Dr. Alan Patrick Llewelyn Prest, Jr. was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in Massachusetts.  He earned a degree in business from Lehigh University in 1951 before receiving his Masters of Divinity from the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1954. Following his residency in clinical pastoral education at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston, Texas, Prest served a chaplain at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. ","After a short tenure at Bellevue, Prest came to the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) where he succeeded the Rev. Dr. George D. Ossman who had served as the first chaplain and as a clinical pastoral educator beginning in 1943. The MCV administration tasked Prest with securing accreditation for the clinical pastoral education program which had been initiated in 1958. Under Prest's leadership the program received accreditation from the Council for Clinical Training (now the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education) one year later.

At first, his work consisted of prop fabrication and live character roles. Later, his contributions expanded to include stage management, and since 1997, he has served as the shop foreman for the fabrication department. ","Since 1988, Gorman has also been heavily involved in an artist collective, production company, and independent record label named \"Slave Pit\" that was founded in 1984 and originally housed in the Richmond Dairy building in Jackson Ward in Richmond, Virginia. [1] Gorman has been a contributing writer, penciler, inker, and colorist for Slave Pit's self-published \"Slave Pit Funnies.\" Besides GWAR, the collective also worked with Death Piggy, Dave Brockie Experience, X-Cops, Locus Factor, and Mensrea.","\n[1] - This collective of mostly (or entirely) white artists chose to name their company \"Slave Pit\" when, in the 1840s and 1850s, Richmond was the largest market for the sale of enslaved people in the upper South, and the Jackson Ward area they operated out of is a historically Black neighborhood that white business owners and the Virginia General Assembly disenfranchised through red lining, strategic condemnation of thousands of houses and apartments, and by building a highway through the middle of the neighborhood in the 1950s.","In a 2015 TEDxRVA Talk titled \"GWAR and Regional Identity in Richmond, VA,\" Michael Bishop (a GWAR bassist and singer) discussed the name of the production company. In it, he argued that the collective's use of the word \"slave\" was meant as a \"DIY ethic of punk rock\" and \"voluntary devotion to art\" that \"represents the freedom to create.\" However, he also stated that \"we can't divorce that word from the concept of slavery, especially not in Richmond, Virginia,\" and that the name \"betrays privilege, it betrays GWAR identity in that in our narrative, slavery is an option, just like it was an option for us to live and work in Jackson Ward, and it might not have been that way for the other people who lived there.\" Although the record label is now named \"Pit Records,\" the name for the artist collective and production company has not been changed (as of July 2025).","Collection includes original art by Bob Gorman; promotional flyers from Metal Blade Records on GWAR shows and album releases, as well as other acts signed to Metal Blade Records; promotional flyers for events at Hardywood Brewery, and two Richmond newspapers discussing GWAR.","The majority of the collection materials were created in the early 2000s, with some materials created as far back as 1992 and as late as 2016.","VCU James Branch Cabell Library","GWAR (Musical group)","Metal Blade Records (Firm)","Gorman, Bob (Artist)","English"],"unitid_tesim":["M 574","/repositories/5/resources/647"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Bob Gorman GWAR and Richmond flyer collection"],"collection_title_tesim":["Bob Gorman GWAR and Richmond flyer collection"],"collection_ssim":["Bob Gorman GWAR and Richmond flyer collection"],"repository_ssm":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"repository_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"creator_ssm":["Gorman, Bob (Artist)","Gorman, Bob (Artist)"],"creator_ssim":["Gorman, Bob (Artist)","Gorman, Bob (Artist)"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Gorman, Bob (Artist)","Gorman, Bob (Artist)"],"creators_ssim":["Gorman, Bob (Artist)","Gorman, Bob (Artist)"],"acqinfo_ssim":["Gift of Robert \"Bob\" Gorman, 2018."],"access_subjects_ssim":["Heavy metal (Music) -- Virginia -- Richmond","Rock groups -- Virginia -- Richmond","Music posters","posters","fliers (printed matter)","printed ephemera"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Heavy metal (Music) -- Virginia -- Richmond","Rock groups -- Virginia -- Richmond","Music posters","posters","fliers (printed matter)","printed ephemera"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["1.6 Linear Feet 1 oversize folder in a print box housing multiple collections"],"extent_tesim":["1.6 Linear Feet 1 oversize folder in a print box housing multiple collections"],"genreform_ssim":["Music posters","posters","fliers (printed matter)","printed ephemera"],"date_range_isim":[1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eRobert \"Bob\" Gorman has been working with GWAR, a heavy metal band with science fiction and mythological themes and a rotating line-up of musicians formed in Richmond, VA, since 1988.

She attended George Mason College (now George Mason University) in Fairfax, Virginia in the 1960s where she studied psychology. During her time at George Mason College, Atwood joined classes at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC.  While there, she became involved in various activist causes such as the women's movement, the Vietnam peace movement, and the Civil Rights movement by collaborating in think tanks and alternative newspapers. ","After the classes at IPS ended, Atwood and her classmates continued to meet, calling themselves the Washington Women's Liberation group.

In 1993, she attended law school at the University of Richmond, focusing on disability law. While attending the university, Atwood wrote for the school newspaper's etiquette column. She graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1996.

The files pertain to women's health, women's history, women in the news, and general feminist theory and are primarily in the  form of pamphlets, essays, newsletters, and flyers. Files related to specific feminist groups and goals Atwood supported include the International Institute for Women's Studies in Northern Virginia, the Virginia Foundation for Women, and the Washington Women's Liberation Bulletin which all operated to educate women on the core concepts of second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.","An additional theme represented in Atwood's subject files is anti-war material. Included are studies and informational pamphlets exploring the effects of the Vietnam War and the draft on society, as well as material promoting protests and legislative action against the war.

Her efforts include advocating for the rights of women as homemakers and protesting the Catholic annulment system. Atwood was born in Arlington, Virginia in 1947. She attended George Mason College (now George Mason University) in Fairfax, Virginia in the 1960s where she studied psychology. During her time at George Mason College, Atwood joined classes at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC.  While there, she became involved in various activist causes such as the women's movement, the Vietnam peace movement, and the Civil Rights movement by collaborating in think tanks and alternative newspapers. ","After the classes at IPS ended, Atwood and her classmates continued to meet, calling themselves the Washington Women's Liberation group. Some members spun off into other groups such as Off Our Backs, The Furies, and The Witches. These groups created alternative news publications focusing on their core beliefs. Atwood wrote articles and pamphlets for consciousness-raising efforts to contribute to several of these publications. ","In 1980, Atwood moved to Richmond, Virginia where she worked as a freelance writer for the Richmond Times-Dispatch while raising her child. During that period, Atwood became involved in advocacy groups for the support of women's rights in the marriage annulment process practiced by the Catholic Church. In 1993, she attended law school at the University of Richmond, focusing on disability law. While attending the university, Atwood wrote for the school newspaper's etiquette column.

The files pertain to women's health, women's history, women in the news, and general feminist theory and are primarily in the  form of pamphlets, essays, newsletters, and flyers. Files related to specific feminist groups and goals Atwood supported include the International Institute for Women's Studies in Northern Virginia, the Virginia Foundation for Women, and the Washington Women's Liberation Bulletin which all operated to educate women on the core concepts of second-wave feminism in the 1960s and 1970s.","An additional theme represented in Atwood's subject files is anti-war material. Included are studies and informational pamphlets exploring the effects of the Vietnam War and the draft on society, as well as material promoting protests and legislative action against the war. Correspondence included in the series is primarily with Virginia congressmen requesting action regarding the Vietnam War.","The flyers within the collection represent a wide range of topics and events which Atwood supported. Most of them promote local protests and demonstrations in the Northern Virginia and Richmond areas, while others are informational in nature to raise awareness of feminist or anti-war causes.","Series 2: Alternative News Publications and Magazines, 1969-2005: Atwood's collection also contains various issues of alternative press publications.  Many of the publications focus primarily on the promotion of non-traditional radical activism. Topics include women's liberation, anti-war, and anti-government columns.  While  the collection does not include full runs of the publications, the issues kept by Atwood reflect her opinions on these topics.","The series includes sporadic  consecutive issues for the years 1969-1970 for the alternative newspapers  Alice ,  Broadside ,  Guardian , and  Quicksilver Times . Additionally, the series contains one-off issues of other alternative publications such as the first issue of  Off Our Backs , a feminist and lesbian focused news publication which includes subjects that today would be described as LGBTQ+. Also found in this series are activist magazines, such as  The Ragged Edge  and  Mouth Magazine , written to raise awareness about living with physical and mental disabilities."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eA first printing copy of the one-shot underground comic \u003ctitle\u003eIt Ain't Me, Babe\u003c/title\u003e has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eA copy of the LP record \u003ctitle\u003eMessage to the Grass Roots from Malcom X\u003c/title\u003e has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately. \u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["A first printing copy of the one-shot underground comic  It Ain't Me, Babe  has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.","A copy of the LP record  Message to the Grass Roots from Malcom X  has been removed from the collection and cataloged separately.
