For J. William Hunt's Index for J. William Hunt's "Across the Desk" MaryJo A. Price February 2002 J. William Hunt 1893-1968 J. William Hunt loved Cumberland and wanted to preserve it. Many of the buildings he loved in his city - Barnum House, Revere House, Lowndes Home, Roman, Rose Hill- are gone. Hunt's articles, written as "Across the Desk," add to what we already know about the area. His words paint pictures so we can visualize the history of our communities. Hunt continued to write "Across the Desk" after he retired from the newspaper. For twenty-four years he researched and wrote about the history, events, both large and small, background of people and places, and fascinating pieces of information about the area. He presented ideas about the social life and customs, businesses and industries, and potential concerns of the region. His research, supplemented by his incredible memory, often opened doors for other topics and areas of interest for the community. He was gathering material for a new history of Cumberland at the time of his death. Mr. Hunt was a native of Tunnelton, West Virginia. His parents were James S. and Ella (Cruise) Hunt. Hunt graduated from Tunnelton High School and Rock Hill College in Ellicott City, Maryland. He did post-graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania. He also held an A.M. degree from LaSalle College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he taught English literature for a year. Hunt began his newspaper career with the old Cumberland Press and continued with the Cumberland Evening Times when the two newspapers consolidated in 1916. He was the Editor of the Cumberland Sunday Times from its founding in 1925 until his retirement in June of 1957. Hunt served in World War I for eleven months and was a charter member of Fort Cumberland Post 13. Hunt was a member of the Allegany County Welfare Board and was a charter member of the Allegany County League for Crippled Children. Hunt was President of the Allegany County Historical Society and a former trustee of the Society. He was co-chair for the Fort Cumberland Bicentennial and was the author of the pageant "Redskins and Redcoats." He served as assistant director of the National Marbles tournament. As organizer and manager of the Hunt Concert Course, from 1922 to 1929, he brought to Cumberland such world-famous attractions as the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the San Carlo and Manhattan opera companies, Anna Pavlova and her dance troupe, Serge Rachmaninoff, Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifitz, John McCormick, Galli Curci, Will Rogers, Sir Harry Lauder, and scores of other entertainment headliners. Mr. Hunt died unexpectedly in April of 1968 and is buried in Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Howesville, West Virginia. ii Acknowledgments Indexing the many volumes of "Across the Desk" presented challenges and frustrations that I never imagined. To the unknown person or persons who indexed the first volume, thank you. To those friends who read the index for errors, Amy Meek and Eugene Stucky, thank you for giving of your time to help proofread. If any errors remain, only I can accept responsibility. Randy Lowe and Bob Flatley, thank you for your patience when the world of technology stopped me cold and Mary Spalding Edgerly, your editing is always appreciated. To Jan Alderton, editor of the Cumberland Times-News, your willingness to include the 1 May 1968 article is most appreciated. The Allegany County Historical Society originally consolidated all the articles published in the Sunday papers from April of 1945 to April of 1968 into the six volumes used for this index. May this index further the use of Mr. Hunt's articles and keep history alive. iii Reference List How to Use The index is for the articles written by J. William Hunt and included in the Sunday edition of the Cumberland newspaper. Each entry includes all the dates for the column(s) on that subject. There may be multiple dates if there were multiple columns addressing the subject. The date is by day - month - year. The index can also be used for the Cumberland Evening Times.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.
