Everyone Else
 Dean Edward C. Atwood lives in retirement in Southbury, Connecticut. His son, Terry, graduated from W&L in 1977 and now works in Canada. His wife, June, died about five years ago. |
 Dr. Sidney Coulling and his wife, Mary, live at Kendal, a retirement village west of Lexington. (As do many other retired W&L people.) In the years since we graduated, Mrs. Coulling has written two books: The Lee Girls, about you-know-who, and Margaret Junkin Preston: A Biography, about a talented, much-lauded 19th-century poetess who was the daughter of a Washington College president, wife of a V.M.I. professor and sister-in-law of Stonewall Jackson (and Jackson’s extremely good friend after his own wife died). |

 Prof. Jefferson Davis Futch, who joined the faculty in 1962, is still teaching; it’s said this may be his last year (though that’s been heard before). This photo is from the 250th anniversary book, Come Cheer. For a time he shared a classroom with the anthropology department, and this he called Nancy Reagan. |

 Prof. Delos Hughes took early retirement. He spends the winter months in his home in Auburn, Alabama, and the spring, summer, and fall in Rockbridge. He has just finished restoring an 1830s house near Natural Bridge and is landscaping it now. His interest in political science has expanded to include courthouse architecture (topics that aren’t entirely unrelated, if you think  about it) and is carrying out research for a book on southern courthouses. With Pam Simpson of the art department he was co-editor of the architectural journal Arris (named for the sharp ridge between adjoining channels of a Doric column, but you knew that) from 1999 to 2001; they also co-chaired a meeting of the southeastern chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and continues to presents papers at the group’s annual meeting. |
 Prof. William A. Jenks just turned 90 and the history department honored him with a specially published festschrift. |

Prof. John M. Gunn is as active as ever and, although long retired from classroom teaching, still has an office on campus. (Imagine the trauma if he ever had to clean it out.) He is a sought-after mentor to today’s students – someone described him recently as the new L.K. Johnson. The 2005 recipient of the New York Alumni Chapter’s award of merit, he is a godfather of the university's seven-year-old 
Prof. Charles F. Phillips Jr. is retired and recovered from a big cardiac incident a few years ago. He is also recovering from several long terms as mayor of Lexington. Until recently he was head of the United Way and today is raising funds for the Maury River Senior Center in Buena Vista. He remains active in the affairs of the Lexington Presbyterian Church.
