","Before Easton earned her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Washington in Seattle in 1966, she attended the College of Art and Architecture at the University of Oregon, Eugene from 1958 to 1962, and Portland State College from 1961 to 1962. For her thesis project at the University of Washington, she developed a design for a Community Center based on the needs of the, at the time, impoverished Central Seattle area community. She participated in study abroad programs in Mexico and Europe where she studied historic and modern architecture and patterns of urban development. As part of her continuing education, she also took courses in real estate law and construction at Temple University in Philadelphia. ","As an independent architect, Easton developed the \"street school\" concept that was used for the Mantua-Powelton Mini-School in West Philadelphia. This was an urban renewal project focused on refurbishing an abandoned factory building to house a small, integrated, and community-controlled school. The project was written about in two issues of  Progressive Architecture ,  Design and Planning: The New Schools  by James Morisseau, and in  Women in American Architecture: A Historic and Contemporary Perspective , edited by Susana Torre. After her work on the mini-school she went on to work as a draftsperson, job captain, and staff architect at several firms and on a variety of projects, including hospitals, churches, and schools. As job captain at Victor H. Wilburn \u0026 Associates, she produced a report, included in this collection, analyzing the programs of the Wilmington Housing Authority and proposing measures and policy adjustments to make their programs more effective.","From 1973 to 1979 she worked as the Director of Technical Services at the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was responsible for setting up a complete program for the Technical Services Division of the Agency to oversee review of all drawings and specifications, review of utility analyses, review of construction cost estimates, inspection of construction, and approval of construction drawings. Additionally, she was responsible for making hiring decisions and managing a staff of sixteen employees. During her tenure the PHFA completed more than fifty projects aimed at families and the elderly, some rehabilitations, as well as high-rise, mid-rise, garden, and townhouse constructions, some with commercial facilities included.","After moving to California in the spring of 1979, Easton worked as a project manager and architect for several firms before being hired on as a managing architect at the Alameda County Public Works Agency in Hayward, California. There she was responsible for managing the complete process of design, contract administration, and construction of County buildings and renovation projects. Projects Easton worked on included the East County Animal Shelter, the Turner Court Operations building, the Highland General Hospital clinic building and medical records projects, renovations to parts of the Alameda County Administration Building, and the East County Hall of Justice. ","She was an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), serving over several years as secretary, treasurer, vice president, and president of the Central Pennsylvania chapter, and on various organizational committees. From 1973 to 1979 she served on the Harrisburg Community Development Forum, and as committee chair from 1977 to 1978. She was a steering committee member of the Organization of Women Architects (OWA), based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she volunteered with the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco, organizing historic house tours and serving as president from 2005 to 2006.","The guide to the Merle Easton Architectural Collection by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the Merle Easton Architectural Collection was completed in September 2021.","This collection contains a mixture of professional papers, as well as office and project records.

Personal Papers, 1917-2003: Included in this series are materials that document the lives and careers of Alfred and Virle Payne. The series is divided into two subseries: Subseries A contains papers relating to Alfred Payne and includes such materials as biographical sketches, certificates and tributes; general personal correspondence; press clippings; and photographs. Apart from the biographical sketches, filed at the beginning of the subseries, and the correspondence and photographs gathered at the end, the subseries is arranged alphabetically. Subseries B relates to Virle Payne's early life, focusing largely on her academic activities from high school through Winthrop College and postgraduate work at the University of Tennessee, as well as her brief employment at Anderson College and her involvement with Baptist Student Union. The subseries, arranged alphabetically, contains correspondence, reports, programs, and ephemera. ","Series II. Public Addresses, 1946-2003: Materials in this series relate to Payne's many spiritual orations, including benedictions, blessings and graces, invocations, and general prayers delivered at athletic events, memorial services, building dedications, and many other public events; as well as general public remarks. Many of the files include the texts and/or drafts of Payne's orations. Many also include background notes and information about the people or organizations for which the address was delivered and programs for the events at which they were delivered. Some of the files document specific events at which Payne spoke, other files are broader, grouping similar events together under a broad heading (e.g., \"Basketball Games\"). The series is generally arranged alphabetically, but unidentified addresses are gathered under general headings at the end of the series. ","Series III. Writings, 1945-2003: This series includes working papers (notes, drafts, correspondence) relating to Payne's two books,  A University at Prayer  and  A Community at Prayer , as well as additional projects that never reached publication. Also included are a collection of typescript drafts of pieces that were later published and papers intended for distribution but not publication. The series concludes with a large collection of book reviews--both typescript drafts and published pieces--written by Payne.","Series IV. Subject Files, 1929-2003: Arranged alphabetically, this series documents many subjects in which Payne had a personal interest, including individuals and organizations with which he had a personal connection; or that he gathered as supporting materials when composing his own works. The series is arranged alphabetically by topic.  Content Warning: This collection contains materials gathered by Payne during his World War II military service that users may find distressing or offensive, including symbols and propaganda associated with the Nazi regime and images of atrocities committed during the war. Specific materials, such as a swastika armband, images of Adolf Hitler, and photographs of corpses may be distressing or offensive to users.

After graduating from Cartersville High School, he obatined a BS in general science at Clemson University in 1938. ","Following graduation, Payne accepted a position as assistant secretary of the YMCA at Texas A. \u0026 M. University. In 1941, he married Virginia Virle Crow (1917-2014); the couple would have two daughters. ","During World War II, Payne served as a captain of infantry in the European Theatre of Operations and participated in the liberation of Paris, earning five battle stars and the Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster.","Following his military service, Payne attended Yale University Divinity School, receiving a bachelor's of divinity in religion and higher education in 1946. That same year, he was named associate secretary of the YMCA at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and was ordained at Blacksburg Baptist Church the following year. ","In 1949, Payne accepted a position with the YMCA at the University of Pittsburgh, and from 1951 to 1953, he took postgraduate courses in philosophy at the university. Payne returned to Virginia Tech in 1958, succeeding Paul Derring as secretary of the YMCA. He was appointed assistant to the dean of students in 1964 and later as counselor for relgious affairs. Among his duties during this time, Payne was responsible for supervision of the Memorial Chapel, coordination of campus religious programs, and serving as a liaison with off-campus churches and clergy. ","A popular public speaker, Payne was frequently called upon for invocations, benedictions and blessings, as well as remarks at campus and local events. He formally retired from the university in 1981 but continued to be very active on campus and in various community and civic organizations. In 1987, he published a collection of his campus prayers in  A University at Prayer , followed by  A Community at Prayer  in 1993. He also wrote a number of essays for various publications and hundreds of published book reviews. In 1993, Virginia Tech recognized his service by naming Payne Hall in his honor. ","Alfred C.

Known as the father of wireless communications, Gross invented the walkie-talkie in 1938 at age 20 and by 1941 the Office of Strategic Services (now known as the CIA) was eager to develop a lightweight, portable communications system for air-to-ground contact. The OSS recruited Gross and he devised the \"Joan-Eleanor System\" using Hertzian radio waves which were virtually impossible to intercept even from behind emeny lines. Gross' invention was a huge success and was praised by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff as being one of the most successful wireless intelligence gathering methods ever employed.","After the war, Gross formed the Citizens Radio Corporation and sold his units to the public, mostly to farmers and the US Coast Guard. In 1949 Gross had another breakthrough invention, the telephone pager. That same year Gross attended a medical conference in Philadelphia to introduce the pager system to doctors. Unfortunately, many of the doctors were apprehensive of the device stating it would interfere with their leisure time or upset their patients. The pager never caught on for Gross, proving he was decades ahead of his time.","Gross continued to invent for his entire lifespan, compiling 12 patents. But Gross' patents expired long before the world was ready for pagers, cell phones, and CB radio. Instead of reaping the monetary benefits of his inventions, Gross is rich in awards and recognitions. Most recently, Gross became the sixth person to be awarded the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. Eight months later on December 28, 2000, Gross died at his Arizona home.","The guide to the Gross, Al Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The Al Gross papers are comprised of the following series: Employment, Publications, Inventions and Patents, Awards and Achievements, Personal Material, Technical Data, Radio Material, Government, Subject Files, and Oversize Materials.

With his contributions in the wireless field, Al Gross became well known worldwide in the wireless front and companies such as True Temper and GTE Sylvania hired Gross not only for his engineering skill but for public relations as well. One example is Gross appearing on the popular television show \"To Tell the Truth\" while he worked for True Temper. Photographs of Gross on \"To Tell the Truth\" are located in the Personal Material series (1918-2000, n.d.) which also includes material spanning from Gross' Junior High School to notes on retirement. Also included are correspondence letters, resumes, and personal certificates.","The Publications series (1945-2000, n.d.) contains a comprehensive list of articles written about Gross and his work as well as articles written by Gross himself. Other publications used primarily for reference are found in the Technical Data series (1943-99, n.d.). Highlighting the series are technical diagrams, charts, and manuals. More information on the work of Al Gross can be found in the Inventions and Patents series (1909-2000, n.d.). Included in the series is a comprehensive photo collection and early drawings of inventions such as the Antenna, Citizens Transceiver, and the wrist-watch walkie-talkie. Complementing the material are photocopied patents with descriptions.","The Government series (1937-90, n.d.) includes materials from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which recruited Gross and his walkie-talkies in World War II. Also included are five folders from the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) which gave Gross the rights to the first \"Citizens Radio Service\" after World War II. The FCC also served as the distributor of radio licenses. Original and photocopied licenses of Gross can be found in the Radio Material series (1934-86, n.d.) which also includes material from his amateur radio station W8PAL such as a station log and data book.","Complementing his lifetime of work in the wireless field is a vast collection of recognitions found in the Awards, Achievements series (1959-2000, n.d.). The series includes eighteen different awards and recognitions Al Gross received including awards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) of which he was a Fellow member. Other awards of Gross are found in boxes 16, 17, and 21. More information on the IEEE can be found in the Subject Files series (1947-96, n.d.) which includes theses, stock certificates, and material highlighting Gross' visit to Virginia Tech.","The Oversize Materials series consists of items such as his awards, blueprints, and original documents which were pulled from the other series as they were too large for inclusion with other items in the series. Key items highlighting the inventor's career are on permanent exhibit in Torgerson Hall.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

Known as the father of wireless communications, Gross invented the walkie-talkie in 1938 at age 20 and by 1941 the Office of Strategic Services (now known as the CIA) was eager to develop a lightweight, portable communications system for air-to-ground contact. The OSS recruited Gross and he devised the \"Joan-Eleanor System\" using Hertzian radio waves which were virtually impossible to intercept even from behind emeny lines. Gross' invention was a huge success and was praised by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff as being one of the most successful wireless intelligence gathering methods ever employed.","After the war, Gross formed the Citizens Radio Corporation and sold his units to the public, mostly to farmers and the US Coast Guard. In 1949 Gross had another breakthrough invention, the telephone pager. That same year Gross attended a medical conference in Philadelphia to introduce the pager system to doctors. Unfortunately, many of the doctors were apprehensive of the device stating it would interfere with their leisure time or upset their patients. The pager never caught on for Gross, proving he was decades ahead of his time.","Gross continued to invent for his entire lifespan, compiling 12 patents. But Gross' patents expired long before the world was ready for pagers, cell phones, and CB radio. Instead of reaping the monetary benefits of his inventions, Gross is rich in awards and recognitions. Most recently, Gross became the sixth person to be awarded the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. Eight months later on December 28, 2000, Gross died at his Arizona home.","The guide to the Gross, Al Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The Al Gross papers are comprised of the following series: Employment, Publications, Inventions and Patents, Awards and Achievements, Personal Material, Technical Data, Radio Material, Government, Subject Files, and Oversize Materials.
