                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

In images such as this these, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's work spans a broad range of subject matter, including scenes from work life at Norfolk Western railroad, his Henry County roots, and inspirational religious drawings." &#13;

This image depict the Dumas Hotel on the right side of the image. The Henry Street Bridge is seen in the middle of the image. Jack and Jill's Soda Shop is also on the far right.

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                <text>"The late David A. Ramey captured images of life in Roanoke, many from memory. In images such as this these, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's work is noted for his attention to the small details and the great effort he put into his work. 'If you expect to get anything out of it, you've got to put something into it,' wrote Mr. Ramey." &#13;

This image depicts Henry Street through the middle of the drawing, and "Well Ave" cuts through Henry Street in the foreground of the image. From left to right, the labelled businesses are, "Weebys Gro ABC", "308", "Pool", "Ebony Club", "Hotel", "Pool", "BPW". Several people and cars are crossing the street.&#13;

                <text>This image depicts the Gainsboro Branch Library on Patton Avenue. St. Andrew's Catholic Church can be seen up the hill on Jefferson Street, and two nuns appear to be walking to the library from the church. Five people are walking around the street and the Library Yard. The artist signed the work twice and also wrote, "Patton Ave 1957". There appears to be some ink staining from a possible work on the back.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

In images such as this one, he focused on the vibrant Gainsboro neighborhood, much lost to urban renewal efforts of the 1960s. Mr. Ramey's writing captures the spirit of a community of people who welcomed and supported each other." &#13;

This image depicts Henry Street at the intersection with Centre Avenue. The 1st Street Bridge is featured in the center of the image. To the far left of the image, there is the Virginia Theatre, North Carolina Mutual, and Kaiser Record Store. The Norfolk and Western Railway can be seen off to the right of the image, as well as a glimpse into Downtown Roanoke. In the top left corner the artist wrote, "Henry Street Bridge By David A. Ramey 2007 A Happy Place".&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

As we began o ur se ni o r yea r, man y o f u s
looked forward to our h appiest schoo l session.
V./e knew there would be fun-p ac ked moments;
however , we did not once forget the ser io u s p reparatio n fo r life which lay before u s.

Our high

sc hoo l yea rs wi ll h elp u s t o meet the futur e w ith
a greater and happier outlook on th e world. That is o ur hope for you as yo u turn t h e
pages of thi s annual, a nd recall the happy moments the pict ures of fellow-students may
bring to mind.
Since we want to remember Fleming and the things fo r which sh e stood, we ch os e
the SE IOR RI NG as the theme of our yearbook.

Ma ny sen io rs se lected t h e blu e stone,

wh ich symbolizes the traditional F lemi ng colors, blue a nd go ld .

Others p re fe rred the

red or black stones, for reasons unknown to us, but we a re sure their ring means ju st as
much .
On one side of the ring is a picture of Colonel \Vi lli a m Fleming, fo r whom o ur school
was named. We think he wou ld be proud to know we st ill honor hi s name and ch e ri s h
the ideals he established .
On the opposite side of t'1e nng 1s the picture of the schoo l.
our experiences in the hall s of our Alma

always look forward t o com in g back in later
years to refresh our memories of past experiences,
and to see those who will be treading the halls
we once trod.
The Annual Staff has tried to make this the
best yearbook eve r.

We sincerely hope eac h

page wi ll help you recall with delight your school

Being a se nio r means a lot. It m ea ns checking credits and picking up required subj ects needed to g radu a te. It means cheering the teams to victory as
they st ruggle t o win. It means pub lishing the year book , Senio r Day, t h e Senior
Play, the Pro m and New York. It mea ns wearing the trad itiona l grey and march ing sedately down the a isle.
But, being a se nio r means mo re th a n this. It mea n s the serious rea li zation
of wha t lies before us. It mean s the beg inning of the proper adjustment to fut u re
liv in g.
Being a sen io r means the ending of happy relationship with teachers and
fellow-students . It means that we a re about t o beco me F leming's trad ition. It
means grad uatio n .

MR. TOM DIXON

1\IIRs. VIVIAN DICKEN S ON

Juniors, at last, with ju st one more year ahead!
A junior leads a busy life, so we found that we were no exceptions to the
rule. Along with important studies were our social activities.
We sponsored a comic basketball ga me and the annual Christmas formal
dance.
The Prom, with a romantic setting, soft music and delicious refreshments,
was the real highlight of the year.
Our dreams of four years are almost reached - we shall soon be "the Seniors."

Colone lettes
successful
In sp ite of having a practically gree n team this yea r, th e Colonelettes had a verv for
tournaseason. They lost only three out of th e twelve games played. This placed them in third plac~
ment rating.
Sarver, the only sq uad membe r with more than one previous year's experience, proved a good
captain and a good forward, pi ling up a total of 200 points.
as
Arrington, who changed from gua rd to forward this year, mad e a good partner for Sarver,
did Stanley.
Buckner a lso switched positions, from forward to guard, and proved the backbone of the defense
crew.
F e rrell and Hud so n were able support for Buckner as was Umbe rger, who traded places with
Hud so n in the strategic position und er the basket.
eir
The other sq uad mem bers were able sparring partners for th e regulars and kept them on th
l\'I eador,
toes. They were Bostian, Prillaman, and Hylton, as guards; Ruth and Nancy Callison and
as forwards .
Abbott, as manager and Webber as her assistant, were very good manage rs in th eir bu sin ess-like
\V ays.

"THE TIRELESS ATHLETE"
B y PARK ER LOWELL
I'm glad the game is over, in every joint I ache,
With vim and zest l gave 111.y best for Alma Mater's sak t..
With antics proud
I thrilled the crowd.
Now well-earned rest I take.
I twisted, turned and tum.bled, and as the ganre advanced,
For fully sixty minutes relentlessly I danced.
1Vf. an, woman, ckild,
M y grace beguiled.
Cheers echoed w hen I pran ced
I ncluded in the line-up, friends, ·11 0 name of mi11e appears
No triple threat am I and yet, I lubricate the gears.
No heights I climb,
But hark ye, I' m
T he gal who leads the cheers,

- From Sports 11/eek
The squad, und er th e ab le and effici ent leadership of Su e .Vfun sey, supported both Varsity teams at games
and tri ed to encourage good sportsmanship am ong stud ents.
In order to know each oth er better, th ey had a deli ghtful Christmas party and spo nsored a dance dur ing
the yea r.
It was a real treat to have a mascot, Nada J a ne Smith.

Th e Colo11el News received a challenge when the '46-'47 Colo nel won the first-place awa rd at the S. I. P. A.
meeting held in Lexington . The staff has tried this yea r to make The Colonel News an eve n better pape r.
Many changes ha ve bee n mad e. The paper is now pub lished by t he J ou rn a li sm C lass with t he help of some
of the s tudents not in the Class.
The Journali sm Class sponsored th e second assembl y prog ram in a kick-off campaig n for subsc riptions.
T he Halloween iss ue of th e paper carried a surp ri se for th e stud ents and th e bi ggest improvement the pape r
has mad e; t hat o f three columns instead of the usual two. The paper has continued to be published wit h three columns.
The Hom e-Coming issue instituted mimeographing in color, which has bee n don e in seve ral succeed ing issues .
On December 3 I st, the Class sponso red a M idnight r-.Iasquerade which was held in th e gym . In May, an
outing was held for members and their dates .
It is hop ed that t he st udent body has enjoyed The Colonel News this year as much as the staff has enjo yed
bringing it to them.

                  <text>In 1949, William Fleming became part of the Roanoke City School System through the annexation of part of Roanoke County by the city. William Fleming was moved to its present location in 1961 near Hershberger Road NW. In 1989, eight auxiliary classrooms were added to accommodate the arrival of ninth graders on campus as middle schools were established in the city. A new $57 million building opened in 2009 next to the existing facilities and the construction of the school's first on-campus football stadium was completed in 2010.</text>

Historical Note:
Greenvale Nursery School was a non-profit school established in February 1934 by early
childhood specialist Bertie Clinevell with the help of the Junior League of the Roanoke
Valley. The school opened to provide quality, developmentally appropriate childcare
services for children of working parents. It was one of the first childcare centers in Virginia.
Care was provided based on a sliding-fee scale based upon income. Some of the support
services offered included a resident pediatrician, speech therapy, sick childcare, and
special education.
It was initially housed in three rooms located in the old railroad YMCA building on
Shenandoah Avenue and 12th Street, NW. The rooms' heat and water were secured by the
Salvation Army while Norfolk &amp; Western, which owned the building, provided the electricity.
Because of its early affiliation, the school was first known as the Salvation Army Nursery
School, with the name changing to Greenvale after a move to the old Andrews home on
West Campbell Avenue known as "Greenvale." The school immediately began to grow and
moved several times to increase its ability to meet the demand for service. In 1947 the
school was accepted as an agency of the United Fund (United Way of Roanoke Valley). In
1957, land was purchased and construction began on the school's building on Westwood
Boulevard, NW. In 2019, Greenvale was acquired by Total Action for Progress (TAP) and now
serves as one of TAP’s Head Start Program.
Scope and Content:
The Greenvale School collection consists of materials kept by administration regarding
school initiatives, activities, and fundraising. The bulk of the collection was housed in two
oversized scrapbooks containing photographs, news clippings, and ephemera. For

�preservation purposes, items were removed from the scrapbooks and rehoused in
appropriate containers. Additionally, several loose materials are included. A small amount
of material is administrative in nature.

Historical Note:
Proposals for establishing greenway corridors in Roanoke can be traced back as far as the
plans prepared by John Nolen in 1907 and 1928. By the late twentieth century, a number
of individual municipal planning efforts in the region had proposed greenways, bikeways,
and river corridor trails.
In the early 1990s local citizens began a coordinated effort for the development of a
regional greenway system in the Roanoke Valley. In 1995 the Roanoke Valley
Greenways/Open Space Steering Committee, working with the Fifth Planning District
Commission, the City of Roanoke, the City of Salem, the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke
County, held community workshops and produced the Conceptual Greenway Plan,
Roanoke Valley Virginia, which was adopted by the participating municipalities in 1997.
Concurrently, a jointly funded staff position for the greenway effort, the Roanoke Valley
Greenway Coordinator, was established in 1996 and first held by Liz Belcher. In 1997 the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission was established through an intergovernmental
agreement to guide the regional implementation of the greenway plan. A nonprofit,
Pathfinders to Greenways, Inc., was also founded to involve volunteers in the greenway
effort. The Roanoke Greenway Commission hosted the first Virginia Governor’s
Conference on Greenways and Trails in 1999. In 2016 Botetourt County joined the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission.
The Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission and member municipalities applied for and
received numerous grants that helped fund greenway construction; developed two
updates to the greenway plan (2007 and 2018); acquired land and easements and
constructed dozens of miles of greenways; and coordinated greenway construction with
other regional planning and improvement projects. Liz Belcher played a key role in
overseeing this work. She retired from the position of Greenway Coordinator in 2021.

Other Segments
IV. Newspaper Clippings
V. Photographs
VI. Slides
VII. Oversized documents
Sections I-III include documents related to the development of the Greenway, including
correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, reports, and newspaper articles originally
placed in these folders. Within each subsection, folders are generally arranged
chronologically. Collection contents are not comprehensive documentation of greenway
commission business; the exception being the contents related to the Bernie Carter Grant
fundraising effort, which include the grant application and correspondence, and
comprehensive records of donor solicitation and response.
Section IV is a wide-ranging collection of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as
some pamphlets and newsletters, on greenways and related issues, both in the Roanoke
region and more broadly. Folder contents and headings are as received.
Sections V and VI include images mostly from 1997-2001, and just a few from later
dates. Photographs primarily document greenway construction, ribbon cuttings, and
events where the greenway was promoted. Some of the slides were arranged in carousels
for presentation purposes, as noted; however, only one accompanying script is included.
Slides were removed from carousels in the order they had been placed; in some instances,
there were gaps between slides in the carousels. The remainder of the slides were
received organized in sleeve pages in binders and that organization has been maintained.

Sections I-III include documents related to the development of the Greenway, including correspondence, meeting agendas and minutes, reports, and newspaper articles originally placed in these folders. Within each subsection, folders are generally arranged chronologically. Collection contents are not comprehensive documentation of greenway commission business; the exception being the contents related to the Bernie Carter Grant fundraising effort, which include the grant application and correspondence, and comprehensive records of donor solicitation and response.&#13;
&#13;
Section IV is a wide-ranging collection of newspaper and magazine articles, as well as some pamphlets and newsletters, on greenways and related issues, both in the Roanoke region and more broadly. Folder contents and headings are as received.&#13;
&#13;
Sections V and VI include images mostly from 1997-2001, and just a few from later dates. Photographs primarily document greenway construction, ribbon cuttings, and events where the greenway was promoted. Some of the slides were arranged in carousels for presentation purposes, as noted; however, only one accompanying script is included. Slides were removed from carousels in the order they had been placed; in some instances, there were gaps between slides in the carousels. The remainder of the slides were received organized in sleeve pages in binders and that organization has been maintained.&#13;
&#13;
Section VII includes oversized items, including planning documents and aerial images.&#13;

This collection of genealogy documents and family photographs was compiled by Lorna

Scope and Content:
The collection consists of two document storage cases, one containing family history
materials for the Stone / Kearfott / Katz / Barrow and related families, and the other
dedicated to materials related to the life of Orren Wilson Barrow (1836-1913).
The family history and genealogy materials are well documented, and almost all
individuals in photographs are identified. Focus is primarily on the ancestors of Dr.
William Conrad Stone, with additional narratives on the history of some family lines.
There is significant biographical information on artist and genealogist Robert Ryland
Kearfott (1890-1969), brother of Mary Lu Kearfott Stone, and Orren W. Barrow (18361913), brother of Dr. Harry B. Stone’s mother.
Orren W. Barrow was Captain of the “Henry Guards,” Co. H, 24th Virginia Infantry
Regiment, CSA. His papers in this collection include: an 1855 daily diary; essays;
correspondence (1850s-1890s) with family, friends, colleagues, and a sweetheart; and a
manuscript history of the Henry Guards.

Historical Note:
Philip H. Trout (1873-1964) was born in Staunton, Virginia, and earned a degree in
engineering from Lehigh University. Trout came to Roanoke in the 1910s, and worked
for the Virginia Bridge and Iron Co.
The Virginia Water Company began construction of the dam that created the Carvins
Cove Reservoir in 1926. In 1936 the Roanoke Water Works purchased the assets of the
Virginia Water Company, including the dam and reservoir. The City of Roanoke
purchased the Roanoke Water Works in 1938, including the Carvins Cove facilities. In
1944 city residents approved a $2 million bond measure to connect the Carvins Cove
reservoir to the city water system; the project was completed in 1947.

Scope and Content:
The collection consists of a scrapbook compiled by Philip H. Trout. It contains
newspaper clippings, magazine articles and other ephemera related to the Roanoke City
Water System in the years 1943-1952, with a focus on the connection of the Carvins
Cove Reservoir to the city’s distribution system. Other topics covered include the
recreational use of the Carvins Cove watershed and reservoir, improvement of the water
distribution system within the City of Roanoke, and the provision of water supply to the
Town of Vinton.

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.

The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The Gainsboro Library Photography Collection consists of approximately 100 black-and-white and color photographic prints.  The black-and-white prints vary in size between 2 ½ x 3 ½” and 8 x 10”and include various oversized prints.  Color images vary between 3 ½ x 4 ¼” and 8 x 10”.  The collection consists of various subjects including images that document the history of the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries; group portraits of African-American social clubs and sports teams; portraits of prominent Roanoke African-Americans, including, but not limited to:  doctors, dentists, funeral home directors, clergymen, teachers and librarians; and images of various points-of-interest in Roanoke’s Gainsboro neighborhood, including churches, schools and institutions.  The collection also contains a number of photographs donated by prominent Roanoke African-American families, including the Claytor and Downing families. Although most of the photographers and provenance of the collection’s images are unknown, those with known attribution are noted. While a majority of images in the collection are represented on this database, others are not. A complete index of all images is available at the Gainsboro Branch of Roanoke Public Libraries. </text>

                  <text>The David A. Ramey Artwork Collection is a collection filled with the many art pieces created by David A. Ramey. His colorful and lively art is largely related to Roanoke, and especially to the history of the Gainsboro Neighborhood and North East Roanoke through Urban Renewal. His pieces are all completed from his memory of the neighborhoods. Since there are very limited photographs of these places pre-Urban Renewal, Mr. Ramey's works are not only beautiful and artistic, but also serve as a visual marker of local history. Pieces range from small pencil sketches to large framed pieces.&#13;

A chronological listing of articles on Explore Park published in The Roanoke Times
October 17, 1990, Page 1
Director named for Explore environmental center
Rupert Cutler, a former Audubon Society senior vice president who ran the nation’s forestry
program in the Carter Administration, was introduced at a news conference.
October 18, 1990
Leading environmentalist to head Explore center
The River Foundation, is a bold move to get Explore off the drawing board, announced
Wednesday that it had hired a nationally known environmentalist to run the proposed
environmental center that would be the centerpiece of the project’s first phase.
March 2, 1991
Explore, zoo unveil plans to join forces
March 7, 1991
Red wolves coming to Explore Park
For Explore, the red wolf represents a chance to get some meaningful programs under way
before the park itself is built, as well as to validate its environmental credentials with potential
donors, Ewert says.
March 10, 1991
Walk in the woods
As early as this summer, Ewert says, Explore could start some high-profile breeding programs
with endangered species. Within three months, Ewert and new environmental director Rupert
Cutler also plan to announce a list of a half-dozen other environmental programs Explore will
start work on right away.
March 31, 1991
Construction of National Conservation Training Center in Harpers Ferry Announced
Ed Clark, Wildlife Center of Virginia: “If Explore is trying to raise money to create a regional
North American wildlife facility, they’re gong to have a hell of a time to justify a $15 million first
phase when they’re competing with $60 million [for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service project in
Harpers Ferry]. To put something like this federal facility at Harpers Fery is really going to preempt a lot of the draw Explore is going to collect.”
April 11, 1991
Explore sees need for ‘natural area’

�The Explore Park’s governing body may decide to legally designate much of the 1,200-acre site
as “natural areas” not to be developed…. Rupert Cutler…recently suggested that the plan be
formalized with some legal designation.
April 19, 1991
The tipoff by Joe Kennedy
Roanoke’s Earth Day 1991 celebration will be Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Wasena Park.
Former U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson, who co-founded the first Earth Day observance, will
speak at 1:30 p.m. Rupert Cutler, director of the Lewis and Clark Environmental Education
Center at Explore, also will speak.
April 22, 1991
Founder call for environmental education
Former Sen. [Gaylord] Nelson told an enthusiastic crowd that three things must happen in order
for industrial nations to switch from being environmental consumers to environmental
conservationists.
May 5, 1991
Explore strikes a deal
Park will sponsor federal seminars
The Explore Park has forged a formal agreement with the federal government to sponsor
environmental conferences for the U.S. Forest Service. Explore planners Saturday heralded the
deal as a breakthrough in the quest for national recognition.
May 10, 1991
Editorial: Explore Park on the move
Spring has brought something resembling a flurry of activity at Explore. It’s a welcome reminder
that the project is still here, on track, and making progress.
June 6, 1991
Explore will not retain Ewert as project director
The River Foundation confirmed Wednesday that it will not renew [Bern] Ewert’s contract as
project director when it expires July 31.
June 7, 1991
Editorial: Ewert and Explore part ways
…Explore has raised only $1 million in private money for construction. The amount raised thus
far is tiny…. Without Ewert, there would be no Explore. He deserves the community’s
gratitude….
June 17, 1991
Explore determined to escape from Ewert’s shadow
In the wake of the River Foundation’s extraordinary ouster of Ewert as project director this
month, the board now looks to environmental director Rupert Cutler to raise the millions
necessary to build the propose $18.5 million living-history state park.
July 10, 1991
Explore, Mill Mountain Zoo make agreement official
The Explore Park and Mill Mountain Zoo signed a contract Tuesday that may go a long way
toward ensuring the survival of some endangered species—the red wolf, the Florida panther
and perhaps the zoo itself.

�July 31, 1991
Under, over and back on the road
Peregrine falcons in downtown Roanoke, a possibility once dismissed, is again heating on the
front burner. Rupert Cutler is intrigued by the idea, as is Beth Poff of the Mill Mountain Zoo.
Cutler says he’s contacted state game experts about the possibility of releasing falcons in
Roanoke, where they would prey on, but not eliminate, ledge-roosting pigeons.
September 1-2, 1991
Two-part recap by Dwayne Yancey of Bern’s Ewert’s impact on Roanoke
“He was typically so full of enthusiasm for his project,” says Rupert Cutler, who headed fundraising campaigns for a number of major environmental groups before joining Explore as
environmental director, “that he would move into a prospect with a zealous salesmanship that
didn’t permit the person being courted much of a chance to explain their needs, their limits, their
interests. Ultimately, the potential funder felt their priorities weren’t being listened to.”
September 6, 1991
Hofauger farmstead to be re-built at Explore Park
“Major changes could be made to [the park’s] design. If we can get a consensus, we’re more apt
to get more local financial support and state financial support, he says. It’s all part of his plan to
get more local groups involved in the planning and operation of Explore, which in the past has
been tinged by the impression that the park is the pet project of a handful of prominent Roanoke
business leaders.
September 26, 1991
Explore changes name
The Explore Park has a new name: Virginia’s Explore Park. Environmental Director Rupert
Cutler said he got the idea after visiting what is no billed as Georgia’s Stone Mountain. The state
board that governs the park agreed Wednesday to adopt the new name.
October 9, 1991
1,000 acres of Explore left wild
The Explore Park board voted to set aside 1,004 acres—about two-thirds of the park—in
“natural area” never to be developed. It sent a signal, environmental director Rupert Cutler
hopes. “I wanted the community to know that environmental protection is a very high priority
objective of the Explore Park program and this action today should send that message,” Cutler
said.
October 22, 1991
Explore officials give assurances; Roanoke council fears competition
The Explore Park won’t compete for business with a renovated Hotel Roanoke and conference
center, Roanoke City Council was assured by park officials. “We all agree that we need to
reopen Hotel Roanoke,” [Rupert] Cutler said. The idea of a major hotel at Explore in eastern
Roanoke County is just a blue-sky dream at this point, he said.
November 3, 1991
Environmentalists picnic at Explore
There was Roanoke birder Fred Cramer picnicking Saturday at Virginia’s Explore Park and
talking up the fact that he’s holding Roanoke’s annual Christmas bird count there this year.
Explore’s environmental director, Rupert Cutler, stood in his hiking boots on a stack of bricks
and apologized for an environmental no-no nearby—Explore’s draining a wetland.

�November 20, 1991
Explore Park receives first big-name donations
Rupert Cutler was working late at the office Monday, proudly typing out his own news prelease
about the Explore Park’s first national contribution--$5,000 from the Ford Motor Co.—when the
phone rang. It was the Chevron Corp. in California. Another $5,000 contribution was on the way.
With $10,000 in hand, Explore and Kill Mountain Zoo now can start their endangered-species
breeding program.
November 22, 1991
Explore breaks new ground
Center to sponsor 1st conference
The Explore Park, which hopes to make Roanoke an international center for environmental
meetings, has landed its first conference. More that 100 forestry experts from throughout North
America will meet Dec. 2-5 at a conference co-sponsored by Explore and the U.S. Forest
Service to discuss new ways of managing the nation’s forests.
November 28, 1991
Explore simplifies scheme
No Phase One plans cost $6 million less
Explore planners have once again scaled back the size of the proposed living-history state
park’s first phase, this time from $16 million to $10 million. Instead of building a re-created Blue
Ridge frontier town, the plan now calls for the development of eight small-scale “activity areas”
that would teach visitors about life on the frontier. Cutler says the project should evolve slowly
over time. That reflects more realistic fund raising goals for a start-up project such as Explore.
November 29, 1991
No longer ‘proposed’
The result is a program that has delighted Roanoke Valley educators looking for field trips that
can give students a hands-on feel for Virginia’s frontier history. “It’s no longer the proposed
Explore Park, Cutler proclaims. “It’s the actual, being-used-by-the-public-now Virginia’s Explore
Park.”
December 5, 1991
Explore defends its red wolves
Wednesday should have been a gratifying day for Explore Park director Rupert Cutler. A group
of Native Americans had arrived to build a communal Indian “sweat lodge” that Cutler hopes will
help draw droves of paying customers to the park for years to come. Instead, Cutler found
himself running damage control on Explore’s recently announced plan to breed rare red wolves
at the park for eventual release into the wild.
December 8, 1991
Explore to get Roanoke support
After months of delay, Roanoke City Council is expected to agree this week to allow the
proposed Roanoke River Parkway to cross the Roanoke Valley regional landfill property. This
would remove the last legal impediment to the construction of the $15 million access road from
the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Explore living-history state park.

Firs &amp; Forestry by Alan Sorensen
This year’s tree-farm trip seen from ‘New Perspective’
The U.S. Forest Service had held a national workshop in Roanoke. Rupert Cutler, director of
Explore Parak’s environmental education center, had left me little choice but to drop by. The first
thing that struck me was that Roanoke was hosting the affair. Thanks to Cutler’s contacts, the
Forest Service had arranged to hold this conference Dec. 3-5, in Roanoke. It was the second
gathering of foresters and others to discuss something called “New Perspectives” in managing
national-forest lands. The profiles of both Explore and the Roanoke area were raised a little
thereby. I gather that “New Perspectives” reflects anxiety and change afoot in forest
management.
January 15, 1992
Falcons to roost on Dominion Tower
Downton Roanoke Inc. will contribute $8.000 to the project. Mitchell Byrd, a biology professor at
the College of William and Mary, has committed $15,000 of a peregrine fund he administers.
Rupert Cutler hailed the cooperative venture as “the return of nature to the city.”
February 17, 1992
The Question Box
Do you think Explore Park will have any benefits for the city?
Bowers: “I think [environmental director] Rupert Cutler is trying to get Explore redirected in the
way it should be. I think [of] Explore as a park, an environmental study area. I think that under
the direction of Rupert Cutler—who I’ve become impressed by in the several times I’ve met with
him—I think he’s going to redirect Explore.”
May 17, 1992
An environmental champion gets back in the ring
In a career spanning four decades with a who’s who of national groups, Rupert Cutler helped
reshape America’s environmental policies. Now he faces another challenge, one that he didn’t
expect when he “retired” to Roanoke last year: reshaping the Explore Park. The man who left
Washington to get away from the political wars found himself in the middle of one.
May 17, 1992
Project will explore Cutler’s connections in fund-raising area
Explore’s backers say they’re more optimistic than ever about raising the private money
necessary to build the park The reason? Rupert Cutler and his contacts with potential
contributors nationwide. Shenandoah Life Chairman Joe Stephenson, who heads the River
Foundation, talks up Cutler as the project’s savior.
June 5, 1992
Clouds don’t give park a break
In a waterlogged clearing in the woods east of Roanoke, Explore planners held a barbecue to
mark the reassembly of the 1830s farmhouse that will serve as the park’s focal point for

�teaching visitors about what life on the Appalachian frontier was like. This no scrawny log cabin,
but a real house—two stories in all. The reassembly cost $240,000 in private funds.
June 14, 1992
The Falcon File
Peregrine falcons, once on the brink of extinction, are being re-introduced to the Roanoke
Valley. Five peregrine chicks arrived Saturday. They’ll be raised in a special “hack box” atop the
former Colonial American Bank building at Campbell and Jefferson in downtown Roanoke.
Explore Park director took an interest and campaigned to bring peregrines to Roanoke.
Downtown Roanoke spearheaded an $8,000 fundraising drive.
July 15, 1992
Associated Press (Daily Press, Newport News and other papers)
Park board agrees to pay for expenses
Money to come from land fund
Explore Park received financial breathing room Tuesday when its board agreed to pay operating
expenses for educational programming by tapping state funds originally allocated for buying
land. “Our backs are to the wall as far as funding,” director Rupert Cutler said. The board
received $6 million from the General Assembly in 1988 to buy land. Project Engineer Richard
Burfron said that’s all the land [1,300 acres] the park needs for awhile.
July 16, 1992
Richmond Times-Dispatch
New center to breed wildlife
Virginia’s Explore Project and Mill Mountain Zo have joined forces to develop a center for the
captive breeding of endangered North American wildlife.

Explore hires top teacher
The Explore Park has hired Franklin County’s Teacher of the Year to run its education program.

Roanoke landfill to be turned into park
Project to feature visitor center, wildlife habitat

�On a miserably hot summer afternoon, Explore Park director Rupert Cutler seemed oblivious to
the garbage trucks rumbling by piles of sun-ripened trash at the Roanoke Regional Landfill.
Cutler was enraptured by his own vision of the 300-acre site beside the Roanoke River. “We can
turn this site to ecological productivity.” Cutler said a prairie at the landfill site could be
periodically “mowed” by the buffalo and elk. Robert Atkinson, an ecologist at Virginia Tech’s
Center for Environmental Studies, said he came away from the landfill tour impressed with the
concept.

                  <text>The Roanoke Story Initiative is a community-based project created by the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation and Roanoke Public Libraries to highlight historic communities and sites across the Roanoke Valley that are considered endangered due to threats to their physical survival, architectural integrity, or cultural value. This ongoing project includes story-sharing events where neighbors are asked to share documents, photographs, and their oral histories. &#13;
&#13;
The first event was held on August 4, 2026 and highlighted the community of Cave Spring, which was listed on Preservation Virginia’s 2026 List of Endangered Sites, due to an influx of commercial development. &#13;

�In 1882 Edison had
a great idea.
And it Ylasn't the
electric light.

The whole idea of investor-ownership
of electric light and power companies began when Thomas A. Edison and a group
of investors financed his first power plant
more than 80 years ago.
Since then, investor-owned companies
like ours have become an integral part of
America's Free Enterprise system. That
explains why today we have at our fingertips more electric power than any other
country in the world.
And it's this same Free Enterprise
system that puts at your fingertips greater
opportunity, greater expectation for
success than can be hoped for by any
other young people in the world.

for today's confusing insurance
problems enlist the expertise
of CLS&amp;A. Immersed in
his own business, today's executive has no time for mastering complex
insurance and bonding requirements. That's why so many
executives in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states rely on
Charles Lunsford Sons &amp; Associates ... and CL&amp;A Corporation, a
life and group affiliate. Our specialists never stop studying, to
remain abreast of rapidly changing legal precedents and changing
market conditions. They draw on over 100 years' experience to
minimize insurance costs, provide vigilant account management.
These days, when hazards are so great, shouldn't you enlist the
expertise of CLS&amp;A?

From the atom to the sun . . . the universe pulsates with energy in many forms.
The challenge is to find ways ... new
ways ... to utilize the earth's vast storehouse of fuels in providing the energy
needed for this nation to continue to be
great.
The means - innovative technologies, exotic engineering, dynamic architecture -exciting advances that must come if
man is to tap Nature 's lode for the energies
he needs .
From .the smallest part of the universe to the largest .. . that's the scope of
the energy field today. The opportunity for
personal achievement is infinite; the challenge, one that must be met.

A place to stay
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle
safely down the street
Where you con speo/., out loud
about your doubts and fears
and what's more
No one ever disappears
You'll never hear their standard
issue l&lt;iicl&lt;iing in your door
You con relax on both sides of
the trocl&lt;is
And maniocs don't blow holes
in bondsmen by remote control
Everyone hos recourse to the low
And no one tells the children
anymore.

of laughter nothing con stand

SCOREBOARD

The field hockey season represented the culmination of 5 long years. Its :mccess was largely due to a group of seniors who have been playi n? hockey since
the 8th grade; An n Smeltzer, Anne Douthat, Beth Koontz, Emily Clark, and
Caroline Tuck.

Definitely the most s1gnif1cant accom phshment for the team was de d g
C hatham Ha ll at home. Nort h Cross is the first an d only team to have , one
this in the 70 year history of Chatham's team. This barrier broken, th ere s no
limit for the future.
The team enjoyed its best season ever (7-3). As expected with_ such a record,
there were numerous awards handed out. Sarah Clark, who missed a yea r of
play, came into her ow n th is year and received the Most Improved Player
award . " Holley Hockey" Bradshaw was the top scorer (accumulating a team
record of points). Emily Cla rk's Best Defensive Award was well-deserved as
her play was crucial throughout the season as goalie. Ann Smeltzer was the
Best Offen sive player and Beth Koontz was voted Most Va lua ble Player by her
tea mmates. Mrs. Davis remarks that Koontz a nd Smeltzer a re the two best
hockey players that have ever come out of North Cross .
"The other side of that coin " says Coach Davis, "is that the season could not
have been a success without the
' work of every player on the team. "
Not enough can be said about the mea ning of such a successful seaso n . fo r
the field hockey team. lt seemed a just reward for years of hard wo rk, dnll s,

Early prospects for the volleyball team were hopeful with six
returning players (five seniors) . And the end brought forth that
hope with a winning record (11-7) of conference play, overall
( 14-9), and third place in the Blue Ridge Conference.
This was largely due to the seniors, shown by individual
awards: Lori Swann and Kim Gotard made 2nd team all conference, Michelle C a lvert and Bonnie Branch made the all tournament team. Bonnie was the exception to this as a rookie
freshman . Other returning players included Amy Hart, Lesley
Prillaman, and sophomore Marie Shockley.
Since there were so many new players, the team concentrated
on basic skills, passing, setting, and hitting. Passing was
especially important since the offense was a 5- 1I one setter and
five hitters/defensive players . They did this at t'irst because the
team was stronger with Lori setting and Bonnie as a defensive
player. However, Swann was plagued by illness throughout the
season, and 'Bonnie was switched to setter. Coach Satterwhite
comments: "For a 1st year player, she did an excellent job."
The six returning players sta rted, along with Bonnie Branch.
Bonnie and Quinn Feldman were also back row defensive
specialists. Besides these two, the other new players were
~o~homor~s Blair Fishburn, Sinclair Ellet, Tammy Jacobs, MarJOne Mastin, and Sophie Childress.
This gives the tea m eight returning players . If they all attend
camp, hopes are high for next year as well.

The Varsity Boy's Basketball team achieved on 18-11
overall record. Its Conference record of 10-2 placed the
team first in the Southern Division.
The highlights of the season come in the form of a home
wi n over LCA in front of a pocked house , and two wins over
P.oonoke Catholic, each by one point. The Raiders also won
the P.oanoke Priv ate School Tip-Off Tournament in
December.
Individual honors won in the VIC Tournament by the
P.aiders were:
Bill Keeney: VIC All Tournament Team.
Jimmy Muscaro : All Conference.
King Tower: All Conference .
Ben Jones: Honorable Mention, All Conference.
The P.oiders will miss the leadership of Whit Wilks and Ben
Jones (1984-85 co-captains). But the return of Bill Keeney ,
Jimm y Muscaro , King Tower , and a sound returning nucleos
should field a strong 1985-86 team.

With eight returning players and three rookies, the Lady
Raiders squeol~ ed to a winning season of 10-9. At a height
disadvantage in almost every game, the girls' basketball
team spent a lot of time on defense and blocking drills in
practice.
Appropriotly , the three senior captains , Amy Hort, Beth
Koontz, and Lori Swann , held the top three scoring positions
on the team , while Lori Swann , Morie Shocl~ley . and Am y
Hort were top rebounders .
The season was highlighted by two wins over LCA during
the season , JJ-27 and JJ-JO. These two games were a lso
responsible for the team finishing with a winning record .
With eight returning players ne xt year, none of w hich will
be seniors, the team looks like will show some strong times
to come in the future.
