## Early life

Cook was born on November 14, 1848, in Boydsville, Kentucky.

## Career

During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Cook joined the Confederate States Army and served under General Nathan Bedford Forrest. After the war, Cook served as the grand commander of the United Confederate Veterans. He was appointed to the board of directors of the Confederate Veteran by its founding editor, Sumner Archibald Cunningham, who was a close friend.
During the Spanish–American War of 1898, Cook served the colonel of the 2nd Arkansas Regiment. Although he was appointed by Governor Daniel Webster Jones, he "saw no active service."
Cook became a planter in Arkansas in 1867. He eventually owned "thousands of acres." He was also a real estate investor in Batesville.

# Virgil Ward

He was the winner of the 1958 Regional Bass Competition, the 1962 World Series of Sport Fishing, the 1964 National Championship of Fresh Water Fishing and 1964 Outdoor Writers and Broadcasters National Fishing Tournament.

Ward was awarded The Dolphin Award - fishing’s highest recognition.
# Virtuoso Violin

Virtuoso Violin is a violin-playing machine, invented by Fred Paroutaud for QRS Music Technologies, the same company that produced the first MIDI-compatible player piano. It was first unveiled February 13, 1998.

## Mechanics

The Virtuoso uses an electromagnet instead of fingering the strings. The electromagnet's position changes the behavior of the vibrating string to attain the desired pitch.

## Compatibility

The Virtuoso is designed to play a real violin, although its setup requires the strings to be restrung and the bridge to be removed and replaced with a mechanical bridge which controls the string oscillation and bow movement.
The Virtuoso Violin is capable of playing standard MIDI files.

## Reception

The Virtuoso Violin was debuted at the Frankfurt Music Trade Show, and guests were both excited about the new invention and confused as to how it worked. The novelty of the digital-to-analog player violin has been a huge hit, and the Virtuoso Violin has been used as a replacement to the concertmaster soloist at concerts mainly for show reasons.
The price of the violin was originally estimated at under $10,000 just before its release. In 2003, its price was $12,500 and has risen since to nearly $22,000.
The sound projected by the Virtuoso Violin lacks the same quality found in a human violinist's playing, largely due to the inability for the device to spontaneously play emotionally.

# Dickie Thompson

James Edward "Dickie" Thompson (December 13, 1917 – February 22, 2007) was an American jazz and R&B guitarist, singer and songwriter.

## Biography

Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, he took up the guitar in his teens, playing it left-handed and upside down and pioneering a technique of string bending. By the 1940s, he was well known for his performances in New York City jazz clubs, and started playing as a session musician.
He began recording under his own name in the early 1950s. In early 1954, he wrote and recorded his song "Thirteen Women and One Man", released on Herald Records, and featuring guitarist Mickey Baker. With slightly risqué lyrics, the record was not a hit, but it was heard by record producer Milt Gabler. He produced a version, with slightly altered words referencing the H-bomb but still crediting authorship to Thompson, that was recorded by Bill Haley and the Comets in April that year, and issued as "Thirteen Women (And Only One Man In Town)". Haley's record was only a modest success, until what was originally its B-side, "Rock Around the Clock", became a worldwide hit in 1955. As a result, Thompson continued to receive royalty payments for the rest of his life.
Thompson later toured with R&B singer Jackie Wilson, and recorded with Hammond organist Wild Bill Davis and saxophonist Johnny Hodges. In the 1970s he moved to Hawaii, where he performed with Don Ho. He moved to Tucson, Arizona in the 1990s, and continued to perform in clubs.
He died in Tucson in 2007, aged 89.

# Virginia True

Virginia True was an American painter said to "Epitomize the pioneer spirit of the United States in the early twentieth century".

## Early life

True was born in 1900 in St. Louis. Although both parents were classical musicians, True herself exhibited her innate talent in the visual arts rather than the musical field. She began her college education at Butler University's College of Education, but chose to complete her studies at the John Herron Art Institute, now known as the Herron School of Art and Design, in Indianapolis, Indiana. At the time, Indianapolis had an active arts community, which included noted artists, such as William Merritt Chase, Frank Duveneck and the renowned New Mexico printmaker, Gustave Baumann. True's education at the Herron was followed by a one-year scholarship to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
True first visited the Southwest in 1928, when she and several friends from the Herron Institute took a road trip through Northern New Mexico. They traveled down the High Road from Taos into the Rio Grande Valley and Santa Fe. Her response to the culture and landscape of New Mexico was intense: "Might I preserve on canvas my thrill and deep feeling of the grand things of nature I have beheld today."

## Reception

In 1929, True accepted a position in the Fine Arts Department of the University of Colorado in Boulder. In 1931, she exhibited for the first time at the New Mexico Museum of Art. The Santa Fe New Mexican published positive reviews that same year of her work in a group exhibition for "non-Modernists", and again in 1932 for a solo show: "paints with a boldness and strength of purpose that leads one to think of a man's work."
Building on her success, True joined with fellow artists to embrace Regionalism, an artistic school of thought that placed great value on a sense of place and community. Calling themselves The Prospectors, the group of five participated in exhibitions around the country, where True was judged to be the most accomplished artist. Often featuring manmade structures in the landscape, True's watercolors and oil paintings demonstrate her keen powers of observation and artistic ability, and her appreciation for the natural environment is evident.

## Later life

In 1935, True recognized that she could go no further at the University of Colorado with a simple Bachelor of Arts, so she began a Master of Arts program at Cornell University. By the time she completed her studies, however, the University of Colorado had no position for her, so she stayed in the East and began teaching at Cornell. There she was commissioned to paint a mural "The History of Home Economics" in 1937 and eventually became the chairman of the Department of Housing and Design. She spent the rest of her life in the East, retiring to Cape Cod where she taught art for several years and continued to paint and exhibit.
Virginia True's perception of the artist's life is amply demonstrated by her comment that "to be an artist is a very upsetting thing, because you must come to grips with what you really think and what is really basic and what is truly you."
# Aleesha Barber

Aleesha Barber (born 16 May 1987) is a Trinidadian sprint hurdler. She is a 2007 NCAA All-American honoree, a six-time Big Ten Conference champion, and a seven-time collegiate record holder. She set a personal best time of 12.85 seconds at the 2010 NCAA Eastern First Round Championships on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. Barber also won a gold medal for the 100 m hurdles at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, clocking at 13.09 seconds.
Barber represented Trinidad and Tobago at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed in the women's 100 m hurdles. She ran in the fifth and final heat against seven other athletes, including Jamaica's Brigitte Foster-Hylton, and United States' Dawn Harper, who later dominated this event by winning an Olympic gold medal. She finished the race in fourth place by two hundredths of a second (0.02) behind Kazakhstan's Anastassiya Pilipenko, with a national record-breaking time of 13.01 seconds. Barber, however, failed to advance into the semi-finals, as she placed eighteenth overall, and was ranked below two mandatory slots for the next round.
Barber is also a member of the track and field team for the Penn State Nittany Lions, and a management graduate at Penn State University in University Park, Pennsylvania.
