On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E. Fulton concerning family news.\n         A letter of August 18, 1933, from Rev. \n          H. G. Allen discusses the death of \n          Shipton K. C. Sanders . \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders wrote from the \n          Department of Agriculture and Immigration,\n         discussing breed of cattle and mentioning the effect of the\n         war or prospects for war on farm products (November 10, 1939);\n         and, giving a comparison of the business boom during the\n         Spanish-American War, World War I, and the current one,\n         mentioning the growing business activity at Radford with some\n         eight thousand working, and commenting on low patriotism,\n         partly due to salary conflicts.","Letters, 1924-1925, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders, Jr. discuss life at \n          Hampden-Sidney . Letters of March 1 and 22\n         refer to his bid to an honorary fraternity [ \n          The 13 Society ], which chose \"all round\n         good men,\" who were then only known as members during their\n         senior year.","Letters, 1939-1946, from \n          Friel Tate Sanders (1915-1959) cover\n         chiefly the period during World War II. During February 1943\n         through April 1945, he was stationed in China. On March 20, he\n         wrote that he arrived at his assigned post and was living in a\n         private home and described life there. His letter of July 20,\n         1943 mentioned that the foods were similar, such as new\n         potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, and watermelon. On\n         July 31, 1944, he has heard good news and broadcasts about the\n         Germans and Japanese. On November 28, 1944, he wrote that he\n         has been moved to a new station; and, on March 20, 1945, he\n         wrote that he is awaiting orders to go home. He wrote, from \n          Miami Beach, Florida , on May 18, 1945,\n         that the war was over, that he has finished processing and is\n         awaiting a new assignment, that some materials are being\n         released, such as tires, and that there is a possibility of an\n         increase in gas allowance. During June through August 1945, he\n         wrote from \n          Stuttgart, Arkansas , concerning work and\n         continuing studies under the G.I. Bill. Letters of October 31\n         and December 19, 1946, are concerned with his marriage to \n          Nelda Rose Hunter .","Other correspondents or topics of interest are: \" \n          Hollins College \" folder -- \n          E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E.

On March 20, he\n         wrote that he arrived at his assigned post and was living in a\n         private home and described life there. His letter of July 20,\n         1943 mentioned that the foods were similar, such as new\n         potatoes, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, and watermelon. On\n         July 31, 1944, he has heard good news and broadcasts about the\n         Germans and Japanese. On November 28, 1944, he wrote that he\n         has been moved to a new station; and, on March 20, 1945, he\n         wrote that he is awaiting orders to go home. He wrote, from \n          Miami Beach, Florida , on May 18, 1945,\n         that the war was over, that he has finished processing and is\n         awaiting a new assignment, that some materials are being\n         released, such as tires, and that there is a possibility of an\n         increase in gas allowance. During June through August 1945, he\n         wrote from \n          Stuttgart, Arkansas , concerning work and\n         continuing studies under the G.I. Bill. Letters of October 31\n         and December 19, 1946, are concerned with his marriage to \n          Nelda Rose Hunter .","Other correspondents or topics of interest are: \" \n          Hollins College \" folder -- \n          E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eCamp Pickett, Virginia\u003c/geogname\u003e, the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n         \u003cpersname\u003eWalt Disney\u003c/persname\u003eand that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eItaly\u003c/geogname\u003e. On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePacific\u003c/geogname\u003e; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRome\u003c/geogname\u003ein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNaples\u003c/geogname\u003efor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E.

On February 27, 1942, he wrote about camp life\n         [probably in North Africa]. During October through December\n         1942, he was at \n          Camp Pickett, Virginia , the location of\n         new headquarters. During 1943, he wrote from North Africa.\n         There are letters revealing his work in the supply section and\n         with the Special Services branch, planning athletic and\n         entertainment programs, and commenting on Arab lifestyles\n         (March 16); mentioning news of a friend \"Jean,\" who had her\n         picture taken with \n          Walt Disney and that two Virginia medical\n         units are nearby (April 24); discussing organizational changes\n         and inquiring about rationing at home (May 17); referring to\n         his teaching school, a class for 2nd lieutenants and enlisted\n         men (July 9); remarking that recent developments make it\n         harder to identify friend or enemy (October 3); and, relating\n         news of the death of young Graham, son of Dave and Verna and\n         the sale of the Graham farm (October 3, November 10). From\n         November 1943 until October 30, 1945, he was in \n          Italy . On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n          North Africa , that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n          Pacific ; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n          Rome in charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n          Naples for six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home. There is also a letter,\n         January 31, 1947, concerning a training session re: crude\n         petroleum.","Letters, 1926-1947, from \n          Edwin Hanson Sanders (1871-1948), and\n         related correspondence, discuss family and business matters.\n         There is a letter, April 5, 1929, from \n          Shipton Kincannon Curran Sanders (his\n         mother) to \n          William E.

On November 27, 1943, he wrote,\n         after arriving, that the people and the country were quite\n         different than in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNorth Africa\u003c/geogname\u003e, that fruits and nuts were\n         plentiful but that there was a shortage of other foods, that\n         the land was more fertile but that the destruction greater,\n         and that the people were easier to talk to than the French. On\n         May 29, 1944, he reported that he was doing special work away\n         from his unit and having a chance to see more of the country.\n         By June 23, 1944, he returned to his unit and found many\n         changes, which he also mentioned in his letter of August 18,\n         1944. In his letter of September 19, 1944, he speculated as to\n         when the war would be over and whether they would go to the \n         \u003cgeogname\u003ePacific\u003c/geogname\u003e; mentioned casting his vote for\n         Roosevelt; and being sent to \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eRome\u003c/geogname\u003ein charge of a group of men going\n         there to rest, where he got the chance to tour certain points\n         of interest. There are several letters following that discuss\n         general news about the war and his family at home. On May 9,\n         1945, he was anxious to hear about the point system and\n         expected to remain in \n         \u003cgeogname\u003eNaples\u003c/geogname\u003efor six or eight months. And, on\n         May 25, he wrote that service troops would be the last to\n         return home. On July 12, 1945, he wrote that they are now\n         preparing equipment for the East, that there were 3,000\n         soldiers, civilians, and POWs in one shop, and that he was now\n         executive officer. Through the end of 1945, his letters are\n         filled with hopes of returning home.

West Virginia achieved its statehood in 1863, and split from the Diocese in 1877. In 1892 the Diocese of Southern Virginia was formed, and in 1919 the western part of the diocese split off to form the Episcopal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia. ","Robert Carter Jett, D.D. (1865-1950), of the Virginia Episcopal School, was consecrated Bishop of the Diocese in March 1920. He selected Roanoke as the headquarters, and St. John's for his parish church. Bishop Jett established a diocesan newsletter, encouraged interdenominational cooperation among the Protestant sects, and oversaw a program of church construction and the growth of mission schools. ","In 1938 Bishop Jett retired and Henry Disbrow Phillips (1882-1955) assumed the duties of Bishop of the Diocese. Under Phillips' leadership, the Diocese continued to expand in parishioners and influence, most notably in the growth in the Diocese's function in education. ","William Henry Marmion, D.D. (1907-2002), became the third Bishop of Southwestern Virginia in May 1954, and led the Diocese through an era of social upheaval in the 1960s. Bishop Marmion was strongly against racial segregation, and was confronted with the problem of challenging the long-held beliefs of many of his parishioners while integrating Black people into the church at the same time. The 1960s and 1970s also saw women pushing for a higher status in society, and the Diocese saw women increasingly become part of the church leadership as lay readers, deacons, and priests. Bishop Marmion also guided his parish into accepting the revisions of the Book of Common Prayer. ","Bishop Marmion retired in 1979, and A. Heath Light (b. 1929) assumed leadership that same year until 1996. Bishop F. Neff Powell served from 1996 to 2013, when Mark Bourlakas assumed the bishopric.
