Mr. Mundy had advantages upon returning which most
events in his life was the re ceiving of the Fulton Award, which is voted on by the faculty. Mr. Mundy feels that this is the
highest award a person could be given, to be honored by one's peers.

Sometimes in the course of daily
life, important people go un- recognized. B.K. Mundy is a man who .gives 100 percent of his
time, effort, and love to VES and the people who make ~he school. The Meteor staff recognizes this
as do other people, and we want-
ed to share with you a different ·side of him.
Bernard Kyle Mundy was born in March of 1949 to his proud parents, William S. and Virginia
W. Mundy. He was the fourth of six children, two brothers and three sisters all of whom grew up in Lynchburg.
Mr. Mundy first attended VES as an eighth grader in 1962.
He did not do well his first year so his mother decided to send him to a boarding school. Mr. Mundy liked VES so he convinc-
ed his mother to let him stay in Lynchburg and become a boar- ding student. The boarding life
proved to be very beneficial to Mr. Mundy as he quickly earned
his way out of study hall and never returned.
The head counselorship was conferred on Mr. Mundy his

Waiters also receive fringe benefits. Once a trimester, an ap-
preciation dinner is held for the waiters, and they receive one ex-
teachers do not. Coming back to VES gave him the chance to see the faculty point of view as well as the students point of view in matters concerning the school
and student .body, Mr. Mundy also realized upon returning how many people he owed an enor- mous debt to for helping him through life. Mr. Meador and Mr.
Lee are two men who particular- ly impressed him with their work and dedication. In particular Mr: Mundy notes the patience in dealing with people, the under- standing of teenagers and their problems that Mr. Lee and Mr. Meador taught him. He de- scribes them as in
people."
In all of Mr. Mundy's days at
VES, many memorable things have happened to him. To de- scribe one event as his most memorable would take away
from all of the others. However, !and Meador. Mr. Mundy also one of the most significant

After graduating from
UV A, Mr. Munday spent some time traveling and job hunting. He spent a year writing the book
Lynehbllllf, a pictoral history, with the help of his friend Dick
Loyd. The following year he ac- quired a teaching position at VES. ·
Mr. Mundy described his re- turn to VES as a joy, but in some. ways awkward. He returned to
