The business was first envisioned by members of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a nationally recognized student entrepreneurship club that has since changed its name to ENACTUS, and was made possible with a $30,000 grant from Dominion Power Co. In announcing support of the project in 2010, Dominion lauded the ecologically friendly aspects of the new business, which include organically grown coffee provided by Abingdon’s Zazzy’Z Coffee Roasters, cups and other paper products made from recycled materials, and the use of Energy Star appliances. Additionally, the business will derive a portion of its power from windmills and solar panels that were installed at VHCC as part of the Energy Technology program. “Our mission was to create a self-sustaining, eco-friendly business that would serve ‘green’ products to the VHCC community at a competitive price,” said Phil Ferguson, a VHCC faculty member who advised students during the early planning stages. “We’re confident that Wolf Grounds will become a symbol of environmental sustainability and economic enrichment for our customers and all VHCC students.” While space was being renovated for the new business, Oliver Grab a Cup of Joe Craughwell, owner of Zazzy’Z, came on board as a volunteer A student-operated coffee shop that uses organic products mentor.

Joyce is quite the fashion plate in this photo from the VHCC archives (circa 1970). Other photos found buried in file cabinets and desk drawers indicate she was quite fond of go-go boots, too, when they were all the rage. Since Joyce has always been willing to share a friendly smile and tidbits of campus history, it seemed only fitting that we honor her with this stroll down memory lane.

  • Dick James Music
    WHO'S WHO AT DICK JAMES MUSIC DICK JAMES MUSIC came into being in 1961 when Dick James rented two rooms in Charing Cross Road, hired a secretary and started to build a catalogue. The first year was rather lean but in 1962 he made the acquaintance of a young man from Liverpool who was managing a group who called themselves The Beatles. The man's name was Brian Epstein. The Beatles also wrote their own material and so in February 1963, in partnership with Epstein, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Dick James, formed Northern Songs Ltd. The singles that followed included "Please Please Me", "From Me To You", "Do You Want To Know A Secret", "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand". Recordings and songs involved with Brian Epstein's artists other than The Beatles included Gerry And The Pacemakers' and Billy J;; Kramer And The Dakotas. Dick clocked up seven number one hits in seven months, a feat never achieved in the British Pop Business prior to that time. At last things were looking up and it was the start of the now successful DICK JAMES ORGANIZATION As with The Beatles, Dick James also had faith in another young artist who was to become a huge international superstar. This was Elton John and Dick signed him to a publishing, recording and management contract in 1967. As with The Beatles this paid handsome dividends because in the year 1971/1972 Elton John and the company received five gold albums each of which represented more than one million dollars worth of sales in the U.S.A.
