CALDWELL	William	Addison		William Addison "Bill" Caldwell, nephew and namesake of the first student to enroll at Virginia Tech, died Nov. 12 at Richfield Nursing Center in Salem. He was 90 years old. Caldwell, a native of Radford, spurred research into the first student’s life when he donated the Bible of his uncle, who was called "Add," to Special Collections. Later, he worked to get the university to name the second-floor lounge in Johnston Student Center after Add and commissioned his own nephew, a New York artist, to paint the watercolor portrait of Add that now hangs in the Caldwell lounge. The lounge was dedicated on March 19, 1993. Bill Caldwell also donated a photograph of the first student as an adult and encouraged another relative to donate one of Add’s report cards to Special Collections. Additionally, he put a Virginia Tech writer who was researching Add’s life into contact with relatives who remembered the first student, leading to the discovery and donation of a letter written by Add. The research revealed that then-16-year-old Add Caldwell walked with his older brother, Milton, as much as 38 miles from his home in the Sinking Creek community of Craig County to register at Virginia Tech, then called Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, on Oct. 1, 1872. Mic also registered but never graduated. Add spent four years at the school, earning a certificate in agriculture with the second graduating class in 1876. He worked as a schoolteacher, clerk, and salesman before his death in 1910. He was buried in the Caldwell family cemetery in Radford, where his family had moved after he left home. On Oct. 1, 1997, Bill Caldwell was the university’s special guest at the ceremony to dedicate a state historical marker about his uncle. The event, held in Craig County, marked the 125th anniversary of the day his uncle registered at Virginia Tech.

February 12, 1974 Tom COMBITHS was a very special kind of person. In an era that has become impersonal, he remained the Southern gentleman. In an age where family ties are breaking down his, remained strong. In a business world where the premium is or aggressiveness, he was patient and understanding Tom COMBITHSs was particularly special to this newspaper in that his mother, Dess COMBITHS, is the woman's editor. Thus it was that Tom drove his mother to and from work six days a week-becoming a familiar face at The Times office and a friend to those who were even the most casual acquaintances. It was a combination of his personal warmth and knowledge that took him to the top in many fields I . In life insurance sales, he was one of the very best in the country. Civic affairs found him in such roles as Boy Scout leader, president of the Rotary Club, and vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce. He was a graduate of one of the best schools in the east, Rutgers University, and gained the rank of Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. A footballer in his school and college days, he became an avid skier in later years - and again, he excelled. But his achievements aside, Tom COMBITHS will be remembered even more as a good citizen an good friend. A very special kind of person.	February 9, 1974
