Owen came to Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) in 1962 as an associate professor in the Department of Industrial Arts. Owen was appointed to the graduate faculty in 1964 and was promoted to professor in 1973. He received the Trustees' Award for Outstanding Teaching in 1971 in recognition of his contributions to the university. While at Appalachian State, Owen served on the Graduate Council and the Faculty Welfare Committee. He was president of the South Texas Industrial Arts Association and a life member of the Texas Industrial Arts Association and of the American Industrial Arts Association. He was also a member of Epsilon Pi Tau, the Harlingen Teachers Association, the Texas State Teachers Association, and the North Carolina Industrial Arts Association. Owen retired from his position at Appalachian State University in 1982 and was granted emeritus status by the Board of Trustees the same year. After his retirement, Owen set up a ceramics business in Harlingen, Texas, and has four shows each year. He also takes an annual trip to Mexico and has traveled to East Africa and Australia. While in Boone, he ran the Beech Mountain Ski Patrol for eleven years, and the "old gang" has a reunion every two years in Aspen, Colorado. Finally, in his spare time, "Slim" rides a bicycle twenty miles a day, three or four days a week-about three thousand miles per year. To celebrate his seventy-second birthday, he rode 102.1 miles to Kingsville, Texas. Ask him why he did it, and he will tell you, "Just to see if I still could." In 2003 he rode 4,044 miles and retired his old bicycle with 39,000 miles on it. Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Dr. Richard D.

After receiving M.M.Ed, and Ed.D. degrees from North Texas State University, he joined the Appalachian State University faculty. Prior to his 1967 appointment, Newton had been a bandsman in the United States Army in Europe, an instrumental music teacher in the Arkansas and Texas public schools, and a music store salesman/instrument technician in Arkansas. Dr. Newton introduced the music industry studies degree concept-the first four-year degree to focus on the music products industry-at Appalachian State in 1972. In 1978 he presented a proposal to the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) for a NAMM affiliate organization comprised of colleges offering four-year degrees in music products marketing. Some of the industry/campus reciprocal activities outlined in that proposal were inaugurated in 1981. Chief among these was an industry-wide job-placement service which brought college graduates and music merchants together on a national basis. The success of the placement service and other industry/campus projects led to recognition by NAMM in 1986 of the NAMM Affiliated Music Business Institutions (NAMBI). Newton served as founding president of NAMBI. The purpose of the organization is to provide for structured reciprocal services between the campus programs and the music merchants who are the membership of NAMM. Dr. Newton retired in 1993 and was awarded the rank of professor emeritus at that time. He has published a textbook entitled Reed Instrument and Flute: A Handbook for Mom, Dad, Students and Teachers. He and his wife Pat, live in Hampstead, North Carolina, ten minutes from the nearest fishing pier. Sources: Appalachian State University files. -Dr. Richard D.

Neale's first post-college position was as an assistant young-adult program director with the YWCA of St. Louis, Missouri; the next was an assistant director of the student YWCA of the University of Colorado. After their marriage, the Neales moved to Salt Lake City for Russell's doctoral study in psychology. During that general period, Nancy held such positions as assistant director of the Salt Lake City Jewish Community Center, preschool teacher and consultant, director of volunteers for the Salt Lake City Project Head Start in its early days, and associate executive director of the Salt Lake City YWCA. In addition, she taught graduate courses for the University of Utah's Graduate School of Social Work, was a consultant to several private urban nonprofit organizations, and did volunteer work in several other organizations. In the late 1960s, she organized in the state of Utah a group of women called "Women in Social Work" to try to improve the working situation for women professionals and aides in public and private employment across the state, especially in Salt Lake City. Neale's master's thesis (co-authored) was "Evaluation of Emergency Room Services in a Teaching Hospital" (1970), and her dissertation title was "Women's Studies in Social Work Education: The Impact of a Social Movement on Curriculum" (1977). The Neales moved to Boone, North Carolina, in January 1978, and Nancy Neale was employed for seven months as a social work consultant for the New River Mental Health Center, with her consulting services extending across five counties. In April 1978, at the request of the Mental Health Center's director, Dr. Neale began designing and organizing a facility for battered and abused women, which became known as OASIS, Inc. In August 1978, Dr. Neale joined the faculty of the Department of Sociology at Appalachian State University where she taught courses, supervised field work, and served on the Faculty Senate (chair, 1981-82). In the fall of 1981, Dr. Neale was asked by the chair of the department, Dr. A.M. Denton, to begin planning and designing an accreditable undergraduate social work program for the department. This beginning work, which was done while Neale was teaching full-time and engaging in campus and community service, took five years to move through administrative channels. The plan for a social work program was approved by the North Carolina Board of Governors early in 1980 and Dr. Neale was designated as the program director. She served ten years in that capacity. During this time, three additional social work faculty positions were added, and the number of social work majors grew to approximately 170, and rising, when Neale resigned and retired from the university. Appalachian State University has since created the Nancy Kester Neale Scholarship in Social Work, which has an annual recipient. After the inception of the social work program, the departmental name was changed in 1986 to reflect the expansion, and it became known as the Department of Sociology and Social Work. Dr. Neale regularly taught three social work courses: Professional Social Work in Contemporary Society, the American Social Welfare System, and Human Behavior in the Social Environment. One of her publications was a requested chapter, "Private Practice," in the Handbook of Clinical Social Work (1983, Jossey-Bass). From 1989 to 1991, after serving previously in other capacities, Dr. Neale chaired the North Carolina chapter of the National Association of Social Workers, Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1998, she served as chair of the High Country United Way after many years as a board member and a committee chair. At the end of 1998, Neale received the "Tom Adams Service Award." Other community organizations for which she volunteered include OASIS, Inc. (mostly as a board member and trainer), the Hunger Coalition, Hospice of the Boone Area, and the Blue Ridge Dispute Settlement Center. Dr. Neale also had a small part-time private clinical practice in Utah and in Boone. Neale had many plans for retirement, some of which still await her attention. She and her husband moved to the Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community in South Asheville in 2001, and although her husband passed away earlier this year, she continues to live there today.

Moy attended Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire for one year on a scholarship in a pre-engineering program. He worked full-time for three years and was drafted into the Army in the fall of 1958, serving two years as an operating-room assistant. Moy returned to Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire in 1960 to begin a major in political science and he finished his B.S. degree in 1963. He then attended the Ohio State University, earning an M.A. degree and a Ph.D. degree in political science. While at Ohio State, Moy was a teaching assistant for three years. He was an assistant professor at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, for two years before joining the Department of Political Science at Appalachian State University in 1970. After serving as an assistant professor from 1970 through 1974, Moy was promoted to associate professor in 1974 and full professor in 1978. During his academic career, Dr. Moy strove to vary his students' learning experiences in attempts to improve the classroom learning environment. He was responsible for developing study guides for American government students and believed in the use of structured discussion sessions to enable all students to participate. Moy also administered comparative evaluation instruments to determine which instructing techniques worked best in the classroom, and he presented the results of this research at the Southern Political Science Association convention in 1977. During thirty years of teaching experience, he had occasion to prepare numerous courses, including those on comparative politics, parliamentary democracies, international politics, governments and politics of western Europe, government and politics of the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, politics of Africa south of the Sahara, and politics of Latin America. Among the seminars Moy conducted were ones on comparative politics, on political stability and violence, and on ethnic conflict and political development. In 1977, Moy obtained a grant from Appalachian State's Center for Instructional Development (CID) to aid in building a computer program for a modified INS simulation game he had developed. He also received grants from CID in 1979 and 1981 for revision of the American Government individualized instruction package. His teaching efforts were recognized in 1990 and 1998 when he was nominated for the Outstanding Teacher Award. He was also honored as an Outstanding Educator of America. Dr. Moy was active in several university organizations, serving as faculty senator on the Faculty Welfare and Morale Committee, on the Academic Policy Committee, and on the Budget Committee (chair). He was the Graduate Faculty Recorder in 1973, was a member of the Arts and Sciences Committee "Project Lodestar" on instructional development (1983-84), and was a member of the Arts and Sciences Baccalaureate Task Force. Moy was also responsible for organizing symposiums on Middle East politics (1980), South African politics (1981), and on Israel and Lebanon (1982). Additionally, he organized lectures by visiting United Nations officials from 1985 to 1989, and by other speakers from 1990 through 1997. Moy's student-service activities included acting as advisor to the Political Science Association; to the International Relations Association, an organization which developed from a local interest group into a nationally active organization, with a university budget of over $2000; and to Pi Sigma Alpha, National Political Science Honor Society. In addition, Moy organized high school Model United Nations conferences from 1971 to 1997 and college Model United Nations conferences from 1982 to 1997. Moy provided further consultation services on Model United Nations Simulation to area junior and senior high school teachers and their students from 1971 to 1998. Dr. Moy also delivered talks and led discussion sessions for community organizations in Boone, North Carolina, and area cities, including annual presentations on international politics for the "Great Decisions" program. Professor Moy's research efforts include numerous projects and presentations, and his professional alliances include memberships in the American Political Science Association, the North Carolina Political Science Association, the International Studies Association (vice president of ISA/SW 1993-95, program chair 1995-97, and president 1997-99), the United Nations Association-USA, and the Society for International Development. Moy also served as president-elect and president of the Appalachian chapters of AAUP and NCAE. He was selected to serve a two-year term (1976-78) on the executive committee of the North Carolina Conference of the AAUP; he was president-elect in 1979 and became president in 1980. Over the years, Dr. Moy maintained a family interest in music. His parents and siblings all played instruments and sang in solo and group performances. Moy has been in several barbershop quartets, including the Mountainaires, a group made up of Appalachian State faculty (all now retired) that has been actively entertaining for twenty-five years. He continues to play trombone and sing with local bands, playing big band and dixieland tunes. For the past twenty-three years, Moy has organized a barbershop quartet show in Boone and for twenty-five years has been a member of the Winston-Salem barber-shop group. He has been active since 1972 in the International Barbershop Harmony Society, a nonprofit educational organization which also provides assistance in speech therapy among its service projects. Moy also served as a faculty advisor to newly organized barbershop singing clubs at Appalachian State in 1998. In addition to his academic and musical pursuits, Dr. Moy has maintained a participatory interest in athletic and sports activities. These have included tennis, basketball, distance running, and automobile racing. Moy can still be found playing full court basketball with the noon faculty group on campus. He has, for now, suspended racing his classic car across the Nevada desert at 180-mile-per-hour speeds. He finds that working on the car is not unlike the maintenance he used to do on farm machinery. Since 1992, Moy has been a member of the Watauga County Arts Council and has assisted in the planning of special events. These have included the Christmas tour of homes, an international festival for area school students, and a capella festival for high school and college students in western North Carolina. Since 1997, Moy has organized the summer High Country Jubilee Chorus for community singers of all ages. Since her retirement, Mrs. Moy has been active with the Appalachian Cultural Museum and tutoring students. The Moys both enjoy traveling in their motor home and now spend winter months in warmer climates. Sources: Appalachian State University files and long association. -Dr. Richard D.

He is married to Barbara McDaniel and they have three children: Sara Jean (July 24, 1956-), Sharon Ruth (December 1, 1958-), and Charles Robert (September 9, 1963-). McDaniel attended Florida State University in Tallahassee, where he received a B.S. degree (1954) and an M.S. degree (1957) in physical education. He earned his Ph.D. degree in driver and traffic safety from Michigan State University, East Lansing, in 1970. McDaniel taught and coached in the Florida public schools for six years prior to becoming curriculum supervisor for driver education and physical education in Brevard County (1962-66). He held instructor positions at the University of Alabama, Memphis State University, and Michigan State University, and, in 1967, he became director of the Washington Traffic Education Project. McDaniel then served as an instructor at San Diego State College, San Diego, California. In 1971, Dr. McDaniel came to Appalachian State University as associate professor in the Department of Health and Physical Education, and director of the program in safety and driver education. The program soon evolved into the creation of the Center for Safety and Driver Education. McDaniel was promoted to professor in 1977. During his tenure, McDaniel helped develop a driver education teacher certificate program. This program included a student teaching component or internship in teaching driver education for teachers in other subject areas. In addition, under McDaniel's direction, an undergraduate major and master's program in driver and safety education were created. He developed a basic-level emergency medical technician training program in cooperation with the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services. He also helped coordinate a motorcycle rider training program, a school safety curriculum, a driver vehicle energy conservation program, a pupil transportation manual for school administrations, a driver education program for educable mentally disadvantaged students, and an advanced driving maneuvers training program. Additionally, McDaniel aided in the development of an emergency vehicle operator course for ambulance drivers, as well as a training program in which drivers and/or instructors in Georgia, Kansas, Florida, Tennessee, and California participated. Moreover, he helped develop a chauffeur anti-terrorist driver training program, making Appalachian State the only university in the United States to develop and conduct this type of program. The chauffeurs for the Nelson and David Rockefeller families, the Marine Midland Bank of New York City, the Canadian Pipeline Company, and a number of diplomatic embassies, were trained in this program. Dr. McDaniel directed school bus workshops for supervisors, driver education teachers, and school administrators who had responsibility for pupil transportation. In recognition of his skill and field expertise, he also was selected for membership in the Technical Coordinating Committee of the Institute for Transportation Research and Education, and he served as president of the American Driver and Safety Education Association. His consultative experiences included working with driver education programs in the state and beyond. McDaniel was highly regarded as an expert in driver and safety education throughout the country. His accomplishments and leadership roles in professional organizations, such as his election to the board of directors of the National Safety Council, added significantly to the prestige of the Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science and the university. His research efforts led to the publication of several articles, including: • "What Road Tomorrow?" Safety (November-December 1966). • "The Madison Project-A Model Program in Driver Education." California Journal of Traffic Safety Education (June 1970). McDaniel retired from the Appalachian State in 1994, and in 1995, he was approved as professor emeritus by the Board of Trustees. After retirement, Dr. McDaniel continued to supervise the training of high school driver education students in the North Carolina counties of Wake and Guilford, and in the High Point, North Carolina schools. He also worked with industry and other governmental agencies in driver-improvement programs. Sources: Appalachian State University files. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emeritus of Management George Edward Lyne, Jr. (October 31, 1926-) was born in Greenville, South Carolina. He is the oldest of two sons of Minna Turpin (1903-1993) and George Edward Lyne, Sr. (1900-1975). Minna, a lifelong resident of Greenville, South Carolina, was descended from early Charlestown Landing (1670) settlers. George Sr. was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, where his English ancestors had settled in 1835. He was transferred from Fall River to Greenville, South Carolina, when his employer, a textile engineering consulting firm, expanded services to the South. Lyne married the former Eleanor Frances Kiplinger in 1958. They have two children, Jeffrey Matthews and Kathryn Lyne Masters. After graduating from Greenville High School in June 1944, Lyne enlisted in the United States Navy and was selected for the V-12 Officer Training Program. He studied at the University of South Carolina and Howard College (now Samford University) during 1944-45, while on active duty. After World War II ended, Lyne began work on a degree in industrial management at the University of North Carolina and completed that degree in 1948. Lyne spent seven years as an industrial engineer in the textile industry and five years as a management consultant with the firm Booz Allen and Hamilton in New York before devoting a year to educational travel in Europe and the Middle East. Upon his return in 1955, he held several management positions in pursuing opportunities to become re-established in North Carolina. In 1969, Lyne entered graduate school at the University of North Carolina, and received his Ph.D. in organization behavior in 1973. Dr. Lyne then joined the Department of Management faculty of the Walker College of Business at Appalachian State University and in 1974 was made director of the Center for Management Development. He also coordinated implementation of a MBA degree program at Winston-Salem State University and taught in that program. A number of administrative positions were held by Lyne during his twenty-three years at Appalachian State. He was acting chair of the Department of Management for three years and permanent chair from 1992 until his retirement in 1996. After their children were grown, Lyne and his wife made trips within the United States and to Europe before settling in to develop their twenty acres in Foscoe, North Carolina. Planting trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass around the home they designed and built on their property has become a major occupation for the couple. Lyne also enjoys reading, woodworking, and researching his family's history-interests which his wife shares. Sources: Personal correspondence and long association. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Art Noyes Capehart Long (December I3, 1933-) was born in Nashville, Tennessee. He received a B.F.A. degree from Auburn University in 1958 and an M.A. degree in art from the University of Missouri in 1963. Before joining the faculty at Appalachian State University, Long was an instructor of art at Auburn University (1961-62) and at the University of Missouri (1963-67). He held the position of assistant professor at the University of Mississippi, where he also was a member of the graduate faculty from 1967 to 1969. As an artist, Long participated in many invitational and one-man art exhibitions. His work was entered in regional and national competitive exhibitions, winning numerous awards, including the first award in painting at the Nashville Arts Festival (1958), the first award in graphics at the Fourth National Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Jackson, Mississippi (1968), and the first award in prints at the North Carolina Artist's Exhibition in Raleigh, North Carolina (1971). His work was also selected for inclusion in several circulating exhibitions, and Long's prints were reproduced in Motivo magazine in November and December of 1967. Long came to Appalachian State in 1969 as an assistant professor in the Department of Art. He rose to associate professor in 1972 and received tenure in 1973. He was appointed to the rank of professor in 1976, at which time he also became acting chair of the Department of Art. He served as department chair until 1979, as assistant dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts from 1981 to 1987, and as acting dean of the college from 1987 to 1989. At Appalachian State, Long continued his artistic endeavors, and, in 1981, he was invited to include one of his paintings in the National Collection of Fine Arts Exhibition, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute. His artwork has also been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York City; the Whitney Museum of America Art, New York City; the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, North Carolina; and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. His professional activities included jurying regional and state arts festivals and scholarship awards competitions. In 1995, Long was the subject of an article, "Noyes Capehart Long: Art Emerging from Real Experiences," in which he reflects on the totality of his art career: "I make art because I love making art, because I'm not complete without this involvement. I want my students to know this, for nothing else I can say to them may be more important to their long-term chances of becoming . . . complete artist[s]." During his tenure, Long served the university through membership in a variety of committees, including the University Foreign Study Council, the College of Fine and Applied Arts Readmission Committee, the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee, the Athletics Council, the Art Museum Steering Committee, the International Studies Council, and the Teacher Education Council. He also served as an orientation advisor. Long is married to Suzanne Connor, and they have six children. He retired from Appalachian in 1996, but continued to teach part-time in the Department of Art. Long was awarded emeritus status by the Board of Trustees in 1997.

The 1949 and 1950 teams had only one loss each, while winning thirty-seven straight matches in the individual years; Light's own record was 50-1. Light earned his B.S. degree in physical education and social studies from Washington University of St. Louis in 1950 and earned his M.S. degree from the university in 1957. Light began his career as a teacher and coach at Pacific High School, Pacific, Missouri, during the 1950-51 academic year. He was head coach of the softball, basketball, track and field, and baseball teams; each had winning records that year. Light's basketball team won seventeen games, and his track and field team captured the county tournament. After a two-year stint as a salesman in the St. Louis area, Light went back to Washington University of St. Louis in 1953 as assistant basketball coach, assistant tennis coach, freshman basketball coach, and physical education teacher. He coached the freshman basketball team to a 56-16 record during his four years there. Light's basketball playing and coaching at the university were under Blair Gullion, nationally known coach who was voted into the Basketball Hall of Fame at that time. Light joined the faculty and coaching staff at Appalachian State University in the summer of 1957 as an assistant professor and head basketball coach. During his fifteen years (1957-72), as basketball coach, his teams won 221 games (the most wins by an Appalachian State basketball coach). Under coaches Jim Jones and Bob Light, the Appalachian State University tennis program had twenty-eight consecutive winning seasons. Twelve Appalachian players made the All-Southern Conference team. Light was a leader in statewide tennis tournaments and activities throughout his career at Appalachian State. He spoke at many basketball and tennis clinics and camps. He co-founded the Mountaineer Open tennis tournament in 1963 and was the director or co-director of the event until 1983. This tournament was a solid success in Southern tennis circles for more than twenty years, with many tennis greats such as Allen Morris, Norman Chambers, Keith Richardson, and John Lucas played in it. Light also formed the Boone junior team in 1963, and, under his coaching, the team won the league championship in 1969. As these young men entered Watauga High School, their school team won the conference on a consistent basis. One of the youngsters, Mike Owen, won a North Carolina Junior Championship, and another, Coach Light's son, Bobby, gained a junior varsity ranking at number two in the state. Fifteen of the young players on the junior team gained state rankings in tennis competitions, and twelve went on to participate on college tennis teams. In addition to founding and coaching the junior team for ten years, Light established the North Carolina Tennis League, consisting of Boone, Hickory, Elkin, Statesville, and Shelby. The Charlotte, Asheville, and Morganton Old Providence clubs joined later. In 1970, Light received an award from the North Carolina Tennis Association for outstanding contributions to tennis. From 1966 to 1972, Light served on the board of the North Carolina Tennis Association (NCTA); during 1967-68, he served as vice president of NCTA, and, from 1969 to 1970, he served as president of the association. In 1973, he co-founded the North Carolina Association of Tennis Professionals (NCATP), and from 1974 to 1976, he was the ranking chair of the Junior 14 and under. In 1975, he was the president of NCATP. Light also served for many years as the secretary of the Southern Conference tennis coaches. He was a member of the conference's tennis committee and of the NCAA committee to select teams and individuals for the NCAA tournament. Light also continued his own tennis playing during this time. In 1965 and 1967, he won the Western North Carolina League singles championship and also was a four-time winner of the doubles championship in the league. In 1967, he joined with Norman Chambers to win the North Carolina state doubles championship, and, in 1972, he and Buck Archer won the North Carolina senior doubles championship. In 1997, Light and Archer again won the North Carolina state senior doubles championship for seventy-and-over players. Light was inducted into Appalachian's Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991, was elected to the Washington University of St. Louis Hall of Fame in 1997, and was inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 1997. In 1998 and 1999, Light served as president of the North Carolina Association of Tennis Professionals. From 1972 to 1975, Light served as the tennis director of the Adam's Apple Racquet Club during the summers and also acted as tennis director of the Hound Ears Club in the summers from 1975 to 2003. Light has shown his creative and scholarly ability by co-authoring Textbook Tennis. He also wrote and acted in an eight-part videotape for educational television entitled Bob Light on Tennis, a companion to the textbook. Light married the former Patricia Parker (June 3, 1933-) of Jerseyville, Illinois, on June 15, 1957. Patricia Parker Light is the daughter of Clorene Bright Thomas and William Lee Parker. Mrs. Light graduated from the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis in 1956 as a registered nurse and she retired from the Mary S. Shook Medical Center of Appalachian State University after eighteen years of service. The Lights have four sons. Robert (Bobby) George, Jr. (May 4, 1958-), graduated from Appalachian State in 1981 and is a tennis professional in Atlanta, Georgia. Bobby has won several state championships in doubles in South Carolina and Georgia. He made All-Southern Conference at Appalachian in tennis in 1979 and 1980. Thomas (Tommy) Claison (May 27, I960-) also attended Appalachian State. He has his own cosmetology business in Boone. The Lights' twin sons are Walter (Wally) and William (Willy) (November 1, 1961-). Wally and his wife, Shirley, reside in Boone, where Wally is a paint contractor. Shirley has two children, Jake and Jade Marphonios, from a previous marriage. Wally and Shirley have a son, Logan (October 26, 1991-), who is a joy to Bob and Pat. Willy works for American Airlines in Atlanta, Georgia. The Lights are members of the First Presbyterian Church of Boone, where Light has served as a deacon. He is also a former member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Coach Light retired in the spring of 1988 and was granted emeritus status in March 1989. The 1994 edition (4th) of The Appalachian Faculty Emeriti was dedicated to him.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of History Ruby Jeanne Lanier (October 30, 1934-) was born in Hickory, North Carolina. She attended Lenoir-Rhyne College from 1952 to 1955, receiving an A.B. degree in elementary education. In 1959, she received an M.A. degree in elementary education from Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) and, in 1971, an Ed.D. degree from Duke University. Lanier taught elementary school for four years in Hickory and at Appalachian's Laboratory School for seven years after receiving her master's degree. She served as an assistant professor at the College of Charleston from 1971 to 1974, teaching social studies, language arts, reading methods, and children's literature. Lanier initiated and supervised a summer enrichment program for inner-city children and developed educational materials for the Upward Bound and Neighborhood Youth Corps programs. Dr. Lanier joined the faculty at Appalachian State University in 1974 to teach North Carolina social studies. In 1977, participating in the history and elementary education departments' joint-appointee program, she taught a course in language arts and another in children's literature. From 1975 until retirement, Lanier taught courses in state and local history and North Carolina history, and, from 1980 to 1994, she also taught a course in world civilization. In addition to her outstanding teaching, service, and research efforts, one of Lanier's most remarkable contributions was the planning and directing, along with Beulah Campbell, professor of children's literature at Appalachian State, of workshops, conferences, and study tours. In 1976, they planned and directed a highly successful summer workshop and tour for elementary and secondary school teachers and librarians on the American heritage in children's literature, which was called "one of the most valuable projects sponsored by Appalachian State during the bicentennial year." Lanier and Campbell also planned and directed for teachers and librarians summer-study tours of children's literature and history in the British Isles (1977), in Scandinavia (with professor of community planning and geography Ole Gade, 1979), and in New England (1982), where they met authors and illustrators of award-winning children's books. They planned and directed a number of workshops and conferences, including the Intercultural Language Arts Festival in 1977; the 1979 International Children's Literature Festival, funded by the North Carolina Endowment for the Humanities; and, in 1983, a conference, "Understanding the Black Experience in Children's Literature." Over the years, Dr. Lanier conducted a number of workshops for teachers, historical societies, and other groups on teaching and writing state and local history. One of the most important projects in which she was involved was funded by the North Carolina Humanities Committee: "State and Local History in Public Schools." Lanier, George Antone, chair of the history department; and Natalie Taylor of the North Carolina Museum of History co-directed a series of regional workshops across the state that brought together academic historians, public school teachers, local historical societies, and representatives of the North Carolina Division of Social Studies in an attempt to improve and enliven the teaching of state and local history.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of History Winston Lee Kinsey, a native of the ranching area of the Texas Hill Country, was born in Lampasas, Texas, in March 1943. Both sides of Dr. Kinsey's family reflected the rural heritage and westward movement in the United States in the nineteenth century. Two of his paternal ancestors, Catherine Greer and Jackson Smith, came from the Appalachian region and arrived in Texas about 1860. Dr. Kinsey remembers his grandparents with great fondness, one great-grandmother being born in Texas in 1869, soon after the Civil War. Orphaned as a small child and receiving only about a year of classroom education, she was taught by her grandchildren to read and write when she was around sixty-five years old. She died in 1968, therefore living from the Civil War Reconstruction through the Vietnam War and the maturing of the U. S. space program. Dr. Kinsey's mother, Loretta Jernigan Kinsey, and his father, Lee Roy Kinsey, who married for sixty years, were deeply affected by the Great Depression (with the loss of family farms). Dr. Kinsey's youth was primarily spent on ranches and farms. The family was able to buy a 228-acre farm located in the Black Waxy Prairies of Central Texas, in a community of German-, Czech-, and English-descent farmers. The drought years, 1954-1957, were challenging, although Dr. Kinsey loved farm work, including tending sheep and cattle, hoeing, and pulling cotton and corn by hand. Since he started plowing at the age of ten, plowing most of the home farm, plus much land for neighbors, he likes to say that he was reared on a tractor. He also worked on a grain "threshing" crew (with wagons pulled by mules). Most of Dr. Kinsey's early education was in a small rural public school at Salado, Texas, where he graduated in 1961 in a class of fifteen students. He received a full scholarship to study agriculture at Texas A&M, but for some reason he declined and entered a nearby women's college, the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, where he majored in history and English and had minors in education and religion. Transferring to Baylor University in 1963, he followed the same program of study and graduated with a B. A. degree in 1964. Dr. Kinsey married, in 1964, Barbara Bone, who had also attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and Baylor University. After teaching in the Texas City public schools from 1965 to 1966, Kinsey entered the Ph.D. program in history at Texas Tech University, choosing this university because it was the only one offering a field in African History. In 1969, at age twenty-six, he completed his Ph.D. studies and took a position at Appalachian State University, teaching History of World Civilizations. His first chair was Dr. Roy Carroll, who also came to the university in 1969, and Dr. Kinsey regards him as a wonderful chair and mentor. In the academic year 1970-1971, Dr. Kinsey began teaching two courses in African History at Appalachian State and continued to do so for the next thirty-two years. In this endeavor, he and the university were pioneers. Although Dr. Kinsey's overseas travels were somewhat limited, he attended the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana for the summer of 1973; later, in 1994, he was able to spend a month in the southern African Republic of Botswana (where he helped develop experimental gardens, using modified hydroponics, and working with village women and a missionary who was also chair of a department in the College of Agriculture at the University of Botswana). Dr. Kinsey's concern for teaching non-Western history led him, in the summer of 1974, to a special institute at Davidson College (sponsored by Duke University and the State Department of Public Instruction) to study the teaching of Africa and Asia in public schools, colleges, and universities. For many years he was Appalachian State's institutional representative to the South Atlantic States Association for Asian and African Studies (and chair for the Educational Visual Resources Committee) and was active in the Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies. He served as president of the North Carolina Association of Africanists for a year, arranging a conference that met at North Carolina A & T University. He also wanted to include knowledge of Appalachian history as much as possible and served as Appalachian State's institutional representative to the Appalachian Consortium for several years, and, in the 1980s and 1990s, as vice president and president of the Watauga County Historical Society. During almost all of his thirty-five-year career at Appalachian State, Dr. Kinsey was heavily involved in service for the students, his department, the college, and the university. He was a member (and chair for many years) of the Department Advisement Committee from the early 1970s through his official retirement in 2002. As assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1977 through 1981, his major task was to oversee student records and advisement for the college. He was involved in the founding of a more professional Orientation Program for undergraduates and served as a faculty leader in orientation for freshmen and transfers for the college and university (and usually also for those planning to be history majors). He was the founding president of Appalachian State's chapter of Phi Kappa Phi Interdisciplinary Honor Society, and he served on the Department of History's Personnel Committee many times. Dr. Kinsey was inducted in 1999 into the Academy of Outstanding Teachers in the College of Arts and Sciences. After fully retiring in 2004, he was now willing to perform public service in another way. He ran for office as a Watauga County commissioner from the eastern (fifth) district and was elected in November 2004. He has been active as a commissioner in building a new Watauga County High School on a new campus. He is currently serving as the commissioner to oversee the development of a new county plan. In his spare time, Dr. Kinsey still raises sheep on his farm in Stony Fork, where he and Barbara have lived since 1974. He reads widely in soil science; in the history of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; in alternative energy (such as wind, solar, and hydrogen) in a post-oil age; in the history of the collapse of societies and civilizations; in the war in Iraq; and in historical novels. Dr. Kinsey and Barbara had three children: Tricia, Robyn, and Scott. Regrettably, Scott was born with multiple congenital heart defects, resulting in six heart surgeries. He, however, led a full and active life until his death in 1991 at age thirteen. The daughters of Dr. and Mrs. Kinsey live in North Carolina. Tricia has a master's degree from Duke and works as a nurse practitioner in pediatrics in Caldwell County. Robyn majored in journalism at UNC-Chapel Hill and has served for about fifteen years as a television news producer and freelance producer of educational and charitable videos. Both daughters have two children, who help bring the Kinsey farm to life on a regular basis. Dr. Kinsey and Barbara recently celebrated their forty-fourth wedding anniversary and hope for many more.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Social Work Larry Gene Keeter (March 31, 1938-) was born in Spindale, North Carolina, a planned mill village town founded in 1916 by the Spencer Tanner textile family. He was the oldest of three children of Lola Crotts (1909-1987) and William Eugene Keeter (1909-1973). His brother is William Claude Keeter (1942-) and his sister is Lola Kay Collins (1946-), both of whom still reside in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Keeter graduated from Rutherfordton-Spindale Central High School in 1956. He earned his B.A. degree in philosophy and psychology from Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, in 1960. He studied philosophy at Columbia University in New York on a National Woodrow Wilson Fellowship (1960-1963). Keeter earned his M.Div. degree (1965) and his Th.M. degree (1966) from Harvard University Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts. While at Harvard, he also served as the university's Baptist chaplain. In 1971, he received a Ph.D. degree in sociology from Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Keeter married his high school sweetheart, Ann Elizabeth Woodall, on June 6, 1964, in Gastonia, North Carolina, in a ceremony officiated by Ann's father, the Reverend Wilbur Festus Woodall. Ann is the middle one of three children born to Reverend Wilbur (1905-1978) and Mary Susan Fuller Woodall (1907-1997). She was an instructor at Caldwell Community College, in the GED program, for over twenty years. The Keeters have two children. A daughter, Laura Elizabeth, attended Meredith College, in Raleigh, North Carolina, and earned her B.A. degree in English from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and her M.D. degree from the University of North Carolina Medical School-Chapel Hill. She is a medical doctor in Seattle, WA. A son, William Kyle (February 25, 1969-) studied art at the Ringing School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, and at the Parsons School of Art and Design in New York. He earned his B.F.A. degree in studio art from Appalachian State University. Kyle is an artist and an instructor at Caldwell Community College, Watauga Division, in Boone, North Carolina. Dr. Keeter began his career as both a college professor and a pastor. From 1967 to 1970, he taught in the Department of Sociology at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, and served as the pastor of the Second Congregational Church (United Church of Christ) in Winchester, Massachusetts. He began teaching in the departments of sociology and religion at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina, in 1970. In 1971, Keeter accepted an appointment as an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Appalachian State University. He was appointed associate professor in 1975, received tenure in 1976, and became a full professor in 1979. As a professor, Keeter sought to maintain a reasonable and acceptable balance of teaching, scholarly activities, and professional service. He supervised undergraduate and graduate students in independent studies, worked with undergraduate and graduate research assistants, and administered graduate comprehensive examinations. Dr. Keeter continued to update his courses with new subject matter and pedagogy of the discipline of sociology. He enhanced the learning experiences of his classes with annual field trips to Appalachian State's off-campus sites in New York, New York (1974-), Washington, District of Columbia, (1978-), urban sites in Atlanta, Georgia (the Martin Luther King Center and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center, 1974-), and Memphis, Tennessee (the National Civil Rights Museum and Graceland, 1994-). He has been one of the strongest faculty users of Appalachian State's off-campus sites. He has taught entire courses on-site at the New York Loft (1992, 1995, 1998, 2000, 2001), in the International Studies Program in Europe (1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001), and in the Elderhostel Program at Appalachian State (1981-1997). Keeter was the first faculty member to participate in an official Appalachian faculty exchange, which was held with the Social Science Department, University College, Dublin, Ireland (1980). During his years at Appalachian State, Dr. Keeter served on numerous committees in the department, the university, and the community, as well as in the region and the state. His professional service included serving on the Executive Board of the North Carolina Sociological Association, completing a term as president of the North Carolina Sociological Association, and serving on the Program Committee of the Southern Sociological Society. Keeter's university and community service included six years on the faculty senate; nine years as a founding delegate of the University of North Carolina faculty assembly; and eight years in Boone town government, with two terms as mayor of the Town of Boone, the first Appalachian State professor to serve. As a town council member and mayor, he was instrumental, along with others, in establishing the town manager system and the office of town planner, the zoning and sign ordinances, the comprehensive town plan, annexation, ABC control, the "Mayor's Report" on local media, and the town council meetings on cablevision. Keeter's scholarly activities include the submission of grant and book proposals, active involvement in presentations and organizing sections at professional meetings, and the funding and development of professional and instructional videos about sociological theory. He also researched the works of Max Weber and his historic visit to the United States in 1904 to address the International Scholarly Congress at the World's Fair and Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Keeter collaborated with Dr. Stephen Hall to develop the instructional video/DVD "Max Weber Visits America," featuring eyewitness interviews about Weber's 1904 visit with relatives in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Dr. Keeter's scholarly activities also include the publication of a number of books and articles in his areas of specialization, some of which follow: • "Faculty Religiosity," with Dean Hoge, Journal For the Scientific Study of Religion (1977). • "Max Weber's Visit to North Carolina." The Journal of the History of Sociology 3:2 (1981). • "Minority Students at Risk: An Interview with Professor Shirley Chisholm." Journal of Developmental Education 10:3 (January 1987). • "Max Meets Mayberry," Sociation 21:2 (May 1995). • "Elvis Is in the Building," with Kyle Keeter. Elvis International Forum. (Summer Issue 2000). • "Elvis Art," with Kyle Keeter. Elvis International Forum (January issue 2005). Keeter has been the recipient of Outstanding Teaching Awards from the University Trustees (1977), the College of Arts and Sciences (1987), the Alumni Association (1991), and the Student Government Association (2003). His other awards and honors include the NASA Faculty Fellowship, Langley Research Center, Norfolk, Virginia (1974), and the National Endowment for the Humanities Faculty Fellowship at the University of California at Berkeley (1975). He was selected as the commencement speaker at Appalachian State's graduation ceremony in May 1978, the first Appalachian State faculty member to be so honored. After serving as a professor of sociology for thirty-three years, Dr. Keeter entered the phased retirement program June 30, 2001, and was given emeritus status from the Board of Trustees in June 2004. He still teaches occasionally as an adjunct professor at Appalachian State. Dr. Keeter's avocational interests include travel, reading, the cinema, mass media, and the dramatic arts. He is an avid consumer of popular culture, one of his continuing areas of teaching, research, and enjoyment. Mrs. Keeter enjoys reading, substitute teaching at Caldwell Community College, and supporting the local NAMI chapter and the Watauga County Literacy Program. While some of her former GED students fondly call her "Miz Ann," a diminishing number of Boone folks refer to her husband as "Mayor." Dr Keeter says of his wife, "She is the best thing about me."
