His work at High Point University also included serving as counselor for men both years and tennis coach, which resulted in two North State Conference tennis championships. Jones then moved to Boone, North Carolina, where he taught accounting and taxation at Appalachian State University for the next thirty-six years. While at Appalachian State, Jones earned promotions from instructor to assistant, associate, and full professor. He did not limit his university service to the classroom; he also was a varsity tennis coach (1956-74), sports information director (1957-66), business manager and accountant of athletics (1960-74), assistant, associate, and director of athletics (196972, 1972-74, 1974-80), coordinator of graduate studies and internships in accounting (1982-94), coordinator of the Appalachian study-abroad program in England (1990), and internship coordinator (1981-93).

Jones's professional organization memberships included the American Accounting Association, Beta Alpha Psi (accounting), College Athletics Business Managers Association, College Athletics Directors Association, and Phi Delta Kappa (education). Jones's athletics involvement has distinguished him further in the Appalachian community.

His teams were North State Conference champions twice, Carolina Conference champions six times (consecutively), NAIA District Champions seven times (consecutively), and Southern Conference champions once. Jones never had a team finish lower than third in conference standings, third in NAIA district standings, and eleventh in the NAIA National Tournament.

Thirteen of Jones's former players have gone on to be college tennis coaches, several at major universities. Six former players have earned doctorate degrees, and one is a college president. Although Jones was named professor emeritus on July 1, 1993, he coordinated Appalachian's internship program for two more years and his ties to the Department of Accounting and the Walker College of Business continue. Jones has served on several temporary committees in recent years at the request of the chancellor, including the self-study committee required for re-certification of the athletics program by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the study on possible reclassification of the football program. Jones has presented programs at Appalachian State's continuing education forum for accounting professionals and he has also introduced returning Appalachian State University alumni who were featured speakers.

Since retirement the Joneses have supported the Appalachian Foundation with gifts of stock, cash and charitable gift annuities. The total given from 1992 through 2003 exceeds $35,000. In addition, Jim has a life insurance policy, with the foundation as the beneficiary. When asked, he also continues to contact former students for contributions for athletics and academics. For his efforts in academics and athletics, Jones has been honored with two endowments: the Jim Jones Scholarship Endowment and the James F. Jones Endowed Fund. Current assets in the two funds total over $220,000. The two funds have awarded thousands of dollars since the inception of the second fund in 1992, and the academic disbursements currently exceed $7,000 annually. Jones may be the only retired professor with two endowed funds. Sources: Appalachian State University files, long association, and personal interviews. -Dr. Richard D.

After graduation, Isley accepted a teaching position at Waynesville High School, Waynesville, North Carolina, where he taught band, orchestra, and choral music for sixteen years. His high school music groups competed in the highest levels of state competition, consistently winning superior ratings, and his marching band was twice selected as the North Carolina Lions Club's official representative at the Lions International conventions, in Miami, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois. Isley's orchestra was also to perform before the Southern Regional Music Educators' National Conference in New Orleans. During his last years at Waynesville, Isley was the only music instructor in the state teaching chorus, band, and orchestra. In 1951, the Waynesville Jaycees awarded him their first Distinguished Service Award. While teaching and conducting, Isley began graduate studies at Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University), and in 1954, he received his M.A. degree in music education from the college. Isley married Lois Elizabeth Caldwell, daughter of Maude Lee and Marion Hubert Caldwell. Maude was born in Cataloochee, now a part of the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Geography and Planning William Alexander Imperatore (October 12, 1936-) was born in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania. He is a 1954 graduate of Lincoln High School (Pennsylvania). After serving a "hitch" in the United States Navy, Imperatore began his academic career at Slippery Rock State Teachers' College (now Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania), where he earned a B.S.Ed, degree in geography in 1961. His M.A. degree in geography was conferred in 1963 at the University of Georgia (Athens). Imperatore and his family then moved to Boone, North Carolina, where he was employed as an assistant professor of geography in the Department of Social Studies at Appalachian State University. Imperatore began work on his doctorate in geographic education at the University of Georia in 1966. While there, as a member of the Research and Development Center in Educational Stimulation, he produced geography teaching materials for use at the K-12 level. Published by the University of Georgia Press, the teaching materials were used in many school systems in the United States. After earning his Ed.D. degree, Dr. Imperatore returned to Appalachian State University and, in 1975, attained the rank of professor. During twenty-seven years of teaching, he taught courses on virtually every topic in geography. He also served as chairman of the department for three years. Dr. Imperatore has authored or co-authored several textbooks, including Panorama of North Carolina (eighth grade), 1987; Horizons of South Carolina (third grade), 1993; North Carolina (fourth grade), 1994; and a Braille Atlas of the World, 1993. He also has authored numerous articles which have appeared in the Journal of Geography, Virginia Geographer, Journal of the North Carolina Geographic Society, The Social Studies, and the Appalachian Business Journal. He also presented a three-hour geography program on the national TI-IN educational network. In addition to being chair of the North Carolina Geographic Society (NCGS) and editor of its newspaper for several years, Dr. Imperatore served on the National Council for Geographic Education's Journal of Geography Awards Committee, the NCGS Committee on Geographic Education, and the National Council for Geographic Education Task Force on Geographic Curricula. Of particular note was his 1987 role in helping start the North Carolina Geographic Alliance. Imperatore was coordinator of the alliance, affiliated since 1987 with the National Geographic Society's efforts to enhance geography. He also administered over $400,000 in grants during his tenure at Appalachian State. In 1991, Dr. Imperatore was appointed to the Academy of Outstanding Teachers, College of Arts and Sciences at Appalachian State University, and he also received the Great Influence Award from the North Carolina Council of Social Studies. Since retiring from Appalachian State in July 1993, Dr. Imperatore's activities have included teaching in the Department of Geography at Northern Michigan University (1993-1999); serving as visiting professor at Georgetown University, which entailed lecturing aboard the Royal Viking Sun, as part of their foreign affairs program, on a cruise from San Francisco to New Orleans; continuing research and publication related to the Hawaiian sovereignty movement; and teaching in the Department of Geography at the University of Hawaii in the summer of 1995. Dr. Imperatore has lectured on cruise ships for Norwegian Cruise Line, the Celebrity Cruise Line and the Holland America Line. He continues to teach, via the Internet, a human geography course which he authored for Northern Michigan University. As a member/officer of the Watauga Amateur Radio Club, he helps provide safety communications for many area events. Joanne, his wife and partner for 48 years, died of pancreatic cancer in February 2007. The comfort care he gave her over the months of her battle against cancer prompted Bill to take a nursing course at Caldwell Community College. He passed the certification exam in July 2007 and is now a certified nurse assistant. Employed by Bayada Nurses, Bill has served several clients.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Art Judy Lucille Humphrey (April 6, 1949 -) was born in Florence, South Carolina, the daughter of Nancy Eleanor Hopkins and Ray Wilson Humphrey. In May 1981, she married Terry Estes Taylor, and the couple currently lives in Boone. Ms. Humphrey attended A.C. Flora High School in Columbia, South Carolina, and graduated in 1967. She then attended the University of Georgia, Athens, and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1971 and her Master of Fine Arts degree in 1973. Her graduate thesis was entitled "An Exploitation of Etching Techniques." Humphrey's academic honors included dean's list eight quarters; Alpha Lambda Delta Honorary Scholastic Society; four months of study in Cortona, Italy; graduation with honors Phi Kappa Phi, upper ten percent of class; and graduate assistant in printmaking, 1972-73.

Humphrey's personal teaching philosophy was, "I taught because I loved the energy, insight, and innovation that the learning process ignites. I was always invigorated and personally humbled by the ever-changing experiences that I encountered in the classroom. I considered teaching to be a partnership and the classroom to be an open and safe forum that fostered and nurtured curiosity and a commitment to lifelong questioning and learning. Helping students to gain confidence and discover their own unique voices brought me a tremendous amount of personal satisfaction and joy. "I believed it was my responsibility to offer students as many diverse experiences and perspectives as possible in order for them to establish a broad base for their self-directed development and growth, both as artists and as human beings. I felt it is important to encourage and to challenge students by offering them the opportunity to explore a multitude of image-making possibilities and issues. My role was to provide guidance that will enable students to make important creative discoveries for themselves. I tried not to be too intrusive in their personal problem-solving endeavors because I wanted their solutions to be their own. "My classes were structured around increasing each student's individual level of competence, understanding, and the creative application of the diverse materials covered. My classes were organized in such a manner as to include a great deal of information and experiences in all of the following areas: technical processes and skills, compositional innovation, expressive content and concepts, personal artistic development and commitment, critical thinking and theory, historical development and perspective, contemporary trends and directions, pluralistic and non-traditional perspectives, expanded notions of materials and processes, and post-modernist theory and practice." Some of Ms. Humphrey's major curriculum activities included: member, Subcommittee to revise Senior Studio and Senior Seminar courses, fall 2003; teaching Design Fundamentals I for first time, spring 2003; teaching Advanced Print-making clustered with Lithography for the first time, spring 2003; development of new course, fall 2002: Mixed Media Studio For Non-Art Majors; participation in Foundations Daylong Workshop, fall 2001; designing and coordinating of the creation of an Alternative Darkroom, 2001; co-coordinator, Departmental Unit Plan, 1999; co-coordinator, Annual Report 1999; chair, Foundations Committee, 1995; and director, Portfolio Reviews, 1992-present. Community services performed by Ms. Humphrey included: member, Community Public Art space Committee, 2004; member, Blue Ridge Garden Club, 2002-2004; member, Watauga County Human Society, 1997-2004; member, Watauga County Arts Council, 1979-2004; She donated art to the Humane Society's Fur Ball Auction, 2002 and 2003; assisted Cheap Joe's Art Supplies in adding printmaking supplies to their local outlet, 2001; organized student print exhibit, Center for Craft, Creativity and Design, Hendersonville, North Carolina, 2001; was chair, Property Subcommittee, Boone Mural Committee, 1997; donated art to Mountain Pathway School's Auction, 1994; and performed many other community services.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emerita of English Donna Havnaer Houck, a native of Hickory, North Carolina, is the daughter of Kathryn W. and Houston D. Havnaer. Surrounded by a family of educators - great-aunt Kathryn Brooks, an elementary school teacher; uncle Yates Havnaer, a high school science teacher; brother Donnell Havnaer, a middle school English teacher and later middle school principal; and mother, a high school English, Latin teacher, and counselor -she knew almost from the very beginning that she, too, would be an instructor. Houck graduated from Claremont Central High School (now Hickory High School), where she was a student athlete, co-editor of the student annual, and a member of Future Teachers of America. She received a full scholarship to Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University). At Appalachian State, she double-majored in English and Spanish, making the Dean's list every quarter. She was included in the Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities her senior year and was designated an honor student teacher after she completed her student teaching in Valdese, North Carolina. She graduated magna cum laude in 1964. With the encouragement of her mentors Dr. Cratis Williams, Dr. Graydon Eggers, and Mrs. Daisy Eggers, Houck returned to Appalachian State that same year to work on her master's degree, which she completed in 1965, with majors in English and community college education. After being courted by numerous institutions eager to employ her for their English departments, she elected to return to Appalachian State, where she would teach in the English department for the next thirty-five years. While at Appalachian State University, Houck began her career as an instructor and ended it as an associate professor. Her favorite courses were the Popular Novel and Advanced Grammar, although she was also fond of the sophomore British and American literature classes. Likewise, Houck found teaching in the English Honors Program both challenging and rewarding. In 1978, Houck began work on her Ph.D. degree at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, while continuing her full-time responsibilities in the English department. Her dissertation, Robert Penn Warren: The Prison of the Self, explored the imprisonment imagery in Warren's ten novels. She completed her degree requirements in 1986. Looking back over her years at Appalachian State University, Dr. Houck says another of her favorite activities was participating in the Freshman Summer Orientation Program, which she joined in 1981. There, she helped literally thousands of students make a successful transition from high school into college. Pursuing her interest in helping these students succeed at Appalachian State, she became a part-time advisor in the General College, a position she held until 1995, at which time she assumed the role of faculty advisor for teaching majors in the English department. Dr. Houck married Robert M. Houck in 1976. Robert was a VietNam war veteran, as well as an Appalachian alumnus. After thirty-five years of teaching at Appalachian State University, Houck retired and was granted emerita status from the Board of Trustees in 2001. Today, she says she thoroughly enjoyed her years of teaching at Appalachian State, but she is also enjoying retirement. Dr. Houck especially likes the fact that she now has time to care for her animal rescues. She has always been involved with animal welfare, and she volunteers weekly with the Watauga Humane Society.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science Lawrence (Larry) Edward Horine (March 4, 1931-), was born in Colon, Republic of Panama, the youngest of five children of Ester May Conrad and George Carlton Horine. Since he had been in the milk and ice cream production business with his family in Reading, Pennsylvania, George was employed by the Panama Canal Company to design and operate the first ice cream and pasturized-milk factory in the Panama Canal Zone. Horine graduated from Cristobal High School in New Cristobal, Panama, in 1949. He attended Colorado University, Boulder, Colorado, where he earned his B.S. degree (1953), M.A. degree (1956), and Ed.D. degree (1966). An enrollee in the Reserved Officers' Training Corps, Horine was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. While attending Colorado University, he lettered all four years in football as a defensive back and place kicker; he also earned letters, in each of three years, as a baseball outfielder and as a shot putter. Following graduation, Horine played one season of professional baseball and then served two years in the Air Force in Puerto Rico. He also played briefly in the National Foot-ball League with the San Francisco 49ers. Horine married Mary Ellen Stacy (February 19, 1932-) of Cheyenne, Wyoming, on June 5, 1954, in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Mary Horine is the oldest child of Colonel Sherwood J. Stacy and Mary Almeda (Kennedy) Stacy. The Horines have three children. Stace E. (February 12, 1962-), was born in Balboa, Canal Zone. He earned his B.S. degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, a B.S. degree and M.A. degree in biology from Appalachian State University, and a D.O. degree from the College of Osteopathy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Stace Horine is a board-certified physician of emergency medicine at Mission Memorial Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina. He is married to the former Sheila Woodson, and the couple has three daughters, Mattie, Katherine, and Hannah. Larry Sherwood graduated from Appalachian State, where he specialized in biology. He earned his D.O. degree at Western Virginia College of Osteopathy in Lewisburg. He practiced as an emergency room physician in Virginia, California, and at the Watauga Medical Center in Boone, North Carolina. He married Joan Gray, and the couple had two boys, Zachery and Joshua. Sherwood was killed in 1998, while training for a mountain bicycle race. Joan and the boys reside in Boone. Mary Sheryl earned her B.S. degree in zoology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and a M.Ph. degree from Boston University. She worked as an epidemiologist for the Massachusetts State Department of Public Health in Boston for a decade. Mary Sheryl is currently living in Boone, North Carolina and teaching part-time at Appalachian State University. She has a daughter, Grace, and twin boys, Cole and Carlton. Dr. Horine began his career as a teacher and coach of football, basketball, and track and field at Cheyenne Wells High School in Colorado (1953). Following his service in the Air Force and graduate work, he returned to teach health and physical education and to coach football and baseball at Balboa High School in the Panama Canal Zone from 1957 to 1960. He was promoted to supervising director of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics for the Panama Canal Zone in 1961, and he continued in this position until 1968, when he accepted an appointment at Appalachian State University. Dr. Horine came to Appalachian State as an associate professor in the Department of Health and Physical Education, where he primarily taught health education courses. He was promoted to professor and appointed chair of the department in 1969, and he served in that capacity for ten years. During the period, new majors in health and recreation, a minor in athletics coaching, and a non-teaching master's in health and physical education were established. Also, required teacher evaluation for all personnel in the department was originated. Horine taught full-time in the department from 1979 to 1986. Horine was the founder of the first Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in a rural setting in North Carolina. While he taught a variety of courses, his primary areas were emergency care and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as graduate courses in sport management, such as sports law and administration in physical education and athletics. He received grants to travel three times to Cochabamba, Bolivia and once each to Lima, Peru; Asuncion, Paraguay; and Aruba. In 1986, Dr. Horine was appointed to the position of director of International Studies and served in this capacity until 1992. During this period, student and faculty exchanges expanded from one in China to those in Germany, England, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Russia. Appalachian State was admitted to the International Student Exchange Program, which allowed students to attend one hundred foreign universities for the same cost as attending Appalachian State. Summer study-abroad trips for students were greatly increased. Also, funding for Appalachian State faculty to study a foreign language during the summer was established. During this period, Dr. Horine traveled widely, investigating new exchange locations, and was awarded several travel grants, including three from the United States Sports Academy, to travel around the world teaching one-week certificate courses in sports facility design. Along with the Sports Academy grants, Horine was given one from the British Council on Higher Education, enabling him to visit several major institutions in England and Scotland. He was also awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study German higher education. In the fall of 1992, Horine resigned from the position of director of International Studies so that he would be eligible to accept an assignment as a visiting professor to the National University of Costa Rica in Heredia. During his years at Appalachian State, Horine served on a number of committees, councils, and task forces. He was a life member and fellow in the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, and his council service included being chair of the Council on Facilities and Equipment. Dr. Horine was a prolific writer, publishing numerous articles in regional, national and international refereed journals. He also authored several chapters in books, among them Sport and Physical Education Around the World, Public Relations in Sport, and in 1999, a chapter on "Winter Sport Facilities" in Facility Planning for Physical Activity and Sport. In addition, in September 2004, Horine published the fifth edition of his nationally recognized textbook, Administration of Physical Education and Sport Programs. In 2006, this textbook was released in Chinese. Dr. Horine's avocational interests are wide ranging. For three decades, he jogged daily and competed in many long-distance races, including the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, District of Columbia; the Philadelphia Marathon, and the Charlotte Marathon. In the last decade, because of ailing knees, he switched first to senior swimming competition, in which he set several state records and placed in the top ten in national meets. In recent years, he has concentrated on senior and master's track and field competition, setting state and many meet records in the shot putt, discus, and javelin. He has won 11 national championships in these events, in his age group. He lifts weights every other day year-round and engages in some form of aerobic exercise every day for at least forty-five minutes. For many years, Dr. Horine has been very active in winter sports. He completed thirty-seven years on the National Ski Patrol in 1999 and has skied in a variety of areas in Colorado, California, New England, Europe, and in South America. In 1989, he was the founding director of the High Country Senior Games and served in that capacity for several years. His quieter activities are reading and gardening. Horine has served on several community committees, including the board of directors of the American Red Cross, the Greenway Committee, and the Watauga County Task Force for Recreation Facilities. Dr. Mary Ellen Horine retired from the Watauga County schools in 1994, after serving in several administrative positions. In recent years, she has joined the Department of Curriculum and Instruction to supervise student teachers. She has directed the local Weight Watchers programs for many years. Both Horines travel extensively overseas. They enjoy the company of their Yorkie dog, Max, and spend as much quality time as possible with their eight grandchildren.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emeritus of the Library L. Keith Hill (July 4, 1942-) was born in Camden, South Carolina. As he finished his undergraduate degree in history at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, in the spring of 1964, Hill was uncertain regarding his future plans. While in the campus library, he began perusing graduate school catalogs. Having spent part of his childhood in Piedmont North Carolina, he was attracted to the catalog of Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University), with its black-and-white photograph of the Appalachian campus as seen from the top of Howard's Knob. This introduction to the college led Hill to enter the Appalachian State graduate program in the fall of 1964. A year later, he received his M.A. degree in the social sciences, with a specialization in community college teaching. For the next four years, Hill was an instructor at Wytheville Community College in Wytheville, Virginia. Here he taught various history courses, as well as political science, literature, and even secretarial science, for a year. Hill entered graduate school at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, in the fall of 1969. He remained there two years and completed the course work for a doctorate in history. Since the job market in this field was so tight, Hill entered the library school at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill during the summer of 1971. He finished the course work for a master's degree in the spring of 1972. As a final requirement for this degree, Hill wrote a history of the Appalachian State University library from its beginnings in 1899 until the retirement of long-time director, Leonard Eury, in 1970. Hill's research on the library's history required him to spend extensive time in Boone, gathering documents and interviewing library personnel and other faculty and administrators throughout the University. The result of his research was a well-documented history of the library, which completed his degree. It also led to a position in the Appalachian State library, beginning in July 1972. During the next thirty-two years, Hill worked in the Belk Library and taught lower division courses in the Department of History for a number of years. He held various positions in the library, which provided him with periodic renewal and continued intellectual stimulation. His library responsibilities centered around references services until the late nineties. Some of his duties included reference desk service, library instruction, microform materials, and collection development. He also took a one-year turn as a rotating reference department head, and was a coordinator of reference desk services for a number of years. Upon library reorganization in the early nineties, Hill served for two years as the first coordinator of reference services and bibliographic instruction. Hill spent his final years in the library as a full-time collection-development librarian. This position allowed him to work closely with many academic departments in social sciences and humanities in selecting library materials. He especially enjoyed the role he played in building the history collection. During his graduate program at Appalachian State Teachers' College, Hill met his future wife, Martha Elizabeth "Betsy" Wellborn. They were married September 3,1966, when she transferred to Radford College to complete her undergraduate degree with a major in biology. Betsy also became a teacher, and taught for nearly thirty-four years until she retired from the Wilkes County school system in 2001. In the summer of 2001, Hill formally retired from Appalachian State University, but entered the phased retirement program. His participation in the program concluded in June 2004. According to Hill, retirement is recommended. He and his wife are enjoying frequent travel, cultural programs, reading, and the simple pleasure of rural life on a hilltop just east of Deep Gap, North Carolina. Keri Elizabeth, their daughter, also makes retirement much brighter. She is a 1999 graduate of Appalachian State University, with a major in psychology. Keri recently completed a master's degree in community counseling at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She is employed as a mental health counselor and works with troubled youth. In June of 2004, the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees awarded Hill the rank of associate professor Emeritus.

His mother, a graduate of Western Carolina University, was a schoolteacher and his father was a lifelong newspaperman—reporter, news director, and editorial page editor. Henson attended Beaumont High School in Beaumont, Texas, from which he graduated in 1958, lettering in tennis. He then attended the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, where he majored in zoology. Transferring to Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas, he graduated in 1963. Henson began his master's degree studies in 1963 at Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas, working under the direction of Dr. Sewell H. Hopkins, a distinguished professor of parasitology and marine biology. Upon completion of his M. S. degree, he began a Ph. D. program, while continuing to work under Hopkins, and he graduated in 1970. Dr. Henson accepted a position at Appalachian State University to pursue his love of teaching. He spent the next thirty-six years, 1970-2006, teaching and doing research in medical parasitology, then shifted to a new interest area of desert ecology in the mid-1980s. Since that time, he has worked on the systematics and ecology of scorpions in the southwestern United States. For Dr. Henson, teaching involved extended field trips throughout the United States and to several international locations. He organized and developed cross-country field trips in 1973, 1980, 1983, and 1986. He also taught an on-site desert ecology field course in the summer of 1988.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emeritus of the Library John William Heaton (August 14, 1937-), was born in Banner Elk, North Carolina, to Nellie Faye Jones and John Kennedy Heaton. His mother came from a large family of little means from "the back hollows" of Avery County, North Carolina. Recognized as an outstanding student by the principal of Cranberry High School, Faye received a scholarship to Milligan College, Milligan College, Tennessee, and graduated in 1936. Heaton's father graduated from East Tennessee State University and began a career in education-teaching high school mathematics and becoming the principal of an elementary school in Carter County, Tennessee. He later retired "very happy" as a truck driver. Heaton graduated from Cloudland High School in Roan Mountain, Tennessee, in 1955. Like his mother, he attended Milligan College in Carter County, Tennessee, graduating in 1959. He then began teaching combined classes of fourth, fifth, and sixth grades at a three-teacher school, Shell Creek Elementary in Roan Mountain. Heaton was drafted into the United States Army in 1960 and reported for duty at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, serving in the Finance Corps. He was then stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and later at the Seventh Army Headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. It was there that Heaton began correspondence with his future wife, Myrna Sue Wells, a native of Howard, Kansas. This correspondence lasted two years; the couple met in person upon Heaton's return from Germany, and was married within six months, on June 13, 1964. Myrna had also graduated from Milligan College in 1963. She received her master's from East Tennessee State University and her Ed.S. degree from Appalachian State University. She was a librarian and assistant principal in Watauga County for thirty-one years and retired from Hardin Park Elementary School in 2000. In 1964, Heaton began his postgraduate studies at East Tennessee State University. He served as a librarian at Rogersville High School and Capital High School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, while working on his master's degree. In 1969, Heaton came to Appalachian State to fill the position of assistant circulation librarian at Belk Library. After earning his master's in library science in 1970, he became the assistant acquisitions librarian under Zebulon Shook. Heaton served as acquisitions librarian from about 1980 until his retirement in 1997. While working on his Ed.S. degree at Appalachian State, Heaton became interested in recording inscriptions from local cemeteries, an interest encouraged by the growing number of genealogy hobbyists who needed such information. His pursuit led to a video project in which he has taped each of the grave markers in the cemeteries of Watauga County--over 300 cemeteries so far and this project is ongoing.

While at Appalachian, she was employed in the Department of Art as professor of art and art education, with major studio efforts in fiber construction. Force has participated in art exhibits since 1950, with works purchased for permanent museum collections in California, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Greece. She has had European exhibits in Paris, Florence, Rome, and Athens. Since 1965, Dr. Force has traveled to Europe thirteen times, teaching and leading art study groups totaling over two thousand students. From 1969 to 1971, she served as chair of the Appalachian committee to develop European study programs. As a teacher, Dr. Force believed it was vital to respect all students, to take joy in their learning, to be patient as they develop at their own pace, to recognize potential beyond their own realization, to challenge them toward deeper and faster growth, to value their learning opportunities more than comfort and ease of classroom and course management, to keep flexibility a basis for goal-seeking, to be a learner with and from the students, to care about their well-being, to retain that caring after the teacher-student role is past, and to always hold the sure knowledge that each of us is equally loved by God. While at Appalachian, Dr. Force served on the following committees: General College Council, 1969-80; Educational Council, 1970-71; Chancellor Search Committee, 1978; Long-Range Planning Committee, 1970-75; Graduate Program Committee, 1970-84; Graduate Program, chair, 1970-82; Field-Based Graduate Program, chair, 1972-86; and Art Education Committee, 1969-retirement (chair, 1969-80 and 1983-86). She also participated in the TTT program, 1971-72. Dr. Force also served on the boards of the following organizations: National Association of Educators of Art, Southeast Division, chair, 1970-71 (NAEA); North Carolina Association of Educators of Art, chair, research, 1972-73; and NAEA research director, Southeast Region, higher education, 1979-81. Dr. Force's greatest pleasure in teaching came from participating in national efforts to change art education from media orientation to perceptual, conceptual, and experiential understandings. In addition, she enjoyed initiating and developing the Department of Art's graduate program and the accompanying "Grad-camp Program." This program enabled in-service teachers to earn their masters' degrees. Along with Dr. Jim Stines and Dr. Don Frantz, Force developed Watauga College. Dr. Force has received many rewards: International Who's Who Women in Art, London, 1980; Danforth Associate, 1977; Academic Excellence Fellowship, $7,000, Madison Junior College, Madison, Florida, 1966-67; Silver Award, painting, Missouri State Fair, 1952; and Who's Who in American Schools and Colleges, 1952. Force's publications include the following: • "An Experimental Study to Examine the Response of Sixth-Grade Students to Programmed Instruction in Art Designed to Correspond to Selected Ability Trait Variables." Dissertation, Florida State University, 1968. • Member, committee of nine. Purposes, Principles, and Standards for School Art Programs. National Art Education Association, Reston, Virginia, 1981. • Member, committee of eight. Standards for Art Teacher Preparation Programs. National Education Association, Reston, Virginia, 1980. • Alternatives in Art Education, Center for Instructional Development, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 1979. • Bases For Decision Making in Art Education, Center for Instructional Development, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, 1979. • Force, Lorraine and Donald Frantz. Poems and Fibers, Appalachian State University, 1974. • Studies in Art Education, a research study, expansion of the dissertation, H.E.W. research grant, National Art Education Association, 1970. Dr. Force conducted several research efforts, including studies of different learning abilities of children and their responses to related methods of teaching, development of inservice art programs, perceptual development in elementary schools, and art education and verbalization. Dr. Force stated that "retirement brings with it the wonderful opportunity to have time to produce art!" Sources: Personal correspondence with Lorraine Force. -Dr. Richard D.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of the Library Pat Farthing earned her B.A. degree in English at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1963, and soon after, from 1964 until 1968, she served as a reference librarian at East Baton Rouge Parish Library, Midtown Branch, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. During this time she earned a M.L.S. degree in library science (1966), also from Louisiana State University. Finally, she earned an Ed.S. degree in educational media (1978) from Appalachian State University (ASU) in Boone, North Carolina. After her work as a reference librarian in Baton Rouge, Farthing served as a reference librarian and Southeast Texas Major Resource Area Consultant in the Corpus Christi Public Library in Corpus Christi, Texas from 1968 until 1971. From 1971 to 1972, she served as an LSCA Title III Consultant for the Arizona State Library Extension Department in Phoenix, Arizona. It was in 1972 that Farthing came to ASU. Later, she served the university as the librarian for the Instructional Materials Center with various additional library responsibilities throughout the years such as Instructional Team Coordinator, Reference Team member, and collection development librarian for the Education and Instructional Materials Center Collections. She served in this position until 2008. Farthing became an assistant professor at ASU in 1979, received tenure in 1983, was promoted to associate professor in 1985, and, finally, became a professor in 1996. In July 2008, Farthing resigned her position and entered the three-year phased retirement program at ASU with responsibilities as librarian in the Instructional Materials Center and library outreach to area public school educators. Farthing was a member of the following professional organizations: • North Carolina Library Association (College & University section; Reference & Adult Services section; School Librarians section) • Phi Delta Kappa, Appalachian State University Chapter (over the years she held the offices of Historian, Vice President for Programs, faculty advisor, and President for several terms) • International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) • United State Board on Books for Young People (the U.S. national section of IBBY) • North Carolina Academic Curriculum Librarians Interest Group (she was one of the original organizers of this interest group and served as its second Chair) Some of the many highlights of this personable and consummate professional person were: • In April 2000, Farthing went to Tucson, Arizona to make a presentation about the AppState Library's organizational change and progress/issues at the University of Arizona's national "Living the Future" conference • In 2003 the Instructional Materials Center became the sister library to the Biblioteca Th'uruchapita in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the only children's library in Bolivia. In that capacity Farthing provided kits of information (artifacts, books, CDs, etc.) about Bolivia to the school systems in the eight counties of the ASU Public School Partnership Program sponsored by the Reich College of Education. As school groups here in North Carolina use these kits to learn about Bolivia, they, in turn, do fundraising projects to send children's books in Spanish to Biblioteca Th'uruchapita. • In March 2007, Farthing went with other AppState Distance Learning librarians to Baltimore, Maryland, to present "Charting New Waters; Offering library instruction through a multimedia web-based product" at the 13th national conference of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL). Finally, Farthing produced several research web sites such as: "Research Guide for English Language Learning," "Research Guide to the Holocaust," and "Children's Books as Messengers of Peace."

Two publications were: 1989 Selected Readings of the 20th Annual Conference at Virginia Tech, "Using the Mask as a Vehicle of Communication" which explained a teaching assignment involving a research paper on a particular culture or tradition using masks, a studio project making a mask based on that research, presentation and exhibition; and in the 1990 Selected Readings of the 21ST Annual Conference at ASU at Scottsdale, "The Hollywood Icon of the Cowboy Hero" which explored the "hero" as a Jungian archetype and the darker counterpart, the "antihero" citing Greek mythology, early American tales, dime novels, film and TV. Joan participated in a Study Abroad Program in conjunction with the School of Business touring several European countries and focusing on Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals, visiting many art museums and exploring various art movements that evolved from European economic and societal changes. A second project was in 1993 with Terry Suhre, Director of the Catherine Smith Gallery, to study the status of artists in post-USSR Russia in St. Petersburg. They visited several art academies and studios of government-funded artists, as well as several studios of independent avant-garde artists. A turbulent economic situation occurred when Glasnost opened Russia to western ideas and the avant-garde artists began to find financial support from Western Europe, while "official" artists working in iconographic social realism began to lose the government guarantee of support. Durden and Suhre presented a paper "Russian Art in Transition" at the 25th Annual Visual Literacy Association in Scottsdale at Arizona State University in 1994. Joan's scholarship bridges exhibiting artwork and writing papers for presentation and publication. She was featured in the "Research News" of Appalachian's Graduate School, Fall 1994, Vol. XII. Some of the exhibitions are a solo show at Warren Wilson College, juried shows: Women Artists of North Carolina in Chapel Hill; Southworks Juried Exhibition, Watkinsville, Ga.; National Non-Objective Show at the Sawtooth Gallery, Winston-Salem; Graceland National Drawing Exhibition, Lamoni, Iowa; National Drawing Exhibition, Del Mar University, TX. She exhibited at Artist's Associates Gallery in Atlanta for 28 years. Joan's work is included in many corporate and private art collections. Her painting was selected for the installation image for Chancellor Frank Borkowski in 1993. Joan's artwork has always been inspired by nature, the fragility of the environment and consists of several series of paintings of water as a life-giving source. When Appalachian State was asked to participate in a federal project called "A Clean Water Initiative" addressing acid run off from strip mining for coal, it was an opportunity to make artwork and to promote environmental conservation and land restoration. Joan visited and photographed two coalmines in Kentucky and some restored land areas. She painted a body of works based on that experience, and in 1998 she had a solo exhibition in the Department of Interior, Washington, D.C. Joan and Garey both retired in 2004 and moved to Amelia Island, Florida. They enjoy playing golf and walking on the beach. They have traveled to various art centers such as Amsterdam, Bruges, Santa Fe, Taos, and various national parks in the U.S. and in Canada. Joan continues to paint and exhibits at Waterwheel Gallery on Amelia Island. She is presently working on a series on the Okefenokee Swamp. She is also a member of the Coalition of Visual Artists of Jacksonville, and has participated in several juried and invitational exhibitions in Jacksonville. Their son Andrew is an attorney in Atlanta. He and his wife Kati have two daughters, Penelope and Edie.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Psychology John Daniel Duke (August 31, 1931-) was born in St. Louis, MO. He attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, earning his A.B., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in psychology (1953, 1958, 1962). He had limited army clinical experience 1954-1956 at Fort Sam Houston, TX and Fort Bragg, NC giving batteries of psychological tests to psychiatric patients, but his academic career has been entirely in Social Psychology and General/Theoretical Psychology. He first taught 1959-1962 at Wofford College (Spartanburg, SC) where he also served as chair of his department. From 1962 to 1968, his appointment was at Montana State University (Bozeman, MT). He became acting chair the last 18months of his tenure there. His published research there and at Appalachian State University (1986-1993) have included these areas: correlates of placebo reactivity and primary suggestibility (hypnotizability); oddities of body perception and drawings; attitude/opinion studies and methodological problems; the effects of early and late enriched environmental stimulation on learning abilities of matched sample rats, tables to help students interpret correlation size differences, and most extensively here at the university, his many studies on grading disparities in practice and how they impact on student GPAs. Duke earned his tenure at Appalachian in 1970, did special work for the Center of Instructional Development, participated in an Off Campus Scholarly Assignment Program, and served a few years in the AAUP and many years in the faculty senate. He took pride first and foremost in his teaching, and he won recognition as Teacher of the Year in his college both at Montana State and at Appalachian. He prepared booklets of notes for every class he taught. At contract renewal time each year, he typically waited until the last day before signing his next contract, usually with a note that Harvard did not call again. He was also editor of the Faculty Voice taking jabs now and then at policy directions taken by the University. Societies in which Duke held membership include the AAUP (Association of American University Presidents), the honorary society Phi Beta Kappa, the American Psychology Association, and state psychology organizations. He poked fun at faculty happenings in "On the Scene," once contributing that he and his staff person had participated in dyadic interactions in Atlanta put on by the ACBL (translation, he played in a weekend of tournament duplicate bridge). Another time in jargon just as specious he got inserted a reference to a weekend of golf at Tanglewood. The editors got wise and did not publish the listing about a made-up professor who won the prestigious Peabody Award. They reported receiving the listing, but stopped the story because when they called the department for more information, the department could not help them. Duke enjoyed his career. In annual reviews when asked to list his "creative activities of the year," it became his tired joke to write "filling out answers to this section of the report." Dr. Duke was awarded emeritus status in September 1993. Dr. Duke has two children by his previous wife, Donna Snyder Duke. His son, Miles is a computer whiz in Atlanta, and his daughter, Cama is a staff leader of the tutorial program for Appalachian State University. He has five grandchildren. Duke remarried Susan Beltz Waggaman in 1992. They live in Vilas in a condo that abuts the willows and one pond of the Willow Creek Golf Course. Duke gave up golf but keeps up his walking, usually walking over 20 miles a week. Susan was an administrative assistant at the Blowing Rock Hospital, but is now retired. As a result of fun teaching in Elderhostel programs put on at Appalachian, Duke with a great deal of help from the Center of Conferences and Institutes initiated and created a unique summer bridge program (Land Cruise Bridge Festivals). Duke taught bridge courses for rising players attracted from a majority of states and from Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, and Great Britain. Duke took great pride in the high number of students who came two or more summers, including repeat visitors from all three countries that had participating students. Duke remains an avid bridge player and organizer. His founded Unit 244 that serves 14 counties of northwest North Carolina, part of the American Contract Bridge League. He founded two and directed four area country club duplicate bridge clubs, and indirectly has made this area a Mecca for bridge competition. Boone now enjoys five games a week open to the public and five country club invitational games. Retirement finds Duke still steeped in bridge, both as a player and as a teacher. He and Susan have been the bridge directors and teachers on bridge cruises to the Caribbean, to the Panama Canal, to Alaska, and to Hawaii. More such cruises are in the offing. They also fancy long car trips and have crossed the country three or four times. They have also enjoyed Elderhostel programs that have taken them so far to Brazil and to the parks of Utah and to Puget Sound.
