Member colleges include Sullins and Virginia Intermont in Bristol. William T. Gordon, president of the board of directors, said the gifts amounted to more than 10 per cent over 1970.
The state penitentiary at Vienna, has 18,000 books in its library. He was one of Virginia's wealthiest lieutenant His father, R. S. Reynolds is governors in history. president and chairman of the board of the giant Reynolds Metals which has headquarters here.
The lieutenant governor was a vice president of the firm. Reynolds' ailment first manifested itself last sumwhen he began to feel numbness and pain in his left mer arm and shoulder. Medical tests in Richmond and New York led to his hospitalization in Columbia Presbyterian Hospital and the eventual diagnosis of brain tumor. The early radiation treatments appeared to work, and Reynolds beamed with optimism after his release from the hospital in October. He showed renewed interest in running for the governorship and expressed his political ambitions publicly.
He resumed a full schedule of speaking engagements and scarcely missed a day in the presiding officer's chair at the State Senate while it was in specials session on the first two months of the year. But in mid April he cancelled a scheduled apat the International Azalea Festival in Norfolk pearance and subsequently cancelled another at the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester. Fears for his condition grew, but at the time he re entered the New York hospital, friends said they felt he had become run down from his heavy work load. simply He, himself, was reported to be cheerfully optimistic. Doctors, however, prescribed another round of radiation treatments for the tumor.
And Reynolds never left the hospital again. Reynolds was born in New York of a family that had its roots in Bristol and in Patrick County, Va. His grandfather, Richard S. Reynolds founded the aluminum making company that bears the family name. Reynolds' political career was little less than meteoric, spanning not much more than six years.
He was elected to the House of Delegates from Richmond and Henrico County in 1965, and two years later was elected to the State Senate from the city of Richmond, each time by top- heavy votes. Then, in 1969, he polled votes from all segments of a divided Democratic party in defeating the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, State Sen. H. D. Dawbarn of Waynesboro, by a massive 101,607 votes.
Republican Holton polled 480,869 votes in winning the governorship, but defeated Democratic nominee William S. Battle by only 65,000. Reynolds, with less formidable opposition, polled a grand total of 472,853 votes. Reynolds' political charisma often was compared to that of the Kennedy family. Although more conservative factions of the state Democratic party didn't cotton to the sunburned, tousle haired young politician, his easygoing manner, his articulate way of speaking and his talent for making friends won over elements of the party who were prepared to oppose him.
His popularity was a lifelong thing. At WoodForest School, he was editor of the student berry magazine and president of the student body. From there he went to Princeton for two years, and was graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in Philadelphia in preparation for a business career with Reynolds Metals Co. He was a student of history and for three years taught the subject at the University of Richmond. Of his illness, he told newsmen in January that he had no fear "and no particular "It's a funny thing," he said.
"You just realize it's out of your hands. You do your best. It's all you can do." The warmth and affection that had grown up between the Democratic lieutenant governor and Republican Gov. Holton was remarkable. From his hospital bed last September, Reynolds had urged Virginians to support the governor's controversial program and had lauded Holton highly.
And despite his ability to appeal to Democrats of all but the most conservative persuasion, Reynolds was not averse to speaking his mind bluntly. Perhaps, to the Democratic conservatives, his most shocking speech came in one of his last public appearances before he returned to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for the final time. The occasion was the Democrats' annual shad planking at Wakefield April 21, a few days after the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld the validity of busing as a tool for public school desegregation. "Virginia will not be propelled into massive resistance again," Reynolds said.
"Its effort were futile and very expensive for the present generation of Virginians "Nor will we fight another Civil War, nor will we be intimidated by those who cry for independence of the BRISTOL BRIEFS The annual meeting of the Bristol Concert Ballet Company will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the studio, 628 Cumberland.
