Correction | The Class Notes in the Summer issue of Virginia Tech Magazine mistakenly reported the death of Pat L. Carpenita '74, who is alive and well in Littleton, Colo. The notice should have indicated Carpenita's uncle: '57 Pat L. Carpenita, 02/03/07 (P.O. Box 252, Courtland, VA 23837).

Faculty/staff deaths


Tech alumnus
killed in Afghanistan

U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sgt. Jesse Clowers Jr. (business '03) was killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 12. Clowers, who had arrived in Afghanistan in March, was scheduled to return to his home in Fayetteville, N.C., in late September or early October. His survivors include his wife, Kaytie, and two children, two-year-old Jesse "Jay" Clowers III and three-month-old Danielle Clowers, whom he hadn't yet seen. Clowers' sister, Nikki Clowers, told The Lynchburg News & Advance, "He made friends easily and he was one of the sweetest, most loving guys you'd ever meet. He loved any type of sport but his family was his passion."

Enid Francis Tozier, former professor of clothing and texties, died May 10. Tozier, who worked at Virginia Tech from 1966 until 1987, also served as a member of the board in the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the Nixon administration, working with the Cooperative State Research Service. She was appointed to the U.S. Department of Commerce Exporters Advisory Committee and served as a consultant to several textile companies and universities. During her 20 years of retirement, Tozier spent her winters in Thonotosassa, Fla., and her summers in Solon, Me. In her memory, The Tozier Scholarship was established to award funds for high-school graduates in the Maine School Administrative District #74 to attend instititutions of higher learning.

Leonard Victor Huggins Jr., former professor of art, died on May 26. Huggins taught at Virginia Tech for 25 years. During that time, he headed an annual study-abroad program for art majors, taking about 20 students to Brighten, England, for six weeks to share his love of art. His work, which primarily focused on landscapes but included abstract pieces, was displayed in more than 400 art collections, including at the Smithsonian. Huggins was drafted by the Army in 1959. After his discharge, he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Huggins retired from Tech in 1994 and moved with his wife to Bogalusa, La., where he enjoyed time spent with family and learning to play golf.

Hanford Palmer Caldwell, a former captain with the Virginia Tech Police, died on July 23. Caldwell began his law enforcement career in 1963 with the Blacksburg Police Department and retired in 2000 as captain of the Virginia Tech Police Department after 34 years of service. Previously, Caldwell had served in the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1963 as a member of the military police. He graduated from the F.B.I. Naitonal Academy in 1974 and was a Life Member of the Blacksburg Fire Department and Blacksburg Rescue Squad. He was also a member of the Montgomery County Coal Miners Heritage Association.

Ernest J. Pavlock, professor emeritus of accounting and information systems in the Pamplin College of Business, died on Aug. 13. Pavlock joined Virginia Tech in 1980. He taught on the Blacksburg campus until 1986, when he moved to the Northern Virginia campus to teach M.B.A. students. He retired in 2000; two years later, the college established the Ernest J. Pavlock Scholarship in Accounting and Information Systems. An Air Force veteran, Pavolock received his bachelor's degree from Duquesne University, doctorate from the University of Michigan, and M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Paul Wischkaemper, a professor emeritus of marketing, died on Aug. 30. A native Texan, Wischkaemper earned his B.S. and M.S. from Texas A&M in College Station and Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. A professor at Virginia Tech from 1964 to 1981, Wischkaemper received emeritus status when he retired. After retirement, Wischkaemper raised Angus cows and was an active member of the American Angus Association and instrumental in promoting the EPD method of cattle evaluation in the state of Georgia.
