SQUIRES PROFESSOR EMERITUS of History Ronald L. Heinemann, though he retired officially in 2004, continues to teach at the College and to maintain an active research program. He is the co-author and primary editor of Old Dominion, New Commonwealth: , which was published last April, and he wrote an essay on Governor Colgate Darden for the forthcoming volume of the Dictionary of Virginia Biography.

Heinemann has written fifty-two “Virginia Vignettes,” which appear in over thirty weekly newspapers in the state and have their own website under the sponsorship of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, on the board of which he sits. He also wrote three articles for the forthcoming Virginia Online Encyclopedia.

He has addressed the Alexandria Historical Society, a class for teachers sponsored by the Virginia Historical Society, and the Fredericksburg Area Museum and Cultural Center, which he serves as a consultant. He was also a panelist for Virginia Forum, a conference of Virginia historians, last April, and he served as a referee for three manuscripts under consideration at three university presses.

At commencement in 2007 Heinemann was honored with the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Medallion, given by the New York Southern Society to “friends of the College who have been conspicuously helpful to and associated with the institution in its effort to encourage and preserve a high standard of morals.”
