From the McGuireWoods Consulting website, accessed 09/11/2013: Chris Lloyd leads the McGuireWoods Consulting infrastructure and economic development team where he specializes in site selection and economic development incentives negotiations. Lloyd has also worked closely with clients on numerous public-private partnership projects for transportation and other infrastructure as well as playing a leading role in the development and passage of Virginia's public-private partnership laws. These statutes have since become model legislation for use in other states. As a result of this work, Lloyd has become a frequent speaker on economic development policy issues and public private partnership projects around the country. Prior to joining McGuireWoods Consulting, Lloyd served for nearly five years in the Office of the Secretary of Commerce and Trade under Virginia Governors Allen and Wilder. In this position, he was responsible for legislative, budgetary, and regulatory coordination and development for the fifteen agencies within that Secretariat which oversees the state's economic development programs.

Ardath Jo Green was born on 24 June 1923 in Pennington Gap, Lee County, Virginia, the daughter of Etta Ellison Green (1886-1980) and John Wallace Green (1867-1937). The family later added a brother, Fred Hamilton Green (1930-1989). On 19 August 1943, Ardath Jo Green enlisted with the Women's Reserve of the U.S. Navy.

Her 24-year military career included three tours at the Recruit Training Center in Bainbridge, Maryland (from which she retired as a Chief Disbursing Clerk in 1967). Among the many roles she took on over the course of her military service were Chief Master-at-arms, WAVE barracks, U.S. Naval Hospital, St. Albans, N.Y.; assisting in planning the WAVES barracks at Brooklyn, N.Y.; working in the Disbursing Office at the Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida; and serving as Company Commander for eight recruit companies (in her second tour at Bainbridge). Green has also resided in Prince George and Henrico Counties, Virginia.

Leona Robbins was born in 1931. As a child, she lived in Norfolk, Virginia, and attended Coleman Place Elementary School. During World War II, a neighbor and family friend, Army Lieutenant Charles R. Field (b. 1912), suggested that Leona send toys to the children of Norfolk, England, where he would be stationed for part of his World War II service. After Lt. Field delivered the toys to Carbrooke Junior School in Thetford, a correspondence ensued between Robbins, the school's Headmistress Mary Norton, and the children in her class.
