As a child, Jean taught her younger siblings, David, Doris, Donald and Robert, in what her father called the \"Lokerson Family School\" set up in the basement of her childhood home (Richmond Times Dispatch, 2016). She received her B.A. in Elementary Education in 1959 from George Washington University, her M.S. in Special Education from Syracuse in 1965 and her Ph.D. in Special Education (with a minor in Human Development) in 1970 from University of Maryland.","She taught at the University of Maryland from 1968 to 1970, Southern Connecticut State University from 1970-1972, Northern Illinois University from 1972-1974, and Indiana University during the summer of 1975. Her career at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) began in 1974, when she was hired as an assistant professor in VCU's School of Education. She was the director at the Reading and Child Study Center from 1981-1983. Lokerson retired in 1996 but continued to teach at VCU as a professor emerita.","Dr. Elise Blankenship, who also studied at Syracuse, came to VCU around the same time as Lokerson. Together, Blankenship and Lokerson were known as leaders in teacher (and parent) education on understanding and working with children with learning disabilities (School of Education, undated). Blankenship and Lokerson lived, published, presented, and worked together throughout their 50 years of knowing one another.","Jean, who had muscular dystrophy, dedicated herself towards improving the lives and education of others with disabilities through her work at VCU, and through her professional service. Organizations that Jean was heavily involved with and took on leadership roles include: Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the Division of Learning Disabilities (CEC-DLD), the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA), and the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD). She continued volunteering her time and expertise with many of these organizations after her retirement from VCU.","Jean Lokerson died at the age of 79 on November 7, 2016.","\nMore information about Jean E.

The three librarians behind this meeting are considered MAC's founders: Estelle Brodman, Scott Adams, and Ida Marian Robinson. "," At the second meeting, in 1953, a study committee recommended that the group affiliate with the Medical Library Association, but retain semi-independent status. Passage of the 1964 Library Assistance Act led to grouping Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina together as Region IV. Similarly the Washington area group expanded its boarders to take in North Carolina, formerly associated with a southern group, and West Virginia. In the early years the group had no formal officers although a chair was designated to handle the details of the annual meetings. The meetings rotated between the various states of the group. "," At the 1971 annual meeting, the group's name was changed to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Group (MARG). Three years later the group began discussions to establish a more formal organizational framework to coincide with discussions held at the national level. MLA adopted a new group structure in 1979 that brought additional changes for MARG. "," In 1981 MARG was reorganized into a chapter, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC). It completed its mandatory three-year test for compliance with MLA chapter guidelines in 1985. The semiannual newsletter,  MAC Messages , began in 1984. The newsletter would become quarterly in 1986, then bimonthly in 1990.  MAC Messages  was published  online  beginning in 1995. "," Additional information on the  history of MAC  is available on the organization's web site.","MAC officers and committee chairs retained the records of the organization until they were gathered together through the efforts of Diane McKenzie and the MAC Records Task Force.","The Collection includes the group's many committee reports (financial, membership, executive, etc.) as well as Board of Directors minutes and publications. The bulk of the collection documents the organization's annual meetings. Included are the packets, schedules, and agendas as well as planning documents for most of the annual meetings. In addition the records include membership roles, course descriptions for professional development and distance education courses, financial records, unit histories as well as copies of the  MAC Messages  newsletter. The materials date from the mid-1950s to the present. Most of the items dating from before 1974 are photocopies.","This subgroup contains the records of the MAC governing board including executive committee minutes, reports, communications, and correspondence.

The three librarians behind this meeting are considered MAC's founders: Estelle Brodman, Scott Adams, and Ida Marian Robinson. "," At the second meeting, in 1953, a study committee recommended that the group affiliate with the Medical Library Association, but retain semi-independent status. Passage of the 1964 Library Assistance Act led to grouping Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and North Carolina together as Region IV. Similarly the Washington area group expanded its boarders to take in North Carolina, formerly associated with a southern group, and West Virginia. In the early years the group had no formal officers although a chair was designated to handle the details of the annual meetings. The meetings rotated between the various states of the group. "," At the 1971 annual meeting, the group's name was changed to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Group (MARG). Three years later the group began discussions to establish a more formal organizational framework to coincide with discussions held at the national level. MLA adopted a new group structure in 1979 that brought additional changes for MARG. "," In 1981 MARG was reorganized into a chapter, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC). It completed its mandatory three-year test for compliance with MLA chapter guidelines in 1985. The semiannual newsletter,  MAC Messages , began in 1984.

He has won several awards, including Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards for his work on The Book of Ballads and Sagas, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and Jeff Smith's Rose. In 1999, he was awarded the World Fantasy Award as Best Artist for his 175 paintings for Gaiman's novel Stardust. Vess was born in Lynchburg, VA, and began drawing as a child. He went on to earn a BFA in Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1974, and his first professional position was as a commercial animator for Candy Apple Productions in Richmond, VA. He later moved to New York City, did freelance for Heavy Metal Magazine, Klutz Press, and National Lampoon, and published The Horns of Elfland. In the 1980s, his career in fantasy comic art emerged with the publishing of Marvel Comics' The Raven Banner: A Tale of Asgard, \"The Warriors Three Saga\" in Marvel Fanfare, and Dark Horse Comics' Book of Night. In the 1990s, his notable mainstream work included the one-shot Spider-Man: Spirits of Earth and a 10-issue run as the cover artist for DC's The Swamp Thing. He also illustrated the official comic book adaptation of Steven Spielberg's Hook. During the early 1990s, Vess began self-publishing through his own Green Man Press studio. As an illustrator, Vess is well-known for his collaborations and other commissioned work, most notably with Neil Gaiman (Books of Magic, Sandman, Stardust, and Blueberry Girl), Terry Windling and Ellen Datlow (The Green Man, The Faery Reel, and The Coyote Road), Charles de Lint (Seven Wild Sisters, A Circle of Cats, Moonheart, and Medicine Road), and George R.R.

However, neither this council nor the two preceding it was the start of Girl Scouting in the area. There has been active Girl Scouting in Richmond prior to the official establishment of a council, though few records of the earliest days remain. Using Boy Scout manuals and enlisting the guidance of the director of the Richmond Boy Scouts, area girls recruited adult leaders and began informal scouting groups. In November 1913, the first official Girl Scout troop in Virginia, Pansy Troop Number 1, was formed in Highland Springs. Sponsored by the Women's Study Club for Right Living of Highland Springs, the troop was founded by Mrs. Kate G. Read and Mrs. Marion T. Read. This troop eventually split into two: Pansy Troop no. 1 and Pansy Troop no. 2, due to demand from local girls for membership.","The Girl Scouts of Richmond Council was formally organized on April 12, 1921 when the first Council Meeting was held at the Jefferson Hotel with 35 adult members, 11 troops, and 75 girls. The council received its official charter on May 10 of that year as the second chartered council in Virginia. Because of the Highland Springs troop's formation in 1913 and their inclusion in the Richmond Council, 1913 is commonly used for the date of inception for the Richmond Girl Scouts. In 1928, under the leadership of Commissioner Ruth Robertson McGuire, the Richmond Council was incorporated by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.\nInitially, the Girl Scouts of Richmond was a racially exclusive organization, open only to white girls and women. Black Scouting in Richmond did not begin until 1932, when Troop 34, the first African American Girl Scout troop south of the Potomac River, was established. Mrs. Lena B. Watson of Virginia Union University (VUU) was instrumental in the group's formation  when she approached the Richmond council for permission to form a Black troop. Some council members  were supportive, but the council as a whole ultimately refused to consider it. The National Girl Scouting Headquarters became involved, forcing the Richmond council to allow the troop to form. In June 1932, the first Black troop formed at Hartshorn Hall at VUU with high school teacher Lavinia Banks as their leader.\nWhile Scouting in Richmond was developing, so too was Scouting in the southern part of Virginia. Hopewell formed its first troop in 1917, and many other troops in rural, semi-rural, and smaller urban areas followed. By 1942, the Petersburg Council organized, and the Hopewell Council formed in 1956, bringing many of the lone rural troops under the umbrella of a council. In 1958, the Hopewell Council merged with the Petersburg Council to form the Southside Council, bringing all troops in Southside Virginia Council services and support.","In response to rethinking the organization of Scouting in Virginia, the Richmond Council merged with the Southside Council to form the Commonwealth Council or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1962. During this time, troop integration became a reality for Virginia Girl Scouts. Integration began in 1963 with the Fort Lee troop. Black Scouts were allowed to participate at Camp Holly Dell for the first time, and by 1968 segregated troops were no more. \nOver the years, the councils that became the Commonwealth Council have provided programs and opportunities for girls to explore, learn, and build character through STEM, environmental stewardship, financial literacy, camping events, homemaking, and first aid. Citizenship was integral to Scouting from its inception. During World War I, Scouts entertained military troops at Fort Lee, and visited hospitals in morale-boosting calls. At least one scouting troop was so beloved for their service, that they were deemed honorary members of one of the units stationed at Fort Lee. In the Second World War, Scouts led scrap drives and defense preparedness activities. In addition to citizenship, Scouts raised awareness as well as money for their organization. In the earliest years of Scouting in Richmond, Scouts solicited donations by going door-to-door or having booths at fairs. In 1925, the Richmond Council became a member of the Community Chest, and could focus on other ways to fundraise. One successful fundraiser occurred when the troops brought John Philip Sousa and his band to Richmond, which raised a large amount of money for the organization and allowed the expansion of programs for the girls. The first cookie sale was in 1936, and approximately 11,694 pounds of cookies were sold, which allowed for expanded services, camping activities, and improved camping facilities. The annual event has been popular ever since, and continues to raise money for troop activities and support into the present day.","Camps have always been an important part of Girl Scouting. In the earliest years of the Richmond Council, white Girl Scouts used the Boy Scout camps for a few weeks every summer, but it soon became apparent that the girls needed their own camps. Eventually, the Richmond Council settled on a property in Bon Air, VA, that became Camp Pocahontas in 1928. Day Camps, held in conjunction with the YWCA, began in 1932.  Camp Pinoaka for Black Girl Scouts in Pocahontas State Park followed in 1936, and the Petersburg Council purchased Camp Holly Dell in Chesterfield in 1951. All three camps were eventually sold, and resources put into two other camps- Camp Kittamaqund, established in 1964 in the Northern Neck, and Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover County. Smaller sleep-away camps, as well as day camps, were also scattered across the tri-city area and the state.","As of 2021, the Commonwealth Council, or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of four councils in the state and serves over 17,500 girls and women in central Virginia, stretching from the cities of Emporia to Fredericksburg, with its headquarters in the greater Richmond area. It is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by delegates from the council membership. The Board is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, and setting the direction for the Council. The board consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Members-at-Large, and two girl board members. The CEO and girl members are ex-officio, non-voting members. All serve two-year terms, and may not serve more than three consecutive terms, though the Chair is eligible to serve an additional three successive terms in another position. The Board conducts its business as the entire unit and in smaller committees, such as the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Membership, and Program Committees. An Annual Meeting of the Board is held, and the Board continues to meet throughout the year, as do committees, as needed.","This collection contains many different formats.

However, neither this council nor the two preceding it was the start of Girl Scouting in the area. There has been active Girl Scouting in Richmond prior to the official establishment of a council, though few records of the earliest days remain. Using Boy Scout manuals and enlisting the guidance of the director of the Richmond Boy Scouts, area girls recruited adult leaders and began informal scouting groups. In November 1913, the first official Girl Scout troop in Virginia, Pansy Troop Number 1, was formed in Highland Springs. Sponsored by the Women's Study Club for Right Living of Highland Springs, the troop was founded by Mrs. Kate G. Read and Mrs. Marion T. Read. This troop eventually split into two: Pansy Troop no. 1 and Pansy Troop no. 2, due to demand from local girls for membership.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eThe Girl Scouts of Richmond Council was formally organized on April 12, 1921 when the first Council Meeting was held at the Jefferson Hotel with 35 adult members, 11 troops, and 75 girls. The council received its official charter on May 10 of that year as the second chartered council in Virginia. Because of the Highland Springs troop's formation in 1913 and their inclusion in the Richmond Council, 1913 is commonly used for the date of inception for the Richmond Girl Scouts. In 1928, under the leadership of Commissioner Ruth Robertson McGuire, the Richmond Council was incorporated by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.\nInitially, the Girl Scouts of Richmond was a racially exclusive organization, open only to white girls and women. Black Scouting in Richmond did not begin until 1932, when Troop 34, the first African American Girl Scout troop south of the Potomac River, was established. Mrs. Lena B. Watson of Virginia Union University (VUU) was instrumental in the group's formation  when she approached the Richmond council for permission to form a Black troop. Some council members  were supportive, but the council as a whole ultimately refused to consider it. The National Girl Scouting Headquarters became involved, forcing the Richmond council to allow the troop to form. In June 1932, the first Black troop formed at Hartshorn Hall at VUU with high school teacher Lavinia Banks as their leader.\nWhile Scouting in Richmond was developing, so too was Scouting in the southern part of Virginia. Hopewell formed its first troop in 1917, and many other troops in rural, semi-rural, and smaller urban areas followed. By 1942, the Petersburg Council organized, and the Hopewell Council formed in 1956, bringing many of the lone rural troops under the umbrella of a council. In 1958, the Hopewell Council merged with the Petersburg Council to form the Southside Council, bringing all troops in Southside Virginia Council services and support.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn response to rethinking the organization of Scouting in Virginia, the Richmond Council merged with the Southside Council to form the Commonwealth Council or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1962. During this time, troop integration became a reality for Virginia Girl Scouts. Integration began in 1963 with the Fort Lee troop. Black Scouts were allowed to participate at Camp Holly Dell for the first time, and by 1968 segregated troops were no more. \nOver the years, the councils that became the Commonwealth Council have provided programs and opportunities for girls to explore, learn, and build character through STEM, environmental stewardship, financial literacy, camping events, homemaking, and first aid. Citizenship was integral to Scouting from its inception. During World War I, Scouts entertained military troops at Fort Lee, and visited hospitals in morale-boosting calls. At least one scouting troop was so beloved for their service, that they were deemed honorary members of one of the units stationed at Fort Lee. In the Second World War, Scouts led scrap drives and defense preparedness activities. In addition to citizenship, Scouts raised awareness as well as money for their organization. In the earliest years of Scouting in Richmond, Scouts solicited donations by going door-to-door or having booths at fairs. In 1925, the Richmond Council became a member of the Community Chest, and could focus on other ways to fundraise. One successful fundraiser occurred when the troops brought John Philip Sousa and his band to Richmond, which raised a large amount of money for the organization and allowed the expansion of programs for the girls. The first cookie sale was in 1936, and approximately 11,694 pounds of cookies were sold, which allowed for expanded services, camping activities, and improved camping facilities. The annual event has been popular ever since, and continues to raise money for troop activities and support into the present day.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eCamps have always been an important part of Girl Scouting. In the earliest years of the Richmond Council, white Girl Scouts used the Boy Scout camps for a few weeks every summer, but it soon became apparent that the girls needed their own camps. Eventually, the Richmond Council settled on a property in Bon Air, VA, that became Camp Pocahontas in 1928. Day Camps, held in conjunction with the YWCA, began in 1932.  Camp Pinoaka for Black Girl Scouts in Pocahontas State Park followed in 1936, and the Petersburg Council purchased Camp Holly Dell in Chesterfield in 1951. All three camps were eventually sold, and resources put into two other camps- Camp Kittamaqund, established in 1964 in the Northern Neck, and Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover County.

He later moved to New York City, did freelance for Heavy Metal Magazine, Klutz Press, and National Lampoon, and published The Horns of Elfland. In the 1980s, his career in fantasy comic art emerged with the publishing of Marvel Comics' The Raven Banner: A Tale of Asgard, \"The Warriors Three Saga\" in Marvel Fanfare, and Dark Horse Comics' Book of Night. In the 1990s, his notable mainstream work included the one-shot Spider-Man: Spirits of Earth and a 10-issue run as the cover artist for DC's The Swamp Thing. He also illustrated the official comic book adaptation of Steven Spielberg's Hook. During the early 1990s, Vess began self-publishing through his own Green Man Press studio. As an illustrator, Vess is well-known for his collaborations and other commissioned work, most notably with Neil Gaiman (Books of Magic, Sandman, Stardust, and Blueberry Girl), Terry Windling and Ellen Datlow (The Green Man, The Faery Reel, and The Coyote Road), Charles de Lint (Seven Wild Sisters, A Circle of Cats, Moonheart, and Medicine Road), and George R.R.
