Abstract

While I have not been an active member of the Virginia Academy of Sciences (VAS) for all of its 100 years of existence, I have seen many changes in VAS during the more than 30 years that I have been an active member. This paper, delivered at the VAS Annual Meeting at the College of William and Mary on May 25, 2023, recalls some of the outstanding scientists in Virginia that I have had the privilege of knowing and who have led and lived out the goals of VAS. They inspired me to try to live up to the high standards established by the VAS for promoting science in Virginia.
