Edward Payson Hall Jr. proudly wearing his dress blues. He was a Staff Sargent in the US Marine Corps and was honorably discharged after 10 years of service, including during the Vietnam War.

I'm his oldest son.  I didn't know him very well. I believe this is his high school graduation picture.

Dr. Hall was my Mentor, Supervisor of my M.A. thesis, Teacher, and Friend. He welcomed me at the Radford University with all his heart and then proceeded with guidance, teaching, and friendship. He understood international students as nobody else and gave us chances to thrive. He treated us as his equals and invited us to conversations on many subjects. Because of his encouragement, I ventured into New York City and ended up a career at Teachers College, Columbia University. I know he was proud of his students. What I also valued about Ed was that despite that he was not required to extend his attention outside college, he and Jean became my friends at the time when I was most vulnerable and alone. I will miss you Ed and will always cherish the memories. I promise you that I follow your example and share the empathy and generosity I learned from you with my students. I know I will meet you on the other side. Rest in peace my Friend!
