After obtaining a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Virginia Tech in 1942, Holden joined the U. S. Army and served with the Coast Artillery Corps and Corps of Engineers during World War II. Following the war, Holden worked briefly at the Glenn L. Martin Company--specializing in design of aircaft controls, heating and ventilation, and electronic equipment--before joining ACF Industries in 1947. As chief project engineer for railroad tank cars, Holden designed and developed new containers and manufacturing methods. His curriculum vita during this time period lists three patents held in his name. In 1973, Holden became a technical service engineer for the Bureau of Explosives (later Hazardous Materials Systems) within the Association of American Railroads (AAR). At the AAR, Holden responded to questions from manufacturers,  shippers, and railroad inspectors regarding tank car problems; assisted in the preparation of technical manuals; and participated in responses to--and clean-up of--railroad tank car accidents. He participated in technical meetings of the Chlorine Institute, the National LP Gas Association, and the AAR's Tank Car Committee and was involved in the establishment of the Transportation Test Center's Tank Car Safety School. He also presented technical papers and delivered addresses on the transportation of hazardous materials and emergency response, and he was sometimes called upon as an expert witness in court actions. He married Jane Elizabeth Hockenberry (1924-2015); the couple had one daughter. Roy Jay Holden Jr. died in Washington, D.

After obtaining a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Virginia Tech in 1942, Holden joined the U. S. Army and served with the Coast Artillery Corps and Corps of Engineers during World War II. Following the war, Holden worked briefly at the Glenn L. Martin Company--specializing in design of aircaft controls, heating and ventilation, and electronic equipment--before joining ACF Industries in 1947. As chief project engineer for railroad tank cars, Holden designed and developed new containers and manufacturing methods. His curriculum vita during this time period lists three patents held in his name. In 1973, Holden became a technical service engineer for the Bureau of Explosives (later Hazardous Materials Systems) within the Association of American Railroads (AAR). At the AAR, Holden responded to questions from manufacturers,  shippers, and railroad inspectors regarding tank car problems; assisted in the preparation of technical manuals; and participated in responses to--and clean-up of--railroad tank car accidents. He participated in technical meetings of the Chlorine Institute, the National LP Gas Association, and the AAR's Tank Car Committee and was involved in the establishment of the Transportation Test Center's Tank Car Safety School. He also presented technical papers and delivered addresses on the transportation of hazardous materials and emergency response, and he was sometimes called upon as an expert witness in court actions. He married Jane Elizabeth Hockenberry (1924-2015); the couple had one daughter. Roy Jay Holden Jr. died in Washington, D.

(Scott)--the Sandys raised Holstein cattle, Burkeshire hogs and Plymouth Rock chickens. Sandy also served as rector of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute's board of visitors. ","In 1907, Sandy was appointed Virginia's first county farm demonstration agent. Working from the state's first extension office in Burkeville, Sandy served a three-county region and hired other agents to assist him. Under his leadership, boys' corn clubs and girls' canning clubs were developed. In 1914, the agency's administration was transferred to Virginia Polytechnic Institute, becoming the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. Sandy served as a demonstration agent until 1917, when illness and his sons' absence from the farm forced him to retire. Thomas O. Sandy died on June 7, 1919. Sandy Hall, on the Virginia Tech campus, is named in his honor. ","The guide to the Thomas O.
