About 1945 Carson was employed with the State Road Commission of West Virginia and the Coastal and Geodetic Survey technical and research division.  He worked in developing route location studies, field surveys, and designs for roads and airports.  He was also involved in the development and computation of projections for topographical maps and aeronautical charts.  He was employed by Standard Homes Company to design and develop site plans for residential projects.  About 1951, Carson became associated with Mills, Petticord and Mills, an architectural firm located in Washington D.C.  In 1957, he set up the Norfolk branch of this firm, where he was responsible for residential development and military reservation master planning.  He was also responsible for site and landscape planning.  In January of 1964, Carson began his own firm, Carson and Associates, in Norfolk, Virginia.  His firm designed various regional projects over the many years of its existence.","During the 1960s and 1970s, Carson became involved in the local Hampton Roads art community.  He regularly exhibited his artwork at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk Art Show beginning in 1963 until 2000.  He rented a studio at the D'Art Center in Norfolk from 1986 until about 1995. Carson was the winner of 150 awards related to his artwork, including an award in 1963 from the Virginia Beach Boardwalk Art Show.  His work was exhibited in the Smithsonian's Traveling Art Show, and some of his pieces were purchased by McGraw Hill.","Mr. Carson was a member of numerous organizations including American Society of Landscape Architects, the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping, the Society of American Military Engineers, the American Horticultural Society, the Civitan Club of Norfolk, the Torch Club of Norfolk, and the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce. He served as director in 1963 and president in 1971 of the Engineers Club of Hampton Roads.  Carson was appointed to the City of Norfolk's Design Review Committee in 1983, where he became a Vice Chairman.  He became Chairman of the Design Review Committee from 2000 until 2003.  During his service in the Design Review Committee, Carson participated in the review of designs for numerous projects for the City, including the Harrison Opera House, Nauticus, MacArthur Center, and the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce.  On May 13, 2003, Norfolk City Council presented a resolution recognizing Carson's many years of service on the Design Review Committee.","Mr. Carson was married to Lily Vlasis Carson at his passing on March 3, 2004.  He was buried at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery on March 6, 2004.","Note written by Special Collections Staff"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Edward G.

Originally, theater productions took place in a 120 seat space at the Norfolk Public Library on Freemason Street. In the mid-1970s, productions were moved to a space under Chrysler Hall.  At that time, the Norfolk Theater Center became the Stage Downunder at Scope.  In a move to develop the organization into a professional theater, the organization's Board of Trustees adopted the name \"Virginia Stage Company\" and began hiring professional staff in 1978.  Planning was aided by the National Foundation for the Expansion and Development of American Theater.  With expansion plans in place, the Virginia Stage Company needed to find a venue for productions.  Out of 49 possible venues, the Norfolk Wells Theater was chosen. With the help of the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, funds were raised for the purchase of the Wells Theater.  In October 1979, the lease was purchased and initial renovations were begun.  The Virginia Stage Company premiered its opening season at the Wells on February 7, 1980.  In 1986, the Wells Theater was fully restored and became a National Historic Landmark.","The Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company. The VSC produces six plays per year running from September through April.  In addition to theater productions, the organization provides educational and community engagement programs including student matinees, in-school tours, workshops, and a summer theater camp.","References:","http://www.vastage.org/","[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company[/url]","Note written by Mel Frizzell","The collection was processed and the finding aid was created by Mel Frizzell, Special Collections Assistant, from May 2016 to March 2017.","The collection includes materials related to the Virginia Stage Company and its predecessors - the Norfolk Theater Center and the Stage Down Under.  Materials include organizational records, correspondence, budgets and financial records, event flyers and programs, personnel and membership records, marketing materials, and news clippings.  Records related to the Wells Theater, the Monroe Building, and other venues and spaces owned or leased by the organization are also included.  Materials date from 1968 to 2014.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Originally founded as the Norfolk Theater Center in 1968 and later renamed in 1978, the Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company.

Originally, theater productions took place in a 120 seat space at the Norfolk Public Library on Freemason Street. In the mid-1970s, productions were moved to a space under Chrysler Hall.  At that time, the Norfolk Theater Center became the Stage Downunder at Scope.  In a move to develop the organization into a professional theater, the organization's Board of Trustees adopted the name \"Virginia Stage Company\" and began hiring professional staff in 1978.  Planning was aided by the National Foundation for the Expansion and Development of American Theater.  With expansion plans in place, the Virginia Stage Company needed to find a venue for productions.  Out of 49 possible venues, the Norfolk Wells Theater was chosen. With the help of the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, funds were raised for the purchase of the Wells Theater.  In October 1979, the lease was purchased and initial renovations were begun.  The Virginia Stage Company premiered its opening season at the Wells on February 7, 1980.  In 1986, the Wells Theater was fully restored and became a National Historic Landmark.","The Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company. The VSC produces six plays per year running from September through April.  In addition to theater productions, the organization provides educational and community engagement programs including student matinees, in-school tours, workshops, and a summer theater camp.","References:","http://www.vastage.org/","[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Stage_Company[/url]","Note written by Mel Frizzell","The collection was processed and the finding aid was created by Mel Frizzell, Special Collections Assistant, from May 2016 to March 2017.","The collection includes materials related to the Virginia Stage Company and its predecessors - the Norfolk Theater Center and the Stage Down Under.  Materials include organizational records, correspondence, budgets and financial records, event flyers and programs, personnel and membership records, marketing materials, and news clippings.  Records related to the Wells Theater, the Monroe Building, and other venues and spaces owned or leased by the organization are also included.  Materials date from 1968 to 2014.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Originally founded as the Norfolk Theater Center in 1968 and later renamed in 1978, the Virginia Stage Company is Hampton Roads only professional theater company.
