Biographical or Historical Information

The Old Dominion University Town-N-Gown organization was established in 1965 by two couples; one respresenting the "town," Hugh P. and Margie Jo Fortescue; and one representing the "Gown," or Old Dominion University, Dr. John R. and Waulda Tabb. The instutution was started to harbor a closer relationship between the community and Old Dominion University. Originally under the name "Town and Gown," the organizaiton operated as a committee of the Faculty Wives Club. In 1968, the Navy was added to include the military community, changing the name to Town-N-Gown with the N representing the Navy. Recently, the N was revised to represent National Defense to incorporate more branches of the armed forces represented in Hampton Roads.
