and toward the introduction of courses in international business law at many universities. The book is widely used today at leading universities in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia, and has been cited in such prestigious professional journals as the Annual Survey of International 8c Comparative Law, Berkeley Journal of International Law, Journal of Legal Studies Education, New England Law Review, New York University Law Review, Yale Journal of International Law, and many others. Since retiring, Professor Schaffer has devoted time to his own business interests as chair of the Board of Directors of DeWoolfson Down International, Inc. DeWoolfson is a leading manufacturer of down products for the home, with distribution throughout North America and with retail outlets in the Carolinas. Schaffer maintains his interest in international business through his relationships with business partners in Western and Eastern Europe and in China, and with his customers in Canada, Mexico, and other countries. He is also an active member and volunteer with the North Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association. He has worked many search and rescue missions in the region for lost and missing persons, including children, boaters, hunters, Alzheimer's patients, and others in need. Professor Schaffer has two children and continues to reside in Watauga County.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Human Development & Psychological Counseling Robert Terry Sack (November 16, 1941-) was born in Big Rapids, Michigan, and grew up primarily in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His father, Robert (1911-) resides in Grand Rapids, and an older sister, Carole Ann, lives in Henrietta, New York. His mother Doris (b. 1912) and younger sister Mary Jane (b. 1943), passed away in 2004. Sack graduated from Godwin Heights High School in 1959. He earned a B.A. degree in psychology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1963. This was followed by two years of service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bolivia. In 1967, he received a M.A. degree in international and area studies from Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. This led to a position with the Peace Corps in Washington, District of Columbia, where Sack was a Latin American Liaison Officer in the Office of Volunteer Support from 1968 until 1969. He left Washington to enter a doctoral program at Purdue University and received his Ph.D. degree in counselor education and counseling psychology in 1972. On June 25, 1988, Sack married Donna Louise Doughty (May 29, 1962-) in Columbia, South Carolina. Donna earned an undergraduate degree in psychology from Presbyterian College in 1983. She also holds two M.A. degrees from Appalachian State University-the first in clinical psychology (1986), and the second in school counseling (2002). She is a school counselor at South Caldwell High School. Dr. Sack has two children from a previous marriage. A son, Steven T. (1973-), earned his degree in industrial and organizational psychology from Appalachian State University in 1998. Steven works as a project manager for the Bank of America in Charlotte, North Carolina. A daughter, Susan E. Sutter (1975-), earned a B.A. degree in interdisciplinary studies from Appalachian State University in 1997 and an M.A. degree in public and international affairs from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000. She and her husband, Rob, currently reside in Asuncion, Paraguay, where Susan is a Foreign Service Officer at the United States Embassy. Dr. Sack's career at Appalachian State University began in 1972, when he was appointed to a faculty position in the Department of Human Development and Psychological Counseling. His academic appointment also included released time to provide counseling services to the university community. For the first twenty years of his tenure, Sack was a counselor to Appalachian State University students in the university counseling center, and he more recently counseled faculty, staff, and their family members as part of the Hubbard Center's Faculty and Staff Counseling Program. Through these programs he provided individual, family, and group counseling services to hundreds of members of the Appalachian State University community. Dr. Sack taught more than twelve different graduate courses; he also developed and taught two courses new to the curriculum: Introduction to Community Counseling and Sexual Abuse Counseling. He was, as well, the coordinator of the Community Counselor Program from its inception in 1985 until he left full-time teaching in 2001. Sack served on numerous departmental, college, and university committees and was active in state and professional organizations as the American Mental Health Counselors Association, where he was a charter member and first state president of the association. He served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Mental Health Counseling (1991-1994) and the Journal of Counseling and Development (1995-2001). Dr. Sack held credentials as a certified clinical mental health counselor and as a national certified counselor, and his publications often dealt with many of the realities of being a practicing counselor. Included among Sack's published works are the following titles: • "A Counseling Counselor." North Carolina Personnel and Guidance Journal (1976). • "On Giving Advise." American Mental Health Counselors Association Journal (1988). • "Counseling Responses When Clients Say, 'I don't know'." Journal of Mental Health Counseling (1988). • "Finding the Right Counselor For You." Hubbard Center Happenings (1994). Beginning in 1988, Dr. Sack renewed his long-time interest in and commitment to working in the international arena. He and his colleague of many years, Professor Emeritus A1 Greene, made the first of what were to be many trips to Cochabamba, Bolivia. During their almost yearly trips to Bolivia, they taught university courses and consulted with and assisted a variety of local Bolivian human service agencies and institutions. All Greene's and Sack's work was, by necessity, conducted in Spanish, and Sack dedicated much time and effort to perfecting his language skills. The professors also took Human Development and Psychological Counseling graduate students to Bolivia for advanced multicultural classes to give them an "immersion experience" in Latin culture. In 2002, Dr. Sack was recognized by the Office of International Programs at Appalachian State for these sustained efforts, when he was the recipient of the "Unsung Hero" award. Sack was also involved with several North Carolina institutions and their international programs. He was on the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Partners of the Americas from 1991 until 1993. He also served on the Board of Directors of North Carolina Citizens for International Understanding (NCCIU) from 1997 until 2000. During this tenure, he served as the board's treasurer in 1998 and was president from 1999 until 2000. Dr. Sack and his wife Donna enjoy international travel and, through the NCCIU program, have participated in home-stays in Costa Rica, Spain, New Zealand and Norway. Dr. Sack also enjoys athletic activities and has played softball, racquetball, tennis, and basketball for many years. At the age of fifty he took up golf, and plans to continue with it throughout his retirement years. His plans also include interpreting and translating for local human service agencies that work with Spanish-speaking families.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emerita of Music Sandra Lee Robertson was born in 1940 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, to Marvin Alton Robertson and Elouise Whitmore Robertson. Her father worked for the War/Manpower Commission, and her mother worked as a secretary and taught typing at Madison College. Robertson had two siblings: a sister, Bonnie Lynn, born in 1945, and a brother, Alton Wayne (1949-2002). In 1947, the family moved to Roanoke, Virginia, where Robertson's father was founder and CEO of Rusco Window Company, and her mother was active in civic, church, and arts organizations. In high school, Robertson participated in dance, drama, and music, becoming president of the student music club, of the Thespians, and of her sorority. She played Bernadette in The Song of Bernadette and took leading roles in two one-act plays. She also served as a student director. Before high school graduation, Robertson played a solo senior piano recital. At sixteen, she got her first taste of the working world, spending a summer working in the Venetian blind factory at her father's company. In 1958, Robertson entered the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a performance major in piano, studying with Beryl Ladd. The summer of her freshman year, she performed as a dancer in the outdoor drama Thy Kingdom Come, and, in 1960, she studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, with the Mozart expert, Kurt Neumuller. While in Europe, she traveled to France, Germany, England, Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Greece, Jordan, and Egypt. Her fine arts professor took their class to Italy, where he made the arts come alive for them. They attended an audience with Pope John the 23rd, where Oberlin students sang for him. Robertson graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory in 1962, with a Bachelor of Music degree in piano performance. After graduating, she returned to Roanoke to teach in the pre-college department of Hollins, where she earned enough money to begin graduate school and buy her first car, a 1952 Buick. She performed concerts at Hollins and at the Roanoke Fine Arts Festival and she also played for a silent film series. She joined Showtimers, an amateur theatrical group, and played Helen's mother in The Miracle Worker, the story of Helen Keller. In 1964, Ms. Robertson began graduate studies at Indiana University as a piano performance major, studying with Menahem Pressler, founder of the Beaux Arts Trio. She graduated from Indiana University in 1966 with a master's degree in performance, and she then joined the faculty at Stratford College in Danville, Virginia, where she taught piano, theory, and music history. She realized a lifelong dream in 1968, when she performed Schumann's Concerto in A Minor as guest soloist with the Roanoke Symphony. In 1968, Robertson joined the faculty of Southern Seminary in Buena Vista, Virginia. In 1969, Appalachian State University sought her out, and she joined the university faculty, where she taught undergraduate and graduate students. Over the years, her students were chosen as winners and finalists for the concertoaria competition. One student was recently selected as the keyboard representative in the honors recital series. Robertson was awarded Pi Kappa Lambda and was a patroness of Sigma Alpha Iota. She is also a member of the Liszt Society and the North Carolina Music Teachers Association. In 1971, she studied with Dr. Bela Boszormenyi-Nagy at Boston University and continued to receive his coaching until his death in 1988. Sadly, her father also died in 1988, and, after her mother died in 1974, Robertson began work on a doctorate at Florida State University, where she received the highest music entrance scores. At Florida State she studied piano with Karyl Louwenaar, and, in 1975, she returned to Appalachian State to resume teaching. While teaching at Appalachian State, Robertson performed with the university orchestra, including Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin; Concerto in A Minor, Grieg; Concerto No. 2, Rachmaninoff; Two-Piano Concerto, Poulenc; and Three-Piano Concerto, Mozart. She played for and with faculty members and students, especially for Dr. Harold McKinney, whom she enjoyed accompanying for many years. Robertson gave guest concerts at numerous colleges and music organizations. A highlight was her performance in the distinguished first American Liszt Festival as accompanist for Kay Kraft. She received reviews praising her "extremely sensitive manner." Over the years, Robertson adjudicated the concertoaria competition; the Fletcher competition; the North Carolina Music Teachers Association, college division; and various music club competitions in North Carolina. As a faculty emerita of music, she continues to be involved with Appalachian State, recently traveling with present and past faculty members Bair Shagdaran and Allen Kindt to judge piano students in South Carolina. In retirement, Robertson enjoys private teaching, performing, travel, her sister Bonnie and her family, and many former students and close friends.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Communication Patton Breon Reighard (March 10, 1949-) was born and reared in Lenoir, North Carolina, the middle son of Rose Withers and George Breon Reighard. While in the Lenoir school system, Reighard played the French horn in the Davenport Junior High School Band and in the highly rated Lenoir High School Band. He was a member of the wrestling team in high school and received the Most Valuable Player Award his senior year, based on his undefeated regular season record. Reighard graduated from high school in 1966 and enrolled in the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). While there, Reighard was on the varsity wrestling team, played French horn in the UNC-CH Concert Band and in the UNC-CH Symphony Orchestra, and was a research assistant at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center. He graduated with a B.A. degree in psychology in 1970 and enrolled at Appalachian State University, where he was one of the first graduate students in the new clinical psychology program. During his second year of graduate school at Appalachian State, Reighard married his grade-school sweetheart, Fredel Thompson. After serving a six-month internship at Highland Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, in June of 1972, Reighard and his wife became the first two recipients of the M.A. degree in clinical psychology from Appalachian State. Reighard then worked part-time for a year as a psychological consultant at the Foothills Mental Health Center in Lenoir and as an agent in the Lenoir License Plate Agency branch of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. In 1973, Reighard enrolled in the radio-TV-film doctoral program in the College of Communication at the University of Texas, Austin, (UT). While there, he was a teaching assistant in the Department of Radio-TV-Film, was given a graduate research award by the UT Graduate School, was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, and produced and directed award-winning six-teen-millimeter films, including Cool Lemonade and Sunday Funnies. Reighard graduated from UT in 1977 with a Ph.D. degree in communication (radio-TV-film). During the last week of January 1978, after working a few months establishing PATCOM, a communication consulting business, Reighard received a request from an Appalachian State faculty member who had been in graduate school with Reighard at UT: would he interview for a faculty position in the Department of Communication at Appalachian State that had just become available due to a resignation? On February 1, 1978, thinking the job would only last through the end of the semester, Reighard began working as an assistant professor at Appalachian State. He was promoted to associate professor in 1983 and to professor in 1989. Reighard also served Appalachian State in an administrative capacity. When initially hired, he held the position of Director of Broadcasting (DOB), which involved managing Appalachian's noncommercial education radio station, WASU-FM. Under his guidance, the station became more professional and grew to a student staff of over one hundred. Reighard withdrew from the DOB position in 1986 and began teaching full-time. In 1990, he was appointed as the assistant dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts and became the college's associate dean in 1993. While he was at Appalachian State, Reighard served on a number of departmental, college, and university committees and councils, including his three years as an elected at-large member of the Faculty Senate. He initiated and led a series of visioning retreats and workshops, which resulted in the creation of the first vision statement for the university, An Appalachian Summer, Alumni Affairs, and the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC). His development activities included leadership positions in several campus campaigns, including two years as chair of Appalachian's State Employees Combined Campaign, which won several awards in 2000. Reighard has numerous publications, scholarly presentations, and workshop presentations to his credit. In addition, he has written, produced, directed, and edited dozens of audio, video, and multimedia programs. Reighard has participated in a wide variety of professional experiences. He served as a grant reader in a discretionary grant application process for the Office of Indian Education in the United States Department of Education. For three years, he was one of only seventy-five scholars selected from broadcasting faculty nationwide to participate in the International Radio & Television Society Faculty/Industry Seminar, winning the Stephen H. Coltrin Award for Excellence in Communications Education in 2000. Reighard served as the institutional representative to the 1995 Fort Bragg Reserve Officers' Training Corps' Advanced Camp- Camp All American. Reighard's international experience includes teaching a course at the University of Gdansk in Poland and serving as a Rotary International Group Study Exchange participant in Japan. A long-time member of the Broadcast Education Association, he served as the chair of its Writing Division for a year. Reighard continues to be an active member of SEANC, having served at the local level as chair of District Three and at the state level as co-chair of the Planning Committee, Western Region Representative to the Executive Committee and First Vice President of SEANC. A long association with the National Broadcasting Society-AERho was culminated in his election as national president for 2003-2005. He is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission as a restricted radiotelephone operator and is licensed and certified as a psychological associate by the North Carolina Psychology Board and the Texas State Board of Examiners of Practicing Psychologists. Reighard has long been engaged in performances of various types, beginning with his ventriloquist act, "Pat and Kilroy," when he was eight years old. Once billed as the "World's Youngest Ventriloquist," he has given hundreds of ventriloquial performances in such venues as schools, civic clubs, and television. He also enjoys acting in community theatre, and has won, from Foothills Performing Arts, Inc., the Willy Award for Best Character Actor and the "Golden Thespis" Willy Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Theatre. Reighard's greatest reward has been his marriage to Fredel. With a B.A. degree from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, a B.S.N, degree from Lenoir-Rhyne College, an M.A. degree from Appalachian State, and an M.S.N, degree from University of North Carolina- Greensboro, she recently retired from her position as Dean of Health Sciences at Mayland Community College in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Reighard was awarded emeritus status by the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees in December 2004. He and his wife reside on a ridge just outside of Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Language, Reading and Exceptionalities Dorothea N. Rau (March 31, 1925-) was born as the tenth child of the Lutheran minister Christian Rau and his wife, Freida, in the Black Forest town of Wildberg in Germany. After the death of both her parents in 1931, she was raised by an aunt in the old university town of Tubingen. Her school years were overshadowed by increasing control by the Hitler regime and by the horrors of World War II. Soon after the Allied takeover of Germany, Rau was recruited as an emergency teacher, and she earned her elementary teaching certificate from the Pedagogic Institute in Kuenselsau, Germany. Rau received her M.Ed degree in special education from the University of Mississippi, Oxford, and then returned to teach in southern Germany. She later immigrated to the United States, where she entered the Ph.D. degree program at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. After completing her degree in special education, with a concentration in mental disorders, Dr. Rau also did postdoctoral studies at the University of Illinois, training as a supervisor of field experiences in special education. She also renewed her contacts with German schools and for five years assumed a leadership role in developing a mental retardation program in Stetten, Germany. Among Dr. Rau's professional accomplishments was the establishment of special education services within the Lutheran elementary school system of greater St. Louis, Missouri. She began the program for five children with special learning needs, but it expanded to offer a wide range of services to 212 children at twelve different locations. These services include pre-school screening, parent consultations, and speech and language therapy. Dr. Rau taught as a tenure-track professor at Appalachian State University from 1979 to 1992, devoting twenty-six consecutive semesters to supervising student teachers and interns in special education. Her courses focused on instructional methods for special needs and learning disabled children. Her publications and speeches focused on the employment, training, and career development of secondary school students with special learning needs. While at Appalachian State, Dr. Rau established the North Carolina Unit on Career Development for Exceptional Children. She served as faculty advisor and support person for the Appalachian Chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children and organized a study-abroad program to England, Germany, and the Netherlands for twenty special education majors. In 1990, she was recognized as Outstanding Teacher of the Reich College of Education by the Appalachian Student Government Association. Dr. Rau also helped establish a committee to internationalize the Reich College of Education. Dr. Rau received her appointment as professor emerita on March 20, 1992. Due to loss of vision, she currently resides at the Lutheran Home in Hickory, North Carolina. Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Art Margaret R. ("Peggy") Polson (March 31, 1931-), was born in Roanoke, Virginia. After graduating from Ithaca High School, Ithaca, New York, she earned her A.A. degree at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, in 1951, and her B.A. degree at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in 1954. Polson completed an M.S degree at Cornell in 1956 and went on to earn an M.EA. degree at the State University of Iowa, Iowa City, in 1961. After additional studies at Silliman University in the Philippines (1953), the California School of Fine Arts, Los Angeles, (1957), and the Instituto Allende in Mexico (1959), she earned a Ph.D. degree in 1974 from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Polson has done further study at the Vermont Studio School and at the University of Iowa. Polson began her teaching career in 1953 at Silliman University. She then taught at the Roberson Memorial Museum, Binghamton, New York, during the summer of 1955 and at Iowa State University in Ames, from 1956 to 1958. She later taught at Cornell (1962-63) and at State University College, Plattsburgh, New York (1963-66), before coming to Appalachian State University in 1971. Dr. Polson retired from Appalachian State in 1993. An accomplished artist as well as an educator, Polson has exhibited her work across the country. Exhibition sites include Erie, Pennsylvania; Ithaca, New York; Lancaster, South Carolina; the North Carolina towns and cities of Asheville, Banner Elk, Boone, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Greensboro, Spruce Pine, and Winston-Salem; Atlanta and Athens, Georgia; Johnson City, Tennessee; and Iowa City, Iowa. Dr. Polson draws, paints, carves intaglios, makes prints, and creates foil print monotypes. Polson's publications include the following articles: • "The Feminine Sensibility and Inner Space: Some Thoughts Concerning jungian Psychology in Art." The Southern Quarterly 18 (Winter 1979): 42-51. • "The Poetic Image of Landscape in a Late Work of Paul Klee."

In retirement, Polson continues to study and create art, exploring her interest in foil stamping printmaking and the "tree of life" motif. In June 1993, she studied at the University of Iowa with Virginia Myers, the inventor of the Iowa Foil Printer, and, in July, she studied at the C.G. Jung Center in New York City. Dr. Polson's former students have encouraged her pursuits and honored her by planting an ornamental cherry tree outside Wey Hall. Polson says of the living tribute and the students who have given it, "I was deeply touched by this gift and will think of them as 1 pass in and out of that building continuing my work with foil stamping in printmaking." Dr. Polson received her emerita status on March 19, 1993; and in June 2000, she moved to Deerfield, an Episcopal retirement community located near Asheville, North Carolina. Her new cottage, along with eight others, was built that winter as part of their phase two building program. Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Mathematical Sciences Mike Perry graduated from Sanford Central High School, Sanford, North Carolina, in 1958. He received a B.S. degree in mathematics (1962), a M.A.M degree in applied math (1964), and a Ph.D. degree in mathematics (1967) from North Carolina State University, Raleigh. Perry also received a M.S. degree in statistics (1980) from Texas A & M University, College Station. Perry and his wife, Sandra, recently celebrated their forty-third wedding anniversary. The Perrys have two children and two grandchildren. A daughter, Fran, is the mother of two girls; she and her family live in Charlotte, North Carolina. A son, Morgan, also lives in Charlotte. Dr. Perry's career at Appalachian State University began in 1968, and he was chair of the Department of Mathematics from 1973 through 1980. As chair, Perry was instrumental in reinventing the department, for this was the time of change from a teachers' college to a comprehensive regional university. The curriculum and degree programs were completely overhauled, and many new faculty were hired. The department was renamed the "Department of Mathematical Sciences," and a B.S. non-teaching degree (the first in the College of Arts and Sciences), with a three-option structure in mathematics, or statistics, or computer science was introduced. By the late 1970s, the computer-science option evolved into the first undergraduate-degree program in North Carolina. After several years as chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Perry was ready to devote more time to academics and professional activities. In 1981, he became involved in a natio-wide movement to introduce statistical education in grades K-12. The National Science Foundation gave him generous funding for five projects in statistical education, and most of his writings during this period dealt with issues related to the learning of statistics. He also spent two fall terms (1991 and 1997) at English universities to collaborate with persons there on several special projects. Perry's numerous articles on statistical education include the following: • "Counting Penguins." Mathematics Teacher 91:2 (1998) (with G. Kader). • "Push-Penny: Are You a Random Player?" Teaching Statistics 21 (1999). • "The Coefficient of Unalikability." Teaching Statistics 27 (2005) (With G. Kader). • "Going MAD in Degrees of Unfairness!" Teaching Statistics 27 (2005). Dr. Perry retired from his full-time position in 2002, but continues to teach two classes at Appalachian State each fall semester. He is currently working on a book entitled Learning Statistics. In the additional time he has had since his retirement, Perry has enjoyed playing tennis and golf; he also enjoys hiking and playing with his two granddaughters. In the winter and early spring he disappears, along with his wife, laptop, and golf clubs, to his house on the coast of South Carolina.
