W IN TER 2014 1 President’s Perspective I t is hard to believe that we have started the spring semester and are already well into 2014! My first year as president has been incredibly busy—but also extremely fulfilling. Randolph is a special place, and I have enjoyed getting to know our talented faculty, dedicated staff, and interesting students. One of my favorite parts of the fall semester, however, was my “road trip” to meet alumnae and alumni. In addition to several events locally, I was able to spend a few weeks visiting alumnae and alumni chapters all over the nation. I am looking forward to more of these trips this spring. These events have given me a unique opportunity to hear your stories about the College when you attended as well as to share with you what campus life is like now and answer your questions. This communication and engagement are a vital part of Randolph’s future. We have much to celebrate; our enrollment is growing, giving is up, and the campus is alive with energy. But we also have much work to do as we prepare for the College’s continued growth. The liberal arts are even more critical to this country’s future than ever as generations of young people learn to adapt and succeed in an ever-changing society. Randolph will play an important role in this national conversation. Our alumnae and alumni are a connection to our past, but you are also a link to our future. Who better to spread the word about this institution’s wonderful liberal arts curriculum, its amazing faculty, or the opportunities we afford to students than people who experienced it themselves? Who better than classmates to help us connect with alumnae and alumni who are not active? Who better to financially support this great institution than the women and men who benefited directly from the generosity of others during their college careers? We need you. We want you to be involved, to come back to campus and meet our students and faculty. Take a look at the amazing things happening behind the Red Brick Wall and become a part of our future! Vita abundantior! Bradley W. Bateman President “ We need you. We want you to be involved, to come back to campus and meet our students and faculty. Take a look at the amazing things happening behind the Red Brick Wall and become a part of our future! ” 2 B UL LETIN Life-long friends Minor Mickel Shaw ’69 and Jolley Bruce Christman ’69 receive College’s highest alumnae honor, the Alumnae Achievement Award W hen Minor Mickel Shaw ’69 stopped dating her high school sweetheart, her best friend Jolley Bruce Christman ’69 was sure the breakup would not last. She wagered they would eventually wed. “They were so right for each other,” Jolley said recently. “It was a little bit of wishful thinking because I wanted to be friends with both of them my whole life, and it would be easier if they were married.” A few years later she collected on her bet and gave the money to Minor and Hal as a wedding gift. Today, the marriage and friendship are as strong as ever, and the two women have shared many of life’s important moments together. One of those times came in September when Randolph College honored Minor and Jolley with Alumnae Achievement Awards for their years of service to their communities. Randolph College President Bradley W. Bateman presented the award. “Minor and Jolley are a real-life example of how the experiences gained at the College strengthen and impact the friendships and bonds formed by our students,” he said. The friends grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, where they knew many alumnae of Randolph-Macon Woman’s College, including Jolley’s mother, Mamie Jolley Bruce ’44. These associations prompted them to choose R-MWC themselves. Although Minor transferred to the University of North W IN TER 2014 Jolley Bruce Christman ’69, left, was excited to learn that Minor Mickel Shaw ’69, a life-long friend, would receive an Alumnae Achievement Award along with her. Carolina at Chapel Hill after two years, attending R-MWC had a profound influence on her life. “It was the best of both worlds to have those two years as my foundation in a small liberal arts environment,” she said. She particularly remembers classes by Philip Thayer, a renowned former history professor. “Dr. Thayer encouraged you to look at the big picture and then draw your conclusions,” Minor said. “That really continues to influence the way I think today.” Just after college, Minor began working in the banking industry, which eventually led to many opportunities to volunteer at United Way organizations. Meanwhile, Jolley studied urban education in graduate school. After earning her doctorate, she co-founded Research For Action, a nonprofit that aims to help policy makers educate disadvantaged students. Jolley served as a member of the College’s Board of Trustees for 10 years, including four years as chair of the Board. She considered her service a tribute to her mother. “What made me decide to become a trustee was the experience that my mom had at the College,” Jolley said. “I wanted to honor her because the College shaped my mother in a way that made her a really good mother.” When Jolley first learned she would receive an Alumnae Achievement Award, she was honored to be included among the long list of other incredible women who have received the award. It was not until the next day that she learned that Minor would be recognized as well. “That,” she said, “just made it that much more special.” 3 4 B UL LETIN Kacey Meaker ’08, a sixth year doctoral student at the University of California, Berkeley, teaches physics undergraduate Mandy Huo how to use an atomic force microscope. Photo credit: Robert Sanders/UC Berkeley Teaching inmates is just one way Kacey Meaker ’08 is giving back E very week, Kacey Meaker ’08 heads through the security checkpoint at San Quentin State Prison. She leaves her cell phone behind, but hauls in tennis balls, electric circuit kits, or math books. As she conducts math and physics lessons with the inmates, she almost forgets where she is. “I can’t really forget because they’re wearing prison clothes, and guards are walking around, but I don’t feel like I’m teaching in prison,” she said. “They’re very interesting people. They want to learn, and they want to get an education.” Kacey, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California at Berkeley, volunteers in a program that helps inmates earn associates degrees. “It gives them hope that, when they get out, they can make a difference and live better than they did before,” she said. It provides her a sense of satisfaction: helping others learn about science—regardless of where they are—is natural for Kacey. At Randolph, she helped start Science Day, which has morphed into the annual four-day Science Festival. As a senior, she led the construction of a human-sized hamster wheel to teach about electricity. “College was a very empowering experience,” Kacey said. “I knew that if I wanted to do something, I could make it happen.” Even before college, Kacey exhibited talent in the sciences, especially physics. She was on the U.S. Physics Team, a group of the best high school physics students in the country. Once she began studying at Randolph, she developed an interest in research. “Kacey is the ideal science student that is interested in everything she learns,” said physics professor Peter Sheldon. She shares that passion each summer when she works with high school students who learn about research at Berkeley. She also returns to Randolph to help students continue the physics of roller coaster research she began as a student with Sheldon. W IN TER 2014 Tim Slesinger ’14 has worked with Kacey for two summers on roller coaster research, in which they are using smartphones and other devices with accelerometers to map the physics of the ride. Last year, they also renovated the hamster wheel that Kacey helped build during her senior year. Tim said working with Kacey has taught him not only about science and research but also about determination and problem solving. “She won’t take no for an answer,” he said. “She knows there’s always more than one way to accomplish things. It’s just a matter of finding the best way.” Kacey’s doctoral research has focused on graphene, a material that could revolutionize solar cells and computer chips if its properties can be harnessed and controlled. “The work she is doing is cutting-edge,” Peter said. “Her research has the potential to make an impact in the future of technology.” The possibilities of the graphene research make Kacey bubble with excitement. She said there is a remote possibility that it could result in the discovery of a room-temperature superconductor, a breakthrough that has eluded scientists for decades. Although the path to such a discovery is unclear, she recalls the response she gives to students who say they don’t know how to do something. “I tell them I don’t know how to do it either,” she said. “If I knew how to do it, it wouldn’t be research.” 5 Kacey Meaker ’08 demonstrates the use of a Van de Graaf generator during the 2013 Randolph College Science Festival.

As she saw for herself the promise a good education provided, she made it a personal mission to advocate for education for Afghanistan women. “She knew that as an educated person, she had the responsibility to spread education to the others,” said her husband, Jawed Nader. “She had a long-term vision about what she wanted to achieve in her life and how she could help others.” Those dreams came to a tragic end in November 2012 when Kobra was killed in an automobile accident while visiting family in Iran. “It was sad to see such a unique person perish when we are in such need of her,” Jawed said. “Both personally and socially, it was a great loss.” Those who knew Kobra as a student at the College recall her firm desire to learn all she could, befriend all she met, and work for positive changes in Afghanistan. “She overcame any hesitation or inadequacy she might have had because she knew there was a greater good that she could do,” said Nancy Goulde, Randolph’s coordinator of international student services. When Kobra was a child, her family fled to Iran to escape civil war. Kobra witnessed discrimination while there, but experiencing it after returning to her home country added extra motivation for her to pursue an education and work for social change. Susan Lemly Sardina ’70 connected the College to the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women (IEAW), which helped Kobra come to Randolph. Susan and her husband, Michael, often hosted Kobra on breaks from school and witnessed her keen desire to learn. “She had an intellectual curiosity,” Susan said. “She was curious about our faith and our politics. She just wanted to learn.” “She walked with grace,” Nancy added. “We should honor her courage and determination to get an education and to help others achieve some of the opportunities she was given.” Jawed met Kobra in 2005, and they dated and corresponded for six years as she attended the College. They married in 2011, after which they enrolled in graduate school at the University of Bristol. Kobra’s death devastated Jawed, but it also motivated him to continue working for the causes that meant so much to his wife. Today, he directs an organization that administers foreign aid to Afghanistan. Jawed and Susan coordinated with a nonprofit to open the Kobra A. Nader Computer Center in Bamian, Afghanistan, where women and girls can learn how to access online educational resources. Other remembrances include a prize for IEAW students who return to Afghanistan, an award for international students at the University of Bristol, and a need-based scholarship at a small school in Kabul, Iran. Jawed has been touched to see so many people want to honor and remember Kobra. “They are helping Kobra’s dream remain alive.” Kobra’s Dream W IN TER 2014 7 8 B UL LETIN Lynn Hume Stuart ’60, who received an Alumnae Achievement Award in 2012, is the namesake of the College’s student publication suite, a gift made in her honor by her husband, Bill Stuart. Student publications suite honors Lynn Hume Stuart ’60 A suite of offices for student-run publications has been named for an alumna who was a writer herself and a longtime friend of the College. The Lynn Hume Stuart ’60 Publications Suite on the second floor of the Student Center provides dedicated workspace for the operations of student publications, including the student newspaper, The Sundial, and Hail, Muse! Etc., an annual publication of poetry, prose, artwork, and photography. The suite was given in memory of Lynn by her husband, Bill Stuart, in recognition of Lynn’s philanthropy and devotion to the College. Lynn served the College in many ways, including as a member of the Board of Trustees for 10 years. The College honored her with an Alumnae Achievement Award in 2012, just a few weeks before she passed away. “She really loved to write, especially poetry, and she was good at that,” Bill said. “When they dedicated the Student Center, they said they still had some naming opportunities left. Lynn has done a lot of things on campus and for the College, but her name was not anywhere. I thought this would be a perfect way to honor her.” The publications suite is already enriching student life. “Having a dedicated space for publications on campus is important because it adds a sense of professionalism to the attitudes of those students who work on the publications,” said Grace Gardiner ’15. “The space,” she said, “has made me feel as if the work I’m doing on the paper or on the literary magazine matters and thus motivates me to live up to that sense of professionalism by publishing high-quality work.” To find out how you can honor a special person, please contact the Development Office at 877-769-2443 or see www.randolphcollege.edu/giving. W IN TER 2014 9 D uQuan Little ’12 got a surprising phone call in September from the co-owner of Peridance, the New York City studio where he works. “Do you want to dance on Good Morning America tomorrow morning?” he said. The morning news show was preparing a segment featuring the band called Postmodern Jukebox. A producer had made a last-minute decision to add dancers to the mix. “Why me?” DuQuan asked. “You deserve it,” was the reply. Dance has long been a passion for DuQuan, who first learned by memorizing choreography from music videos. When he enrolled at Randolph College, his talent, enthusiasm, and physical strength proved to be great assets on stage, said Pam Risenhoover, the Charles A. Dana Professor of Dance. “He was just a gift, like manna from heaven, that we were not expecting,” she said. “He has more talent than he’s aware of,” Pam added. “I think he could have a very successful career in dance.” DuQuan hardly slept the night before his debut on Good Morning America. At 4 a.m., he met 29 other dancers to carpool to the television studio. With no time for official choreography, they practiced only once. A few hours later, they danced live on national television. “We just decided to have fun,” DuQuan said. After the show aired, he received numerous calls, text messages, and Facebook posts congratulating him on the performance. Pam checked her e-mail that morning and found a message from DuQuan sharing the news. While she missed the live performance, she was able to watch a recording online. A few weeks later, she was delighted to learn that DuQuan’s Peridance connection secured him another dance spot on Good Morning America. This time, the camera zoomed in closer and captured his smile. Although DuQuan was not on screen for long, Pam felt the footage demonstrated his ability to succeed. “On those morning shows, you only get a brief snippet of time to do anything, so he didn’t get to show himself off as a dancer much,” Pam said. “But the way he showed himself off to me was that he knows how to make the right connections and be in the right place at the right time.” DuQuan Little ’12 waits with other dancers in the green room before appearing on Good Morning America. 2012 graduate dances his way on Good Morning America–TWICE 10 B ULLETIN Anchee Min began Randolph College’s celebration of Pearl S. Buck’s 100th graduation anniversary with a lecture about the Nobel Prize-winning author, who was a member of the Class of 1914. W IN TER 2014 Special lecture honors the 100th anniversary of Buck’s 1914 graduation from R-MWC A nchee Min spent years getting to know Pearl S. Buck, a member of the R-MWC Class of 1914. While preparing to write the novel Pearl of China, she read Buck’s novels and biographies, interviewed people who had known her in China and America, and envisioned Buck’s life. Visiting Buck’s alma mater in November allowed Min to connect with yet another of Buck’s experiences. While helping Randolph College kick off a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Buck’s graduation, she also probed questions about how the College had impacted one of her favorite role models. “I said yes to this invitation because I was very curious about this college,” said Min. “I wanted to know what kind of school had prepared and shaped Pearl Buck’s mind at the critical thinking level and also at the global level.” Buck, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize for Literature, was a senior at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College 100 years ago. Her life at the College provided a solid foundation for her future work. “I think the College was part of making Pearl Buck who she turned out to be,” said Janet Mintzer, executive director of Pearl S. Buck International, a nonprofit dedicated to Buck’s humanitarian work. “It was a great opportunity for her to flourish. That education helped her find her voice and her pen.” Buck was born in West Virginia while her parents were on leave from missionary work. They returned to China a few months later. Buck’s college years were her first extended stay in the United States. Her first year at R-MWC was fraught with culture shock, loneliness, and a sense of not belonging. But as she embraced her American heritage, she began to feel at home. According to Nora Stirling’s biography, A Woman in Conflict, Buck joined a sorority, participated in Evens-vs.-Odds traditions, tutored in several subjects, edited and wrote for The Tattler, and served as president of her junior class. She flourished under a curriculum that focused heavily on sciences, mathematics, Latin, and liberal arts disciplines. “We were soundly taught and the curriculum carried no hint that we were young women and not young men,” she wrote in her autobiography My Several Worlds. Buck began her professional writing career in China, where she penned The Good Earth and won the Pulitzer Prize. When she moved to the United States, she continued writing and began humanitarian work. “Because she faced discrimination as a child, she was acutely aware of the devastation caused by discrimination,” Mintzer said. “When she saw discrimination was accepted 11 12 B ULLETIN here, she was really outspoken about it.” On Christmas Eve in 1948, a social worker brought her an Indian-American infant who, like other biracial children, was considered unadoptable. Buck created Welcome House, an adoption program that found homes for biracial children. She found a local family who adopted that boy, whom they named David Yoder, and other children who needed homes. The Yoder children were raised as Buck’s grandchildren. David Yoder remembers Buck was devoted to giving them a good life and never talked about her accomplishments. He was surprised in high school when he found her name on the spines of required books. “Then it dawned on me how important a person she was,” he said in a recent interview. “But I still saw her as my grandmother.” Buck also launched Opportunity House, which provided education to mixed-race children overseas. Julie Henning, a standout student from the program in Korea, was invited to live with Buck and be raised as her daughter. “She felt that we were all God’s children,” Henning said. In the 40 years since Buck’s death, Pearl S. Buck International has moved forward with the author’s work by continuing her adoption and education programs. The College has also honored its connection with Buck in many ways over the years. In 1992, the College hosted a symposium marking the 100th anniversary of Buck’s birth. The symposium included scholarly presentations about a variety of aspects of Buck’s life and legacy. “I’m amazed at the extraordinary breadth of her interests and concerns,” said Elizabeth Lipscomb, a retired English professor who helped organize the symposium. “She had more to do than anyone else with America’s image of China. She was a very strong voice for racial integration. She made a huge difference with the way people in this country felt about children with handicaps and disabilities.” Buck’s literary legacy continues through frequent re-printings of her novels, but also through the recent rediscovery of a lost manuscript. Published in October 2013, The Eternal Wonder tells the story of an incredibly intelligent young man named Randolph Colfax who travels the world striving to fulfill his insatiable desire to learn and know. It may be impossible to know whether Buck named the main character with her alma mater in mind, but the journey of Randolph Colfax parallels the quest that Buck once recommended to R-MWC graduates when she spoke at the 1964 commencement. “If you wish to live life to the full, continue to read, continue to be curious and to want to know about everything,” she said. “Let your imaginations soar as you will, and you will reach no boundaries of the impossible.” Anchee Min spoke to students from two creative writing classes about life in China, her writing process, and her admiration for Pearl S. Buck. W IN TER 2014 Kenney Shropshire Roseberry ’44 looks out over front campus during Alumnae Leadership Council in September 2013. Kenney Shropshire Roseberry ’44 celebrates 70th year as class secretary K LONGES T VOLU N SINC TEER E 194 E S enney Shropshire Roseberry ’44 went to see a movie with friends one Sunday during her sophomore year at R-MWC. When they left, the world had changed. “It was dusk, and the wind was swirling around, and we just knew something had happened,” she said. “When we got on the bus, we asked what was going on, and the driver said, ‘Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor.’ “From then on, things were different,” she added. After the United States entered World War II, the lives of Kenney and her classmates were altered. Rations, limited transportation opportunities, and the possibility of boyfriends dying in battle caused them to form close friendships with one another. Kenney felt that deep bond and wanted to stay connected. Now 90 years old, she has served as her class secretary for nearly 70 years and holds the rank of the College’s longestserving volunteer. “It’s one way that I can give back to the College that has given so much to me,” she said. “I can’t give thousands of dollars, but I can be class secretary.” Attending the College created many opportunities for the Paris, Kentucky, native. She performed in the Greek Play, danced, and served as a serenade leader. She also rose to difficult academic challenges. After graduation, she returned to her hometown and taught English for 35 years. “Kenney influenced a lot of lives in her little town,” said Muriel Zimmerman Casey ’53, a cousin of Kenney’s. “And she sent a lot of people to R-MWC—including me.” (Seeing Kenney’s enthusiasm for the College convinced Muriel and her parents to visit the school.) Kenney is also involved in her community in many ways. She sings in her church choir, volunteers at a genealogy library for the Daughters of the American Revolution, and rings the Salvation Army bell each Christmas. Kakkie Beasley McKenna ’44 has always enjoyed seeing Kenney’s energy and enthusiasm, whether she was leading a serenade, calling to gather class notes, or visiting over lunch during Reunion. “She has a very outgoing, positive personality,” Kakkie said. “She’s always trying to get everybody to do the best they can and to participate fully. She’s a very good model for that.” Kakkie added, “If you see her, you want to do more, because she does so much.” RV 4 ING 13 Association NEWS 14 B ULLETIN from the Director of Alumnae & Alumni and the President of the Association T his Bulletin is full of good news about the Association and the College, so we have combined our two letters to save space. President Bateman met hundreds of alumnae and alumni this fall and has wowed them wherever he has gone with a clear vision of where he wants to take the College, how a Randolph education will serve its graduates throughout their lives (as ours served us), and what alumnae and alumni can do to help. And yes, the College always has and always will need the enthusiastic support of its alumnae and alumni. Attendance at 2013 Reunion was the largest since 2007, the entering class this fall was the largest in 25 years, and 24 percent of the solicitable alumnae and alumni gave to the Annual Fund. It has taken several years and lots of hard work to get the College to where it is today, but Randolph has what it takes to keep getting better. We both thank each of you for your support—Randolph College would not be in the fine shape it is in without the continued support of its alumnae and alumni. President Bateman has made clear that the College needs us! Want to know ways to help? 1) We know the kinds of students who will be successful at Randolph —complete the referral form (www.randolphcollege.edu/alumrefer) and every student you refer is guaranteed $1,500 off his or her tuition every year in addition to other scholarships. 2) Independent research, internships, externships, and study abroad are critical to student success. There are many ways alumnae and alumni can support these experiential learning opportunities—volunteer through the Career Development Center, w w w. r a n d o l p h c o l l e g e . e d u / c d c . As you know, helping young people become who they envision themselves becoming is one of the most rewarding things an adult can do. 3) Help us rebuild the Association community—call your friends and ask them to attend a chapter event, a presidential introduction, and Reunion. Reconnecting is one of the best ways to ensure the Association remains vibrant. Be sure to submit class notes. 4) Give to the Annual Fund. Every gift makes a difference: www.randolphcollege.edu/giving Supporting the College community will be rewarding for the students and we hope for you as well.

Here’s your opportunity to spend a week in England with other Randolph-Macon Woman’s College alumnae and Randolph College alumni, friends, and family. You’ll enjoy preparatory lectures at Reading (and stay in 141 Whiteknights) with an extended visit to York and its surroundings, with several day trips included! We will spend two days in Reading learning how the history of England has left rich and fascinating traces that shape the country to this day. Then we will travel to York to explore the inner city still circled by the old city walls, dating from between the 1240s and the 1340s, dominated by the largest Gothic cathedral north of the Alps, with streets dating back to Roman and Viking times. York has an unusually high concentration of medieval buildings with the significant architectural style of the last centuries. Some of the churches trace their origins back to the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Starting as a Roman garrison town in AD 71 and becoming the capital of the Lower Brittania in about AD 213, York was eventually raided and then settled by the Vikings. Following the Norman Conquest in 1066, William the Conqueror established two great fortresses in York; the remains of one still stands. During the English Civil War, Charles I established his court there for six months in 1642. In the 19th century, York was at the forefront of the expanding railway industry and now houses the National Railway Museum. Another—perhaps unlikely—major industry was confectionary; by 1908, chocolate was the second largest employer in York after the railways, leading some to point out that on certain days York literally smells of chocolate! This is just a taste, so watch for further details about how to join this exciting tour! For more information on this trip, please contact the Office of Alumnae and Alumni 434-947-8102.

She was employed by the College for eight years and in the Office of Alumnae and Alumni for four of those years. Amy was a lover of the arts and enjoyed photography, painting, and working with stained glass. She was also an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Amy died on August 5, 2013, after a courageous battle with cancer. Amy’s daughter-in-law, Tiffany Paonessa Kuenzi, is a 2009 graduate of the College. Dot Swain Lewis ’36 Alumnae Achievement Award recipient Artist, teacher, horsewoman, pilot, instructor, WASP, illustrator, sculptor, mentor, guitar player, singer, gardener, house builder; the list goes on and on. Dorothy “Dot” Swain Lewis grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, and followed her dream as an artist. She learned to fly and trained Navy Cadets before becoming an instructor for the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots). After graduating from R-MWC in 1936, she later joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots WWII, graduating in 1944. She had horses, an airplane, a ranch; was an FAA designated private and commercial examiner, flight instructor, and she played a “mean” guitar; but her first love was art, which she taught for 26 years. Dot lived a lifetime of extraordinary accomplishment; yes, truly Vita abundantior! She died on September 9, 2013. Juanita Chaffin Mayberry Admissions staff member—47 years of service As stated by Bert Hudnall, former director of R-MWC admissions, “For almost 50 years, Juanita was the indispensable major domo of the admissions office. As admissions officers came and went over the years, Juanita was the constant, the glue. She was the person with the history. She knew generations of students and was always able to provide information that helped to enhance our efforts at personalizing our contacts with prospective students, their school counselors, and alumnae. It was not unusual for a counselor in Mobile or Pittsburgh or Paducah or Waco to ask an R-MWC admissions representative visiting in those cities, ‘How’s Juanita?’ Juanita’s name appeared in ink at the bottom of every single personally-typed letter of acknowledgement of recommendations and transcripts, and her voice was often the first they heard when they called the College. These counselors didn’t know Juanita personally, but they knew we were able to do our jobs better in the field because of what she was doing in the office.” Juanita died Sunday, August 4, 2013, at the age of 80. Bert Hudnall’s tribute to Juanita can be read in its entirety at http://bulletin.randolphcollege.edu/2013/08/atribute-to-juanita-mayberry Dorothy Crandall Bliss Professor of biology, emerita Dorothy Bliss was a member of the faculty of RandolphMacon Woman’s College from 1949 to 1983. In addition to being a professor of biology, she also served for a time as chair of the R-MWC Department of Biology. Dorothy was a memorable teacher for many generations of R-MWC students and with her students developed an herbarium collection that is one the most important in the state of Virginia. Following her retirement, Dorothy began work on a native plant botanic garden on the R-MWC campus, a long-held dream for her. In 2008, it was named the Dorothy Crandall Bliss Botanic Garden in her honor. The garden is located between Martin Science building and the library and is open to the public. It contains more than 200 species of plants native to the southeastern United States, including several endangered and rare species. The garden is used regularly for courses in botany, ecology, environmental studies, and art and is a great asset for the Lynchburg community. Dorothy died in Lynchburg on October 14, 2013, at the age of 97. She was a remarkable and influential person and will be greatly missed by all. 55 56 B ULLETIN Alumnae and Alumni Deaths Listing includes notifications received by the College as of November 30, 2013 1930 1932 1932 1934 1936 1936 1937 1938 1938 1939 1940 1940 1941 1941 1942 1942 1942 1943 1944 1944 1944 1945 1945 1946 1946 1946 1946 1947 1947 1947 1947 1947 1947 1947 1948 1948 1948 1949 1949 1949 1949 1949 1949 1949 1949 1950 1950 1950 1950 1950 1950 1951 1951 1952 1952 1952 1952 1953 1954 1954 1957 Carlotta Newsum Edna Sanders Johnston Elizabeth Baker Parr Eugenie Paul Collison Elizabeth Dickens Hughes Dorothy Swain Lewis Virginia Parsons Howard Dorothy Rolston Dawson Ann Glover Parrott Ann Brock Margaret Adams Oswalt Bessie Christian Thompson Ruth Singewald Hurlock Louise Gee Thomas Lelia Lawrence Blackmon Phyllis Stewart Burke Nesmith Evelyn Pearson Weems Susanne Wells Blinn Katherine Messner Cullen Anne Melville Johnson Rhett Peters Taylor Jane Taylor Wolfe Virginia Caffee Grigg Kathryn Gilmer Virginia Hunt Hones Mary Ellis Livingston Carol Choisser Montgomery Mary Cason Brockardt Margaret Blackard Clarke Marilyn Morgan Williams Margaret Beazley Dague Patricia Flintoff Morgan Algie Ashe Passey Ruth Lee Bridges Wooldridge Virginia Jordan Dudenhausen Barbara Howe Paret Betty McCall Smith Charlotte Griswold Bowden Martha Croley Click Caroline Holmes Alice Brown Huneycutt Thalia Eliades Kapnistos Jean Puckett Lantz Betty Ann Shropshire Ross Patricia Hayward Schneeman Margaret Balentine Ashmore Carol King Baker Mary Rawlings Gibson Cornelia Boreman Graham Marty Stockton Hancock Lois Scott Mengel Harriette McGuire Doordan Marian Tilley Stoney Katherine Williams Booth Evelyn Brooks Bromberg Anne Adams Sowder Letitia Bell Thompson Sara Lowry Baldwin Patricia McCall Huston Nancy Hankins Scott Margaret McVay McCombs 10/2/2013 8/26/2013 11/6/2011 8/9/2013 4/11/2010 9/9/2013 6/27/2013 6/24/2013 7/13/2013 8/31/2013 7/30/2013 11/5/2013 10/31/2013 8/2/2012 9/20/2009 10/8/2013 8/12/2013 8/27/2013 6/8/2012 8/9/2013 8/4/2013 6/6/2013 6/4/2013 9/1/2013 1/27/2011 6/1/2013 10/30/2013 11/18/2013 11/1/2013 8/12/2012 3/17/2012 10/21/2012 4/30/2013 8/26/2013 9/30/2013 9/22/2013 8/18/2013 8/12/2013 9/2/2013 8/9/2013 6/15/2013 1/21/2013 12/3/2012 7/6/2013 10/28/2013 8/6/2013 8/19/2013 11/1/2013 5/22/2013 8/27/2013 6/5/2013 6/5/2013 7/26/2013 7/11/2013 11/3/2013 8/9/2013 9/4/2013 7/5/2013 6/3/2013 9/9/2013 10/6/2012 1958 1958 1959 1959 1959 1960 1960 1960 1960 1962 1963 1964 1966 1967 1967 1968 1969 1969 1969 1969 1969 1971 1974 1975 1975 1984 Judith Irby Jane Williams VanAntwerp Suzanne Meadow Bond Ennis Graham Cooper Margaret Lavinder Smith Odilia Russo Dank Raleigh Henderson Dulaney Sally Birdsong Smith Margaret Butler Witschard Rose Hardin Jensen Margo Grafton Rundles Peggy Harlow Knight Allison Watts Carol Lewis Heideman Bruce Earman Viles Patricia Hale Henggeler Theresa Poellnitz Clark Marion Warmack Morrison Baldwin Reid Tillman Julie Lee Norton Patricia Morgan Milner Dolly Hortenstine Whitson Jane Vail Ward Linda Nutt Northrop Marion Brown Walsh Rebecca Haney 11/18/2013 8/7/2013 4/5/2013 10/31/2013 6/28/2013 8/17/2013 7/16/2013 10/1/2013 9/14/2013 8/12/2013 8/2/2013 6/19/2010 8/1/2013 10/2/2013 5/1/2013 9/15/2013 11/7/2013 10/23/2013 7/29/2013 3/17/2013 4/3/2013 11/8/2012 9/12/2013 10/13/2013 6/10/2013 9/19/2013 Alumnae and Alumni Family Deaths Listing includes notifications received by the College as of November 30, 2013, and includes spouses, parents, and other immediate family members with alumnae or alumni connections 1941 Spouse of Virginia Sweet Bondurant Robert F.
