THE COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG Foundation welcomed two new trustees to its board in
2004, Amos B. Hostetter Jr. and John O. Wynne. Hostetter, chief executive
officer of Pilot House Associated and former nonexecutive chairman of AT&T
Broadband and Internet Services, is the former chairman and chief executive
officer of Continental Cablevision (renamed MediaOne, Inc., in 1997). Wynne is
the retired president and chief executive officer of Norfolk, Virginia-based
Landmark Communications, Inc., which has interests in newspapers, broadcasting,
cable programming, and electronic publishing. Among other ventures, he was
responsible for development of The Weather Channel in 1981.
Linda Dalch Jones joined Colonial Williamsburg as vice
president for development. She works closely with board members and staff to
raise funds in support of the foundation's educational mission, and is focused
in the near term on the conclusion of the Campaign for Colonial Williamsburg.
Previously, Dalch was vice president of Virginia Commonwealth University's
School of Engineering Foundation.
Beatrix T. Rumford retired as Colonial Williamsburg's vice
president of special projects in 2004, more than thirty-five years after she
joined the foundation as assistant curator of collections. Her distinguished
legacy in management includes construction of the Bruton Heights School
Education Center, renovation of the Williamsburg Inn, expansion of the original
Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum, and development of the Peyton
Randolph House site into an urban plantation and an anchor of the guest
experience in the Historic Area.
Also in 2004, Colonial Williamsburg president and chairman
Colin Campbell was named vice chair of the Commonwealth of Virginia's Jamestown
2007 Steering Committee, a group overseeing the commemoration of the 400th
anniversary of the founding of Jamestown as the first permanent English
settlement in North America. Several Colonial Williamsburg staff members are
serving in leadership capacities in the planning of the commemoration. In
January 2005, Virginia Governor Mark R. Warner announced that Colonial
Williamsburg had become a Founding Colony Sponsor of Jamestown 2007.
