Two Portsmouth natives have been named to the Randolph-Macon Woman's College board of trustees.
Architect John Paul C. Hanbury and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regional director Lynn Hardy Yeakel will serve five-year terms beginning July 1.
Hanbury, senior partner and chairman of the board of a Norfolk architectural firm, was Portsmouth's First Citizen for 1985. He received the Gladstone M. Hill Friend of the Arts Award in 1994 and the Alli Award from the Cultural Alliance of Hampton Roads in 1993.
Hanbury's wife, the former Jean Cornthwaite, and his daughter, Randall Hanbury Perdew, are both graduates of the Lynchburg college.
Yeakel, daughter of the late Congressman Porter Hardy, heads Region III of of HHS, which includes Virginia as well as Pennsylvania, where she lives. A graduate of Randolph-Macon Woman's College, she gained national attention in 1992, when, in her first bid for elected office, she came in 2 percentage points behind incumbent U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, now a Republican candidate for president.
From 1980 to 1992, Yeakel was president and chief executive officer of Women's Way, a nonprofit women's funding federation. She has received numerous national awards and been active in many community and civic organizations.
Gary Johnston, a special education teacher at Churchland Middle School, has been awarded a fellowship by the National Endowment for the Humanities to participate in the 1995 program of Summer Seminars for School Teachers.
Johnston will participate in a six-week seminar entitled, ``The American Documentary Movement of the 1930's: Lorentz, Wright, Evans, Agee, Dos Passos and Steinbeck,'' at Temple University in Philadelphia.
