Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Communication Claude Howard Dorgan (July 5, 1932-), was born in Ruston, Louisiana, to Ester Mae Cheetwood and John C. Dorgan. Howard's wife, Kathleen, is also retired-in her case from the Watauga County public schools—and the couple has two children: Shawn, a certified public accountant, and Kelly, a Ph.D. in communication, who teaches in the Department of Communication at East Tennessee State University. Dorgan also has two brothers, John C., a retired high school principal in El Paso, Texas, and Joe M., who is retired from the Naval Ordinance Test Station in China Lake, California, and who lives in Waupum, Wisconsin. Dorgan received a B.A. degree in speech and theater from the University of Texas-El Paso and an M.F.A. degree in theater from the University of Texas-Austin. He also attended Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge (LSU), where he earned his Ph.D. degree in speech communication. After an initial nine years of secondary teaching in Idaho and Texas, Dorgan was hired to coach forensics at Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas. That three-year experience in higher education motivated his enrollment in the doctoral program at LSU. Completing that program in August 1971, he then began his career at Appalachian State University as an associate professor of communication. Benefiting from a rapid growth in personal publications, along with an early recognition in service and teaching, Dr. Dorgan received tenure in May 1974 and was promoted to professor in 1975. While at Appalachian State, Dorgan developed an interest in Appalachian religious studies that grew out of his earlier study of Southern rhetoric and public address. With the late Cratis Williams as his mentor, he became attracted to the highly rhythmical and largely chanted homiletic style of the Appalachian "Old Time" Baptist preacher, and he began a rhetorical and ethnographic study of a wide range of highly traditional Baptist subdenominations, some found only in Central Appalachia. This study has now spanned over thirty years, during which time Dr. Dorgan also became intensely interested in Appalachian religious broadcasting over small AM stations within the region. A recent scholarly focus of Dorgan's has been the Primitive Baptist Universalists, known within the region as the "No-Hellers." In the Hands of a Happy God: The "No-Hellers" of Central Appalachia, published in 1997, has received considerably scholarly attention, both in the United States and abroad. Dr. Dorgan held several professional offices at Appalachian State, including the following: president, Appalachian Studies Association (1997-1998); president, Southern States Communication Association (1991-1992); executive secretary, Southern States Communication Association (1985-1990), editor, Southern Communication Journal (1981-1984); and president, Carolinas Communication Association (1975-1976). Among his awards and honors, he received the Appalachian Consortium Laurel Leaves Award (1998), the Betty-Jo Welch Carolinas Communication Association Service Award (1995), the Appalachian State University Student Government Award for Outstanding Teaching (1995), the Thomas Wolfe Literary Award for Airwaves in Zion (1993), the College of Fine and Applied Arts Outstanding Faculty Award (1993), and the Board of Trustees Award in Recognition of Excellence in Teaching (1975). Aside from Airwaves in Zion and In the Hands of a Happy God, Dr. Dorgan has published the following books: • The Old Regular Baptists of Central Appalachia, (University of Tennessee Press, 1987) • Giving Glory to God in Appalachia (University of Tennessee Press, 1987) • A New Diversity in Contemporary Southern Rhetoric (Louisiana State University Press, 1987, with Calvin Logue of the University of Georgia) 157 • The Oratory of Southern Demagogues (Louisiana State University Press, 1981, with Calvin Logue). In addition to the above books, Dorgan has published over fifty journal articles, encyclopedia entries, and book chapters. He is also a skilled editor, having edited two academic journals and having served on the editorial boards of four other journals. He is the religious section editor for the Encyclopedia of Appalachia, expected to be released by the University of Tennessee in 2005. Dr. Dorgan closed out his Appalachian State teaching career in 2000. He is currently writing a series of Appalachian religion articles for the Watauga Democrat, which he hopes to compile as his next book.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Dean Emerita, Graduate Studies and Research Judith Elaine Domer was born on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1939, in Millersville, Pennsylvania, to Dorothy Peters Kofroth and Richard Harvey Kofroth. After graduating from high school, Dorothy was a bookkeeper most of her working years, operating one of the first computers designed to facilitate bookkeeping. Judith's father, Richard, did not graduate from high school, but educated himself in oil burner sales and service and owned a business in that field for a number of years before becoming a plant manager for the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Country Day School. In 1965, Judith married Floyd Domer, a distinguished scientist and educator, who has a doctorate in pharmacology and who was on the faculty at Tulane Medical School from the early 1960s through 1997, when he retired and moved to Boone with his wife. He was an adjunct professor in the Department of Biology at Appalachian State University until 2004, when both he and Professor Judith Domer retired. Judith Domer graduated from Penn Manor High School in Millersville and then entered Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tennessee, as a first-generation college student. At the college, she was a member of Alpha Chi National Scholastic Honorary Society and a Charles Oliver Gray Scholar. She graduated magna cum laude in 1961. While at Tusculum, Domer was recruited to Tulane Medical School by a woman scientist who was the principal investigator on a National Institutes of Health Training grant, designed to educate students in the field of medical mycology, the study of fungi that are of medical importance. Domer's dissertation was awarded the Sigma Xi Award for the best Ph. D. dissertation at Tulane University in 1966. The woman who recruited Domer to Tulane, Lorraine Friedman, became a lifelong friend and mentor and was one of the seminal factors in what successes Professor Domer achieved. Following graduation from Tulane, Domer was employed by Dominican College for one year as a part-time instructor in biology, while she was a part-time postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biochemistry at Tulane Medical School. Teaching full-time the next year at Dominican College, she also wrote and submitted a grant to the National Institutes of Health for the study of a pathogenic fungus, and, when the grant was awarded (1968), she returned to Tulane Medical School as a research associate in the Department of Micro-biology and Immunology. She remained at Tulane Medical School until 1997, moving through the professorial ranks to full professor and also serving in two consecutive administrative positions: as associate dean of the graduate school and then as acting vice chancellor for graduate studies at the Medical Center. During her tenure at Tulane, Professor Domer was heavily involved in research, most of it funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and was also the co-director and then director of the training grant under which she had been a student. In addition to the research, she mentored post-doctoal fellows and graduate students who did research in her laboratory and taught both medical and graduate students in the areas of medical mycology and immunology. In 1996, she was awarded the Virginia Furrow Medical Education Award at Tulane Medical School for her teaching activities. Although her initial work was with Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that lives in the soil, is inhaled, and initiates disease in the lungs, much of her later research involved Candida albicans, a fungus that is part of the normal flora of humans, but one which can cause significant disease in individuals who have certain predisposing factors. Professor Domer's research over the years resulted in sixty-eight publications, consisting of refereed articles in journals such as the Journal of Bacteriology, (the journal) Infection and Immunity, the Canadian Journal of Microbiology and Biochimica Biophysica Acta; invited review articles in various books; and invited publications in proceedings from scientific conferences. Her last scientific publication (2003) was as a co-editor of a book entitled Human Fungal Pathogens. Her co-editor was a long-time colleague and friend, George Kobayashi. The heavy involvement in research led to her appointment to various study sections at NIH and at the Veterans Administration and to being a reviewer for Howard Hughes Predoctoral Fellowships. In recognition of her research activities and her involvement in fostering the field of medical mycology in general, she was awarded, in 2002, the Rhoda Benham Award by the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas. Professor Domer's involvement with research provided opportunities for travel abroad. International travel is a passion for both Domers, and they were fortunate to be able to spend two sabbatical years in London, England, doing research with renowned scientists. Judith Domer was supported by the Wellcome Trust during one year and an NIFI Fogarty International Fellowship during the other. In addition, the couple was able to spend a year involved in research at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. During her career, Judith Domer has been afforded the opportunity to travel to meetings all over the world to deliver presentations: Tokyo and Sendai (Japan), Crete (Greece), Paris (France), Adelaide (Australia), York and Cambridge (England), Edinburgh (Scotland), Barcelona (Spain), Taormina and Rome (Italy). Judith Domer has always had a strong sense of the importance of service to the profession, as well as doing research and teaching, and she has served a number of scientific societies in multiple capacities. She has been the president of the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas, has served on the editorial boards of several journals, notably Infection and Immunity and Clinical Microbiology Reviews, and was the chair of the Annual Meeting Program Committee for the American Society for Microbiology. Because of all her volunteer activities with the American Society for Microbiology, she was awarded the Founders Distinguished Service Award by that organization in 2001. In the mid-1990s, Dr. Domer decided that her administrative skills and background in graduate education could be put to use outside of the laboratory and medical environment, and she was most fortunate in being able to pursue that avenue as the dean of Graduate Studies and Research at Appalachian State University from 1997 to 2004. During that time, she oversaw the expansion and move of the office from B. B. Dougherty to the John Thomas Building, was able to secure a modest increase in the number and level of graduate stipends, saw an increase in the number of out-of-state tuition waivers awarded through the University of North Carolina system office, and saw an increase in research funding in the university to a (then) high of $12 million in 2003. The annual Research Day at which undergraduate and graduate students showcase their research was also begun during her tenure. Dr. Domer was granted emerita status by the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees on June 15, 2007. Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Kay R.

After he earned his B.A. degree from the University of Iowa, Iowa City, in 1958, he served two years in the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, 1958-1960. He received his M.A. degree in biology in 1962 from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. He also studied at the University of Arizona, taught at the University of Southeastern Massachusetts and at Wharton County Community College in Wharton, Texas, before returning to graduate school at the University of Houston, Texas, where he received a Ph.D. degree in 1972. He married Ruth Ann Baggenstoss on June 6, 1967, in Tucson, Arizona. Ruth is one of three children of Dr. and Mrs. Archie Baggenstoss of Rochester, Minnesota. Ruth received the B.A. degree (Phi Beta Kappa) from the University of Arizona, Tucson, in 1967 and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Houston, Texas, in 1972. Ruth is currently director of the College of Arts and Sciences Electron Microscopy Facility. Dr. and Mrs. Dewel have two children, Alan (December 20, 1974), who earned his B.A. degree from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, in 1997, and Karen (October 20,1985), currently a senior at Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, North Carolina. Dr. Dewel began teaching at Appalachian State University in the fall of 1972 and retired at the end of June 2002. He taught multiple sections of freshman biology for his entire career. His main focus within biology was teaching developmental biology (embryology), as well as teaching electron microscopy, histology, and genetics. The Dewels as a team have published papers on the biology of a relatively unknown phylum of semi-terrestrial, microscopic invertebrates the Tardigrada, commonly known as water bears. Their articles have appeared in the following journals: Journal of Cell Biology, Journal of Ultrastructure Research, Canadian Journal of Botany, Historical Biology, Journal of Morphology, American Zoologist, and Zoological Journal of the Linnaean Society, to name a few. They have also authored two chapters on tardigrades, one in the sixteen volume treatise Morphology of Invertebrates (Frederick Harrison and Mary Rice, eds.) and one in the book Arthropod Relationships (R.A. Fortey and R. H. Thomas, eds.) The Dewels' have established a bio-reserve on a working cattle ranch along the San Pedro River in southeastern Arizona, where they now live.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Emeritus Director of Student Health Services Dr. Derrick was born March 30, 1939, at his home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He was the second of three children. After his graduation from Spartanburg High School in 1957, Derrick attended Duke University on a scholarship. Physics was his intended major, but, during his second year at Duke, he realized his true love was medicine. He then transferred to Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina, fully intending to become a medical missionary. Derrick graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1965 and interned at the Medical Center Hospital in Columbus, Georgia. He was drafted into the United States Army in 1966 and served as flight surgeon at United States Army Headquarters, Zama, Japan. Derrick married Elizabeth (Liz) King in 1960, during his senior year at Wofford College. Elizabeth, a sophomore at Converse College in Spartanburg, then transferred to the College of Charleston. After graduating from this college, Elizabeth began to teach. She completed twenty years of teaching at the North Carolina School for the Deaf, instructing one-, two-, and three-year-old children and their parents. The Derricks have five children, two of whom are adopted. In 1968, the Derricks moved to Boone, North Carolina, where Dr. Derrick planned to set up his general practice. Since neither the new hospital nor the office in which he would establish his practice were ready for occupancy, he worked in the old infirmary at Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) for about six months. After this Dr. Derrick was in private practice for eight years, doing as he says, "A bit of everything in medicine"; however, coming back to the university was always on his mind. He made the move in 1976, beginning what he terms "his love affair" with Appalachian State University. Dr. Derrick states that he "absolutely loved caring for the health needs of the students" and looked forward to going to work every Mon-day morning. Dr. Derrick was a fellow of the American College Health Association and was chair of the athletic medicine section for several years. He was also a member and past president of the Southern College Health Association. Among the honors Dr. Derrick received at Appalachian State University are the Outstanding Service Award by the Alpha Chi National Honor Society, the Plemmons Medallion for Service to Student Affairs, and the Charles Bohmann Award for Service to Student Health. Along with having been physician for the athletic teams at Appalachian State, Dr. Derrick has been physician for the United States Team to the Deaflympics (or the World Games for the Deaf). Since 1977, he has traveled every four years with the United States team, caring for our deaf athletes all around the world, including the countries of Romania, Germany, New Zealand, Denmark, Bulgaria, Italy, and-in 2004-Australia. Since retiring, Dr. Derrick and his wife have done a good bit of traveling and remodeled their home themselves. The couple has 10 grandchildren, five of whom live within 100 yards of their residence. They are active with Disaster Relief, having worked in Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi following hurricanes in those areas. Dr. Derrick maintains close contacts with Student Health Services at ASU, and he says he misses serving as physician director at the facility. "I am absolutely happy and satisfied with where I am now and with what I am doing, but my tenure at ASU continues to bring back interesting and pleasant memories and continues to reestablish old relationships, especially with former students. They are responsible for whatever success I enjoy." Source: Personal correspondence. -Dr. Kay R.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Art Warren Cameron Dennis (September 26, 1927-) was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He received a B.A. degree in art from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg in 1953. In 1955 he received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Mississippi in Oxford. During the summer of 1950, he studied painting at the University of Minnesota in Duluth with renowned Japanese-American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi. While at the University of Mississippi he studied with visiting artists Jack Tworkov, painter, and David Smith, sculptor. From 1955 to 1965, Professor Dennis was the head of the Art Department at Judson College in Marion, Alabama. He was appointed to Appalachian State University in 1965. From 1980 to1984, Professor Dennis served as chair of the Appalachian State Department of Art. He was one of the original developers of the Appalachian-New York Loft Program and was campus director of the Loft for a number of years. In addition, he spent three separate semesters (in 1985, '89, and '93) and the summer term of 1982 in New York City as resident director of the Loft. In 1977-78, he was awarded the first scholarly leave ever granted by the Department of Art. In the summer of 1985 and again in 1987, he organized and directed "Art in Europe," Appalachian's Study Abroad Program, designed to allow students to study the great art of Europe in such places as Florence, Rome, Venice, Paris and Amsterdam. Dennis is an exhibiting artist whose paintings are in public and private collections all over the United States, including the Allan Stone Gallery in NYC, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, the Mississippi Museum in Jackson, and the Hickory Museum of Art in North Carolina. He has had two large one-person exhibits in Appalachian's Catherine Smith Gallery: "A Thirty-Year Retrospective" in 1980 and "1980 Forward" in 1992. His solo exhibitions total well over fifty, and he has participated in numerous group and competitive exhibits throughout the country. Warren Dennis retired from Appalachian State in January 1994, receiving the rank of professor emeritus at that time. He immediately began the full-time pursuit of his art career and has been very busy painting and arranging exhibits. He spent one summer term in 2003 as resident director of the Appalachian House in Washington, DC. In 2002, Dennis was invited to show his painting "The Swing" in "True Colors: Meditations on the American Spirit," an exhibition organized by the Meridian International center, Washington, DC as a response by artists to the events of September 11, 2001. The show opened in February 2002, in Washington, and throughout the next three years it toured the United States and traveled abroad to such places as Berlin, Germany; Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey; Belfast, Northern Ireland; Bratislava, Slovakia; and Tirana, Albania. Warren Dennis's mural "The Park," a 7' x 18' work on three panels, completed in 2001, now hangs in the Burke Mission station in Morganton, NC—a gift of the artists and a permanent installation. Three North Carolina galleries currently represent him: Carlton Art Gallery in Banner Elk, New Elements Gallery in Wilmington, and Art Source in Raleigh. Dennis continues to live in Boone with his wife, Dr. Mary Kate Lowrey Dennis, who has retired from teaching in the Appalachian State English Department.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Language, Reading and Exceptionalities Eris Arrowood Dedmond (March 15, 1931-) was born in Caroleen, North Carolina. She received her B.S. degree in elementary education from Western Carolina University in 1963. In 1968, she received an M.S. degree in reading education from Florida State University, and in 1974 she was awarded a Ph.D. degree in reading/language education from Florida State University. Prior to her appointment at Appalachian State University, Dr. Dedmond was an elementary classroom teacher in Rutherford County schools (1962-65) in Forest City, North Carolina, and in the Rowan County Schools (1965-67) in Salisbury, North Carolina. Her appointment to Appalachian State in 1968, came as an instructor in reading, and tenure was awarded in 1974. In addition, she taught in the Appalachian State University graduate extension (and cluster) programs in Morganton, Hickory, Gastonia, and Pembroke, North Carolina. Her research projects (1973-74) funded by Florida State University resulted in two publications: Interpersonal Aspects of Teaming (with Gay P. Lutz, Florida State University, 1973), and Interpersonal Aspects of Teaming, a videotape accompaniment to the module (United States Office of Education, 1974), Dedmond's other publications are Understanding Reading: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Reading and Learning to Read, Reading World, II (1972); "An Investigation to Determine the Effectiveness of the Informal Classroom Reading Diagnosis and Correction Modules" (1974); and Linguistics for the Teacher of Reading, a text for a course in linguistics and the reading process. In addition, Dedmond presented a paper entitled "Helping Students Gain Control of the Writing Process" at the Appalachian Reading Symposium in October 1983. Working with Dr. Alice Naylor, she developed a research proposal entitled "A Study to Identify the Differences Between Female and Male Responses to Moral Dilemmas in Literature Through the Writing Process." This project reflected her research endeavors during a scholarly leave in the spring semester of 1983. Professor Dedmond instituted the course Linguistics and Reading (RE 4650), designed the course Informal Classroom Reading Diagnosis and Correction (RE 4710), and designed, then coordinated, the undergraduate major in reading education (the first in North Carolina and in the nation). She chaired sessions at the annual Appalachian State University Reading Symposium for several years. Dr. Dedmond served on numerous university committees, including search committees for chancellor, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Elementary Education (chair), Reading Education (chair) the Academic Policy Committee, and the College Committee on Faculty Development. Other committee service included membership on the NCATE Committee on Folios; NCATE Committee on Faculty; Student Teaching Committee; Core Curriculum Committee in Language and Communication; State II Committee on the ASCS Self Study; College of Education, Task Force III; Departmental Personnel Committee; and the Graduate Review Committee. She was also a member of the Equal Opportunity Task Force and the Faculty Senate (college senator) from 1979 to 1980. Additionally, Dr. Dedmond served as an advisor and counselor to undergraduate majors in reading education. Eris Dedmond retired in June 1991 and was appointed to faculty emerita status at that time. She has one son, Allan Thomas Wilson (1950-). She and her late husband, Dr. Francis B. Dedmond, made their home in Boone, North Carolina.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Dean of Students/Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Development Emerita Barbara Watkins Daye (October 14, 1937-), a first-generation college student, entered Appalachian State Teachers' College (now Appalachian State University) in the fall of 1955. Her goal was to be a secondary school teacher. While an undergraduate, she participated in the usual departmental clubs and organizations. Her favorites were the dance organizations that allowed students to dance in campus productions and programs. She was president of her "dormitory" and served on the governing council. She was a member of the May Court as Maid of Honor. While she was enrolled at Appalachian State, a college of approximately eighteen hundred students, she enjoyed being in the company of faculty and staff who knew her, who were her friends and mentors, and who would spend time with her and other students in informal settings and in their homes. Daye graduated from Appalachian State Teachers's College in 1959 with a bachelor's degree. She remained to complete her master's degree, and then left to become a secondary school teacher, with the desire to return to Appalachian. Daye did return in 1968 and was an academic advisor, a faculty member, and a member of the Student Development staff. Her first appointment in Student Development was associate dean of students. She spent the majority of her time with students, working with them in a variety of ways from curfew violations to deaths in their families. Day also selected and trained resident assistants and did campus programming. While Appalachian State would grow in size, numbers, prestige, and programs, Daye was determined that the Appalachian family concept would continue to be prominent in her work. Students would be important. She would be an advocate to assist them (and their parents) in dealing with issues and concerns, particularly when they were in stressful/crisis situations. While at Appalachian, Daye worked to establish such programs as Family Weekend, the Appalachian Child Development Center, Honors Day, Family Day Memorial Service (a program to celebrate the lives of students who pass away while enrolled as students), Parent Orientation and Parents Association, and the annual Walk for Awareness. All of these programs reach across divisional lines and are supported by faculty, staff, and administrators throughout the campus. Daye was also responsible for being a "first responder" in campus crises and emergencies and for assisting faculty in dealing with student issues. Daye was a member of the following professional organizations: National Association for Women in Education (National Newsletter Editor), North Carolina Association for Women in Education (secretary, membership committee chair, president), National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (Region II Review Editor), and American College Personnel Association. In March 2002, Daye was granted emerita status by the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees. In 2007, she received the Outstanding Center of Influence Honor by the North Carolina National Guard for her work with the Family Readiness Group of the 1451st Transportation Company.

Arriving in the fall of 1969, Dr. Curd spent his entire teaching career at Appalachian State University. He worked with university-wide programs like Upward Bound for high school enhancement and the Appalachian Partnership Program for college credit of Appalachian courses in mathematics for students still in high schools. Favorite projects done in calculus classes were his design of the "radar problem" (a patrolman takes a speed reading when not on the tangent to the path of travel) and the "falling lady" problem (a lady falls from a moving airplane over a lake at about 1,000 feet). Students remember these applications and the pig and cattle stories for many years. Dr. Curd's serious hobby interests include golf and farming. He has maintained a farming operation throughout his years of service to Appalachian State University. He and Theresa reside in nearby Ashe County, in their one-hundred-year-old farmhouse, where they are surrounded by streams, woodland, wildlife, and their herd of purebred Simmental cattle.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Psychology Joyce Crouch (December 25, 1925-) was born in Riverton, Tennessee. She graduated with highest distinction from Tennessee Technological University, receiving her B.S. degree in secondary education, with English as her academic area, in 1954. In 1959, she received her M.A. degree in curriculum and instruction from Tennessee Technological University, again with English as her academic area. She attended the NDEA Institute in English, linguistics, and semantics at George Peabody College for Teachers in 1964, and, in August 1968, earned her Ed.D. degree in educational psychology and guidance from the University of Tennessee. Crouch began her career in education as an elementary teacher at Fentress County schools in Jamestown, Tennessee, where she taught third, fourth, and fifth grades from 1954 to 1959. From 1959 to 1966, she served as an English teacher and guidance counselor at the Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute in Jamestown, Tennessee. Crouch joined the staff of Appalachian State University in 1967 as an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology. In 1968, she was promoted to associate professor and in 1975 earned the rank of full professor, a position she held until her retirement as professor emerita in 1990. Crouch served as an administrative intern for Affirmative Action in 1973-74 where she did a simply outstanding job. She held the position of chair of the Department of Psychology from 1975 to 1987. Considering affiliation with professional organizations to be one way of demonstrating commitment to the goals of the profession and of keeping abreast of vital issues facing the profession, Crouch maintained membership in the American Psychological Association, Division Thirty-five, of the American Psychological Association (Psychology of Women); in the Southeastern Psychological Association; the Society for Research in Child ; Development; in the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma (of which she served as president from 1972 to 1974); in Phi Kappa Phi (of which she served as president from 1981 to 1983); Psi Chi, in Rho Chi Sigma (life member), and in the North Carolina Association of Women Deans, Administrators, and Counselors. She also served the latter organization as a member of the research committee from 1984 to 1990 and president of that committee from 1987 to 1989. Crouch was licensed as a practicing psychologist in the state of North Carolina but considered teaching to be her primary professional responsibility. She taught eleven undergraduate courses, including general, developmental, and education psychology; introductory and intermediate statistics; principles of learning; and psychology of difference, a course that she initiated in 1974. As a member of the graduate faculty, Crouch also taught four graduate courses on a regular basis. These included child, adolescent, and advanced developmental psychology and research problems. She also served on numerous thesis committees, encouraging thesis students to work toward publication of their research findings. During her tenure at Appalachian State University, Crouch served on several committees with responsibilities for university business. She served on the task force on equal employment opportunity in 1972-73. She chaired the university academic freedom and tenure committee in 1975-76. She was a member of the board for Watauga Youth Network from 1986 to 1988. From 1978 to 1980, she was a member of the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Practicing Psychologists. During her term as chair of this committee, the first hearing of a complaint regarding the violation of academic freedom was conducted in the university under the committee's leadership. She was a member of the Appalachian faculty senate from 1971 to 1975, serving as the secretary in 1972-73 and as the chair of the committee on faculty welfare in 1973-74. From 1972 to 1977, Crouch was a delegate from Appalachian to the University of North Carolina Faculty Assembly. She was guest editor of Research News during the spring of 1986. From 1986 to 1990, she was a member of the advisory council for the Counseling and Psychological Services Center, and from 1987 to 1990, she served as faculty advisor to Sigma Kappa sorority. Crouch's efforts in the area of research, publications, and presentations have been prolific. Among them are: • "Deidentification in Two Child Families," Journal of Adolescent Research, July 1990. (With Rosa D. Neaves). • "Effects of Running and Other Activities on Moods," Perceptual and Motor Skills, 67:43-50,1989. (With John B. Dyer III). • "Perceived Child-Rearing Dimensions and Assertiveness," Adolescence, 93:179-191, 1989. (With Patricia B. Neilson). • "From Traditionalist to Playboy: Sex Attitude Change in the College Years," NCPGA Journal, December 1971. (With Mary L. Powell). Crouch also led a workshop with Mary L. Powell which focused on career development for university secretaries. Dr. Crouch has been in private practice (solo) sine her retirement, and, with continued good health, she plans on a couple of years more before she "closes the books."

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of English Coulthard was born in Saltville, Virginia, in 1939, and was the first member of his family of six to attend college. He was captain of the football team and president of the student body his senior year of high school. Dr. Coulthard married Betty Lynn Nelson, of North Miami, Florida, in 1963. She is presently serving as a missionary in India. The Coulthards have five children, two of whom are adopted: Scott, who works in academic testing in Wilmington; Amy, award-winning elementary school teacher, who is married to a professor at Amherst; Brian, who owns three clubs in Gretna, Louisana; Taimico, who is freelancing in England; and Jeffrey, a Coast Guardsman engaged in terrorist intervention. Dr. and Mrs. Coulthard have eight grandchildren. After graduating from Concord College in 1962, Coulthard went on to earn an M.A. and a Ph.D. degree from Florida State, where he received an Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award. After teaching a year each at the University of Tennessee and Florida A & M, he found a home at Appalachian State University, where he served under four chairs during his thirty-four years here. For nine years, he was in charge of the freshman writing program. Dr. Coulthard was twice nominated for teaching awards. Three of his prize students are Don Secreast, who has published two volumes of short stories and is a professor at Radford University; Rod Smith, whose poems have twice been nominated for a Pulitzer and who is editor of Shenandoah at Washington & Lee; and Charles Frazier, author of Cold Mountain. Other students Dr. Coulthard remembers with a special fondness are Cathy Dibello, who Coulthard says had read more books as an undergraduate than he had as her professor; David Cook, amateur poet and professional physician; Chris Yopp, who named his daughter Flannery after Flannery O'Connor from Coulthard's American literature seminar; and Chris Coxe, community college chair and newspaper columnist. Coulthard's proudest professional achievements are his thirty-five articles and his textbook, The Writer's Craft, which was used in Freshman English at Appalachian State for seven years. Since his retirement, two of Courtland's articles have been excerpted in college literature anthologies and a third CD-rommed. Dr. Coulthard is enjoying retirement on his twelve acres in Poplar Grove, where he shares tomatoes with groundhogs and deer. He states that his hobbies of gardening, landscaping, and carpentry are more productive than the poker and pocket billiards of his younger days, though not quite as much fun. He now adds that, "getting old is not for sissies." Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Dr. Kay R.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emerita of Theatre and Dance Susan Stockbridge Cole (January 26,1939-), a native of San Francisco, California, a fourth generation Californian was born to Martha Rosenauer (1918-1988) and Elmer Leroy Stockbridge (1910-1983). She has one brother, David Edward Stockbridge (1945-) who lives in Boone, North Carolina. Cole graduated from Carlmont High School in 1956 where she was active in journalism and theatre activities. She attended Stanford University, majoring in theatre and earned her A.B. degree in April 1960. She went on to complete an M.A. degree in theatre, with an emphasis on scenic and lighting design in August 1961. While a student, she worked summers as a production assistant at the University of British Columbia in 1959 and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 1960 and 1961. In 1961-62 she worked as a designer for the Menlo Players Guild and other local theatres. She obtained her Junior College teaching certificate from the University of California, Berkeley during the summer of 1962. Cole began her teaching career at Bakersfield College, Bakersfield, California in 1962 where she was the scenographer (designer of sets, lights and costumes) and technical director and taught the technical theatre courses. While there, she discovered a love for directing and decided to pursue further education in that area. The first full-length play that she directed in 1968 was Robert Bolt's A Man for All Seasons. The next year she directed her first Shakespearean play, Macbeth. The next step, in 1969, was graduate study at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon where Cole studied theatre history and directing in the Ph.D. degree program in theatre. She worked as technical director and later taught theatre history and oral interpretation. She continued to direct, while there, in both a Shakespearean Repertory Company (King Lear) and a summer stock company. After completing her dissertation on "Productions at Niblo's Garden Theatre, 1862-1868 during the Management of William Wheatley" in 1972, she went on to teach at Keuka College in Keuka, New York for three years. She was hired as the theatre teacher in the English department and formed and chaired a Department of Theatre and Dance during her second year. She then formed and chaired a Department of Fine Arts during the next year. She directed and designed two or three plays each year, including two more Shakespearean plays. In 1975, Cole was appointed Director of Theatre at Appalachian State University in the Speech Department in which she was the third theatre faculty member. Her charge was to develop the theatre area and to strengthen the children's theatre and creative drama areas. She continued to direct plays, as well as teach theatre history, dramatic literature, directing, and introduction to theatre, voice and diction, and speech. The program began to grow, and more faculty members were added, while Cole sought improvements to Chapell Wilson Auditorium, the old Appalachian High School building. The formation of the separate department was delayed by an early discussion about creating a College of Fine and Performing Arts. Finally, the Department of Theatre and Dance was created in 1989, with five theatre teachers and one dance teacher. Cole served as acting chair for two years and finally as regular chair in 1991, a position she held until her retirement in 2005. The promised new theatre was never built, but funds were finally obtained for the renovation of Chapell Wilson Auditorium into a completely rebuilt Valborg Theatre in 1994. Cole directed more than forty plays during her time at Appalachian, both for the University Theatre and An Appalachian Summer Festival. The plays have run the gamut from an original musical through comedies and tragedies, to another seven Shakespearean productions, culminating in the 2002 production of Hamlet. Her final play for Appalachian was a production in the fall of 2003 of A Man for All Seasons, the play with which she started directing.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Geology John Edward Callahan (February 26, 1941-) was born in Buffalo, New York, the son of Elizabeth Catherine Grimmer and Edward John Callahan. He has two siblings, Edward John Callahan and Elizabeth Callahan Anderson. Callahan received both a B.A. degree in geology (1963) and an M.Ed, degree in science education (1965) from the State University of New York at Buffalo. In 1968, he received a M.S. degree in geology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and in 1973 he received a Ph.D. degree in geology from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. While in graduate school at Chapel Hill and at Queen's University, Callahan was a geology teaching assistant. He began teaching in the Department of Geology at Appalachian State University in 1970. During summers, Dr. Callahan worked for various mining companies in the United States and Canada and for the United States Geological Survey in the Challis area of Idaho. He also conducted over sixty teacher workshops on various aspects of the earth sciences and received many grants to support these workshops. One of his passions was obtaining summer jobs with mining and environmental companies for his geology majors. Another was to provide teachers with teaching supplies for their elementary and high school students. Dr. Callahan received recognition for his work with teachers from the North Carolina Science Teachers Association when he received their 1997 award for distinguished service in science education in North Carolina. Callahan was involved in many environmental projects in Boone. He, along with other university faculty, was responsible for the following environmental projects: acquisition of the Howard's Knob park; the start of aluminum and newspaper recycling in Boone; and bikeways in Boone, as well as the old university gardens, located off of State Farm Road, and modeled after World War II Victory Gardens. His research on mercury pollution in old gold mining areas led to a ban on gold dredging in the national forests of the southeastern United States. Dr. Callahan continues to work with young children and teachers, and he particularly loves going out into the local school systems to talk about minerals and rocks and about his work on the Blackbeard shipwreck project, the Queen Anne's Revenge off Beaufort, North Carolina. He is actively involved with his colleagues Dr. William Miller at the University of North Carolina (Asheville) and Dr. James Craig of Emerald Isle, North Carolina, in trying to locate the source of the ballast stones found at the wreck site. During his career he has published almost twenty papers covering various aspects of mineral deposits and exploration for mineral deposits in the United States and Canada. He is the co-editor of a special volume of Southeastern Geology on the Blackbeard shipwreck that was published in February of 2001. It can also be found on the Queen Anne's Web Site. Dr. Callahan, who retired from Appalachian State University in 2002, continues to work in his garden and greenhouse. His special loves are hiking, biking, and corresponding with former majors. He continues to take Spanish classes and spends some winters in Mexico practicing the language. On many rainy days and snowy nights, he reads a wide variety of books and recommends that everyone consider reading Barbara Kingsolver's series of essays in a small publication entitled Small Wonder.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Accounting Franklin Eugene Butts (March 18, 1935-) was born in Yell County, Arkansas, the seventh son of Hazel Rutledge and Vernie Arthur Butts. Butts graduated from Landis High School in 1951 and then served four years in the United States Navy. He earned his B.S. degree (1959) from Appalachian State University (then Appalachian State Teachers' College). He also earned an M.A. degree (1963) from Appalachian, where one of his accomplishments was serving as Yosef, the mascot of the Mountaineers. Butts also attended the University of Northern Colorado, where he received an Ed.D. degree in 1969 and where his dissertation won the Delta Pi Epsilon National Research Award. Butts married Shirley Ann Osborne on June 7, 1958, in Landis, North Carolina. They met while both were students at Appalachian. The couple has two children: Del Eugene Butts (June 19, 1959-), who earned his B.S.B.A. degree from Appalachian and now resides in the Raleigh, North Carolina, area, and Amy Leigh Butts Winebarger (July 26, 1961-), who also earned a B.S.B.A. degree from Appalachian. Amy is married to John Thayer Winebarger and the couple has two sons, Austin Thayer (January 28, 1991-), and Adam Stanley (July 23, 1996-). Amy and her family live in the Todd, North Carolina area. Following three years as a cost accountant with Burlington Industries, Butts' teaching career began at South Georgia College. He then taught at Delta State University for eight years, joining the accounting faculty at Appalachian in 1977. He retired from his position as professor of accounting in December 1997. During his career, Butts served as the first advisor to Appalachian's Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, subsequently serving the national organization as regional director, member of the board of directors, and president. Butts' term as president coincided with the seventy-fifth anniversary of the organization. Butts will be remembered at Appalachian as a very caring and concerned faculty member and colleague. During his tenure, he received outstanding teacher awards, led several study abroad trips, taught in the university Freshman Seminar series, and served on the faculty senate. Butts' wife, Shirley, retired as director of the College of Business Advising Center at Raley Hall in 1998. His daughter Amy's office is also located in Raley Hall. Butts will undoubtedly be very involved with grandsons Austin and Adam, providing banana pudding from Mary's Kitchen (a local restaurant) to the workers in the Advising Center, and fishing with son Del at their beach house on the North Carolina coast. Butts' still maintains an office in the Department of Accounting and has already served as substitute teacher for several accounting classes.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Chemistry James Wesley Buchanan (May 5, 1937-), was born in Union Mills, North Carolina. He graduated from high school in Hickory, North Carolina, in 1955. He attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill from 1955 to 1959, where he was a John Motley Morehead Scholar. Buchanan was awarded an A.B. degree in chemistry in 1959. His graduate degrees include a M.S. degree (chemistry) from the University of Florida (1962), a Ph.D. degree (radiation chemistry) from the University of Florida (1968), and an M.B.A. degree from Wake Forest University (1974). From 1962 to 1963, Buchanan served as instructor of chemistry and physics at The Woman's College of Georgia, and he attended graduate school at Duke University during the 1963-64 academic year. He was head of the chemistry and physics department at Gaston Community College from 1964 until 1966. During the summer of 1965, he did radiation chemical research at the University of Tennessee under a National Science Foundation summer faculty grant. From this research he published (with Ffrancon Williams) a paper on the radiolysis of liquids (Journal of Chemical Physics, 1966). Buchanan joined the faculty of Salem College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1968, as assistant professor of chemistry. He was associate professor and head of the Department of Chemistry and Physics from 1970 to 1975 and taught general, inorganic, and physical chemistry. During the summers of 1969 and 1970, he worked as a staff chemist at the R.J. Reynolds laboratory in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, publishing (with Karol J. Mysels) a paper on very small film contact angles (Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Electrochemistry, 1971). During that same period, three papers from his dissertation research in radiation chemistry were published (with R.J. Hanrahan), concerning the effects of Cobalt-60 gamma radiation on phosphine and phosphine-ammonia systems (Radiation Research, 1970). In 1975, Buchanan left Salem College and assumed the position of senior environmental chemist in the Environmental Engineering Division of the Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. There he did contract research funded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. He wrote numerous air quality data assurance manuals, which were used for both ambient and industrial air sampling and analysis. Dr. Buchanan joined the faculty of Appalachian State University as professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry in 1977. In 1981, he resigned as department chair and assumed full-time duties as professor of chemistry. Buchanan taught general, inorganic and physical chemistry lectures and laboratories until 1992, when he retired from teaching. From 1990 until 1996, he directed the University's Program for the Study of Environmental Change, an administrative unit which helped procure funding for faculty engaged in various types of environmental research. Buchanan directed the M.S. degree research projects for five graduate students. All projects concerned various aspects of air monitoring and associated atmospheric chemistry. He procured funding for these students' theses projects from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and from the (then) Duke Power Company. Publications resulted from two theses, one involving particle source assessment near Spruce Pine, North Carolina (Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1984), with J. Breiner. The second concerned a refinement of the potassium tracer method for measurement of residential wood smoke (Atmospheric Environment, 1989), with C. Calloway, S. Li, and R. K. Stevens. In 1982-83, Buchanan was granted an off-campus leave and worked with Professor Brian Thrush at Cambridge University, Cambridge, England. Their research involved use of a tunable diode laser to measure recombination times of atmospheric radicals, and resulted in a publication (with G. Tyndall) in Chemical Physics Letters (1983). He returned to Cambridge University in the summers of 1984 and 1985, continuing his work with Professor Thrush. After his teaching retirement in 1992, Buchanan remained at Appalachian State University as an adjunct professor until 1996, after which he was awarded emeritus status.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Anthropology Brian Carey Bennett (July 19, 1937-) was born in Portage, Wisconsin, to Helen Case Hinkley, a school teacher and graduate of the School of Commerce at the University of Wisconsin, and Ross Bennett, a noted lawyer, businessman, sportsman, and pioneer conservationist in Wisconsin. The Hinkleys came to the United States in the 1640s and the Case family was one of the founding families of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Ross Bennett's family came to Endeavor, Wisconsin, in 1850 from Accrington, England. Brian Bennett's great-grandfather, David Bennett, was a farmer and served in the Civil War in the cavalry of the Wisconsin Green Bay Company. Bennett attended Portage High School, lettering in five different sports and holding the conference track record for the 880. He then went on to Beloit College as a third- generation legacy student. At Beloit, he lettered in cross-country and was recruited his junior year to be a defensive tackle and offensive end on the football team, possibly the only defensive tackle in American football ever to be recruited from a cross-country team. He also lettered in football and track. Bennett graduated from Beloit in 1960 with a B.A. degree in economics. He attended the University of Wisconsin Law School, but returned to Beloit College for postgraduate work in education in 1962-63 when he realized he wanted to pursue a career in teaching. He taught high school economics and social science and was the curling coach at Wausau, Wisconsin, from 1963 until 1966. The school allowed him to create his own courses of study, which emphasized civil rights, nuclear disarmament, the United Nations and world federalism, tolerance of the Marxist experiment in the Third World, and understanding and tolerance of the other Great Religions. He also became very involved in the local anti-United States involvement in Vietnam movement, an interest that he would carry to graduate school, where he helped organize the closure of Southern Illinois University because of its cooperation with the United States involvement in Vietnam. In 1967, Bennett decided that one should have a career in the field that he or she might love, and, returning to that one undergraduate introductory course in anthropology, he was accepted into the graduate program at Southern Illinois University. With no background in anthropology and with graduate assistantships, he completed his Ph.D. degree in 1971. Bennett conducted his dissertation research in "Communist" Yugoslavia, publishing his community ethnographic study, Sutivan: A Dalmatian Village In Social and Economic Transition in 1974. He would go on to publish over twenty articles on socioeconomic and political change in what would become a longitudinal study of a Croatian/Dalmatian community as an example of a country with a Marxist experiment, of the collapse of that country into war and the subsequent attempt at capitalism and democracy in the 1990s. He continues to publish about Sutivan. In 1971, Bennett came to Appalachian State University to fulfill his primary focus, teaching anthropology. In his twenty-seven years at the university, he offered over twenty different courses which reflected his interest in not only Yugoslavia (Croatia) and Eastern Europe, but also in theory in anthropology. His interest in anthropological theory, modernism to postmodernism, structuralism to post-structuralism, led to his being awarded a Fulbright Lectureship at Quid i Azam University, Pakistan, in 1979 to develop their graduate Ph.D. program in applied anthropology. Unfortunately, he and his family were evacuated out of Pakistan as the 1979 seizure of the United States Embassy in Iran influenced the burning of the United States Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, and the killing of several embassy employees. Bennett was reassigned to the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnography at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he taught a seminar on network analysis (a Norwegian/English/Dutch anthropological theoretical development) and spent a semester reading Marxist anthropological theory. In the early 1980s, Bennett shifted his interest to economic and political globalization in Mexico and Central America, taking Appalachian State students to Mexico in 1982, and was a member of the Carolina Interfaith Task Force on Central America's observational team to Nicaragua in 1983 to interview Sandinista government officials about the United States-funded Contra war. These interests were reflected in his teaching at Appalachian. In 1987, Bennett was selected to represent Appalachian State as a member of the North Carolina Bridges for Peace delegation to the United Soviet Socialist Republics, and with this reorientation to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, he re-established his research in Yugoslavia/Croatia. In 1988-89, Bennett digressed with an off-campus scholarly assignment year in Cairo, Egypt, which permitted him time not only to read about and learn Pharaonic/Islamic Egypt, as well as read postmodern theory, but to be with his present wife, Kristine Anne Newman, who was a teacher at Cairo American College. Since 1987, Bennett has returned to Croatia almost every year to do research, write, and lecture. In 1994-95, he was awarded a Fulbright lectureship to the Institute for Anthropological Research, Zagreb, to lecture on anthropological theory and to develop the sociocultural component to their biological anthropology Ph.D. program and their research in human genetics. The Presidency of the Croatian Anthropological Society awarded Bennett the "Goijanovic Kramberger Medal for Anthropology" for 1995, recognizing his contribution to the development of anthropology in Croatia and stating that Bennett "has clearly shown through his involvement an understanding of our problems and need for international scientific cooperation and research programs.... We thank him for outstanding contribution to the promotion of anthropological science in Croatia and particularly for his great moral support to the Croatian people in their struggle for freedom and independence." This moral support included experiencing a Serbian rocket and cluster bomb assault on Zagreb, the killing and wounding of innocent civilians, and a subsequent evacuation from the city by the United States Embassy staff. The Bennetts were ordered back to the states; however, Dr. Bennett returned to Zagreb to finish his editing and publication of a special edition of the institute's journal dealing with the war, and Kristine returned to finish her teaching at the American School of Zagreb. In the summers of 1997 and 1998, Bennett continued lecturing for the institute as a Rotary International University Professor. Bennett's daughter, Sabrina Helen Bennett Hardenbergh, has a Ph.D. degree in medical anthropology. She did her research in Madagascar. His son, Langdon Bennett, has a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering and physics. He worked in research for the Japanese government and is presently doing research at Los Alamos, New Mexico, although he cannot divulge what he does for the United States Government. Another son, Ian Sean, works in computer animation and photo enhancement, while Brian Carey II is an assistant manager for a country club in Prescott, Arizona. Bennett retired in June of 1998, only from the classroom at Appalachian State, not from anthropology. He was awarded faculty emeritus status by the Board of Trustees at that time. He will continue to be affiliated with the institute in Zagreb and will continue research and writing on Croatia. Mrs. Bennett accepted a librarian's position at an international school in Izmir, Turkey, in 1998-2000 and in Seoul, South Korea, in 2001-2002. The Bennetts continue their international and anthropological experience with extensive travel abroad. Presently, they live in Los Alamos, New Mexico to be near grandchildren and where Kristine is a library/ media specialist in the Los Alamos schools. A great-uncle, Dr. Merlin Ennis, has always been an inspiration for Dr. Bennett. Dr. Ennis, who was a missionary in Umbundu for forty years, collected and translated Umbundu Folk Tales From Africa. This collection was published when he was eighty-eight years old. A proverb from this collection follows: "There is chaff in my eye, a crocodile has me by the leg, the goat is in the garden, there is a porcupine cooking in the pot, meal is drying on the pounding rock, the king has summoned me to court, and I have to go to my mother-in-law's funeral: I am busy."

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of Political Science/ Criminal Justice Jawad Barghothi (June 2, 1938-) was born in the city of Jerusalem to a Palestinian father and a Turkish mother. He had a normal childhood for the first ten years of his life; however, after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, Barghothi became incensed about what happened to his people, the Palestinians. As he witnessed the injustices inflicted on them, he vowed to do what he could to remedy these inequities. By the age of sixteen, indelibly impressed with the events of 1948, Barghothi became involved in the politics of the Middle East, where he led student uprisings in Jerusalem against the Jordanian government and its Western support. In the spring of 1956, Barghothi graduated from high school and entered Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, where he successfully earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics. In the fall of 1961, he entered graduate school. The political environment in the Middle East at that time influenced Barghothi to change his academic field from mathematics to government. He graduated with a master's degree in government in 1963. After working as a math instructor in a high school in O'Fallon, Missouri, from 1963 to 1965, he returned to Southern Illinois University to pursue a Ph.D. in government (political science), with a concentration in international politics. Graduating in 1968, he then accepted a position at Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, where he taught for one year. In 1969, Barghothi married Barbara, his lovely companion since that time. He also accepted a position at Appalachian State University in the fall of 1969. Dr. Barghothi became very active in regional political science associations, where he delivered several papers each year, related to the past and the future of the Middle East. Barghothi took a sabbatical leave in 1980 when he, his wife, and two children went to live and work in occupied Palestine. He and Barbara worked at the University of Beir Zeit, where Dr. Barghothi taught political philosophy and his wife taught psychology. Due, however, to the occupation policy of Israel, Dr. Barghothi was forced to leave his native home once again by order of the military governor of the occupied West Bank. In July 1981, he and his family came back to Boone, where he continued to teach at Appalachian State University and participate in regional conferences of political science. Dr. Barghothi retired in 2003 after a teaching career of almost forty years, including three years teaching in the Appalachian State University phased-retirement system. He and his wife then went to live in Mexico for four-and-a-half months, where he taught two political science courses at the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico, in the spring semester of 2004. During this time, the couple enjoyed touring Mexico and learning firsthand about the lives of the Mexican people. In August of 2004, Barghothi accepted a position as a professor with the Semester at Sea Program, where he taught three classes aboard a ship while journeying around the world. In retirement, he and his wife pursue a very busy travel schedule. Dr. Barghothi continues to enjoy lecturing on cruise ships, while both he and his wife enrich their lives through opportunities to continue teaching and study abroad. Dr. Barghothi was awarded emeritus status by the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees on April 29, 2005. Sources: Appalachian State University files and personal correspondence. -Kay R.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Biographical Text Associate Professor Emeritus of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science Evan Hamilton Ashby, Jr. (August 18, 1923-) was born in Remington, Virginia, to Grace and Evan Ashby. His father was the local pharmacist and his mother a school teacher. He graduated from John Barton Payne High School in Remington at the age of fifteen and entered Randolph-Macon College with the class of 1944. Graduating in September 1943 with a B.S. degree in general science, he was employed briefly as an assistant instructor in the Department of Chemistry at Randolph-Macon College, with plans to enter the University of Virginia in the next few months. Instead, Ashby was inducted into the United States Army, and, after medical basic training, stayed at Camp Grant, Illinois, as cadre. Later he was an officer candidate at the Medical Field Service School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Medical Administrative Corps. Serving at Fort Lewis, Washington, and Bushnell General Hospital in Utah, he completed his tour of duty as administrative assistant to the division surgeon of the 86th Infantry Division in the Philippines. He was present on the reviewing stand with General Douglas MacArthur when the Philippines received its independence on July 4, 1946, a memorable occasion. Returning to Virginia, he entered the School of Medicine at the University of Virginia and graduated with an M.D. degree in 1951. He took an internship and residency at Norfolk (Virginia) General Hospital and married Helen Louise Mace, a graduate of the school of nursing at the University of Virginia. They have three children, Kee (1954), Evan III (1955-), and Will (1957-). Back home in Remington, Virginia, in 1953, Dr. Ashby owned and operated the Remington Medical Center and did general practice for sixteen years. During that time he was elected mayor of Remington for four terms and served one term as a member of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. Becoming interested in sports medicine, Dr. Ashby accepted a position as director of medical services at Appalachian State University in September 1969 and was appointed an associate professor in 1971. He was active in classroom- and residence-life programs involving medically pertinent matters relating to healthy living. In the community, he was a member of the Watauga County Emergency and Rescue Squad, serving as chief for a number of years. He taught Emergency Medical Technicians then and has continued to be involved with the group in Boone. Dr. Ashby has been affiliated professionally with the Medical Societies of Virginia and North Carolina, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of General Practice and its Virginia affiliate, and is a fellow of the American College Health Association, serving two years as the chair of the Athletics Medical Section. Additional memberships include the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers Association. He has also had appointments to the attending staff of Watauga County Medical Center, Boone, North Carolina, served as chief of staff at the Fauquier County Hospital in Warrenton, Virginia, before moving to North Carolina and still holds an appointment as medical examiner for North Carolina and a similar appointment for Carroll County, Virginia. Dr. Ashby served on the Emergency Medical Service Committee of the Region D Council of Governments for a number of years, two of which were as chair. When he retired in 1991, the university named the training room in the field house the Evan H. Ashby Sports Medicine Room. After attending 306 consecutive football games, home and away, he finally missed a game. He still attends the home games in Boone and enjoys photographing the games and giving the prints to the players. Upon retirement, Dr. Ashby returned to his native Virginia and lives along the Blue Ridge Parkway at Cascade Mountain Resort, outside Fancy Gap, Virginia. His wife, Dr. Deanna Bowman, formerly director of academic computing at Appalachian State University has also retired and spends most of her time landscaping their cottage grounds. Dr. Ashby is active in the Cana, Virginia, Volunteer Fire Department, routinely attending fire schools such as the Emergency Vehicle Operation, Hazmat Awareness, and other associated endeavors. He even gets to drive a fire truck and run the engine sometimes, and his wife always asks upon his return: "did you get to squirt water?" Dr. Ashby's hobbies continue to be mainly photography, and he has about given up on his desire to build and run a model railroad. The eight grandchildren are growing. Reading and writing to old friends occupies much of Dr. Ashby's time. He returns to his first alma mater, Randolph-Macon College, for the annual Old Grads Association meetings and finds himself still able to "cut a rug" when the band plays 1940s music. In the spring of 2001, he became a "patriarch" of the University of Virginia School of Medicine Alumni Association, commemorating having graduated fifty years previously.

Todd teaches English as a second language at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Dr. Allen's career began in 1961 as an assistant sales manager in the Norfolk, Virginia, office of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia. After a year with the telephone company, Allen decided to enter the teaching field, his major area of specialization. His thirty-eight years of teaching began at Martinsville High School, Martinsville, Virginia, where he served as the distributive education teacher-coordinator from 1961 to 1966. After completing his M.Ed., Allen moved to Gainesville Community College, Gainesville, Georgia, to start, in 1966, a new program in marketing education.

In 1977, Dr. Allen made his final academic move to Appalachian State University, where he was a professor in the Department of Business Education and Office Administration in the College of Business for twenty-three years. His major assignment was to design and develop a teaching degree in marketing education. The College of Business was reorganized in 1984, and Allen and other department members were assigned to the Management Department. In addition to teaching marketing education courses in that department, Allen taught several management courses. Allen also served as the coordinator for business offerings in the Bachelor of Technology program for the last fourteen years of its existence. Additionally, during that time, Allen taught many of the business courses to Bachelor of Technology students in cluster groups throughout central North Carolina.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Occupation Professor Emeritus Biographical Text Professor Emeritus of History Jefferson Max Dixon (September 6, 1921 ), retired college professor and administrator, was born in Leary, Georgia, the son of Jesse Maxwell and Lucile Hammond Dixon. Dixon graduated from Arlington High School, Georgia in 1938. He met his future wife, Theota Mervin (Pete or Petey) Clark later that year in an algebra class while attending Norman Junior College (Baptist), Norman Park, Georgia. Theota Dixon (June 21,1921 ) was born in Ashford, Alabama, the daughter of James Grady and Bernice Jones Clark. She is one of twin girls, dubbed by their grandfather as "Pete" and "Dick." In 1940 Dixon and Clark graduated from Norman Junior College. Dixon at the time was awarded the Friedlander Cup as most outstanding graduate. He had edited the Norman Junior College school paper and had been president of the sophomore class. In the early 1940s Theota Clark taught three years in elementary schools in Norman Park and Morgan, Georgia. Max Dixon went to work in Atlanta and began his studies in architecture at the Georgia School of Technology. Some months after Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), however, he was selected for military service and was inducted into the United States Army at Atlanta's Fort McPherson. Dixon was sent to a school for radio operators and spent the winter of 1942-43 (thirteen weeks) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Upon graduation from "R.O. School," he was selected for officer training and sent first to Boca Raton, Florida (for military training) and then to Yale University (for technical training). Then he went to the west coast for temporary duty in San Diego and Los Angeles as lieutenant in the Army Air Corps. Afterwards, while stationed at Moses Lake Army Air Base in Washington (state), he was married to Theota Clark on June 25,1944 in the army chapel. Theota had been driven across the country for the occasion by his parents. Some months later Dixon embarked from Salt Lake City to Alaska and the far Aleutian Islands. On the way back home, after over a year on the islands, he was shipwrecked, narrowly escaping drowning and was able to save only some pictures of his wife. Dixon was separated from the Army at San Antonio, Texas in October, 1946, after serving four years. After the war, the Dixons lived in Atlanta, where Theota attended the University of Georgia, Atlanta Division, and Max attended Emory University. Theota was awarded her degree in Commercial Science in 1948 and Max his A.B. degree in history the same year. Later that year, while Theota worked in the Emory library, Max entered graduate school there on a tuition scholarship. He was awarded the M.A. degree in history in 1949. His Masters thesis was: "Georgia Railroad Growth and Development, 1865-1917." The first professional employment for both the Dixons was in 1949 in Cherokee County, in North Georgia above Atlanta-Max accepted a position at Reinhardt College in Waleska, where he served as registrar, as well as instructor in history. Theota taught third and fourth grades in the county schools, but in late 1950 was in a serious automobile accident and for a while was not expected to live. After two years at Reinhardt, the couple moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where Max commenced doctoral studies at George Peabody College for Teachers (now George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University), and Theota worked at the library school on campus. Dixon received the Ph.D. degree in history in 1953. His dissertation was: "The Central Railroad of Georgia. 1833-1892." In that year, the Dixons returned to Waleska and Reinhardt, where Dixon served three years as dean and registrar. In 1956 the Dixons moved to Boone. North Carolina, where Max joined the Social Studies faculty of Appalachian State Teachers College (now Appalachian State University). Mrs. Dixon worked in the college's library in 1957-58. Professor Dixon taught a variety of history courses, including World Civilization and American history surveys. He taught three graduate courses fairly regularly: Formation of the American Union. History of United States Foreign Policy, and Interpreting American History. Also, over the years, he taught a course on contemporary American history, which was a sophomore-level course on post-war (1945 ) American history and contemporary issues of American foreign and domestic policy. Professor Dixon's publications include: "Building the Central of Georgia Railroad," in Georgia Historical Quarterly. March, 1961. "Democracy and Liberalism: An Essay in Contrasts," in Social Studies. April, 1962. "History and the American Revolution, in Social Studies. February, 1968. "The Wataugans." For the Tennessee American Revolution Bicentennial Commission, 1976 "The Short Victory," in Horn in the West program book on the Battle of Kings Mountain. "The Other Wataugans," in Watauga County Times..past. December, 1982. Dixon also authored numerous assignment essays for students in his classes in America in the Contemporary World, on such topics as Watergate, the administration of Gerald Ford; Nixon and Vietnam; and economic policy options. At Appalachian State University, Professor Dixon served as the First chairman of the new history department from 1965 to 1969. He was also elected for a three-year term to the Faculty Senate in 1969; served as the Senate's secretary in the early 1970's; and served as the chairman of the Senate's Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee. With Deans Bozard and Williams, Dixon was editor of the university's Institutional Research and Self-Study in cooperation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1961-62. He was a chairman before and after 1976 of the campus American Revolution Bicentennial Committee. During these years Mrs. Dixon was a member in three campus women's organizations: the Ad-Mins, the Faculty Dames, and the Appalachian Woman's Club. She was a founding member of the Appalachian Garden Club. The Dixons were members over the years of the Boone United Methodist Church and, during the early years, were sponsors together of the Wesley Foundation, a campus ministry (new at Appalachian State University) to college students. For fourteen years in the 1960s and 1970s, Dr. Dixon was secretary of the Administrative Board of the church. In the Boone community, Dixon was a Rotarian during most of the 1960s and 1970s, serving as president in 1967-68. In 1971 he authored the Club's 81-page "Boone Rotary Club: Handbook and History 1948-1970." In the early 1980s, he served as chairman of the Mayor's ad hoc committee (one of thirteen) on preservation and restoration of historic buildings and sites. Professor Dixon retired from his position at Appalachian State University in 1983 but is fondly and respectfully remembered for his outstanding ability as a teacher/artist in the classroom by his students; for his consummate skill as an educational leader by his colleagues; and for his commitment to the community and his devotion to his church. The Dixon's are spending their retirement years in Bermuda Run near Winston-Salem and Caldwell County near Blowing Rock, North Carolina. This 1987 edition of The Appalachian Faculty Emeriti book is dedicated to Dr. Dixon (please see the Dedication page). Sources: Based on long association and personal interviews. - Dr. Richard D.
