Helped by the expertise of their three children – John, Jamie and Wesley – Davis Farm ran smoothly in accordance with a contract they signed with Pilgrim Pride, who allowed Ms. Davis and her family to build chicken houses and raise chickens to Pilgrim Pride’s specifications. Earlier, Davis Farm also had two poultry houses and an egg house. Met with immense success during the farm’s existence, Ms. Davis attributes her success to hard work and determination. Notably, Davis Farm existed in Mr. Davis’ family for numerous years, and Ms. Davis learned everything she knows from her husband, who took the helm following his father’s retirement. Ms. Davis also has participated in Relay for Life between 1998 and 2000, where she engaged in various fundraisers for her community, such as cooking and gospel singing. Although her career has been filled with highlights, she is especially proud of the work she has done on the farm. Alongside her immediate family, Ms. Davis also has eight grandchildren: Clay, Riley, Emie, Camden, Colt, Emily, Kalba and Denny. Drawing upon a PhD in radiation biophysics from Kansas University in 1972, Dr. Evan Barr Douple most recently excelled as the associate chief of research at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Hiroshima, Japan, from 2008 until retiring in 2013. Prior, he had been affiliated with the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., as a director of the Board on Radiation Effects Research and as a staff scientist from 1992 to 2007. He lent his expertise as an educator at Dartmouth College Medical School, where he rose from instructor to full professor between 1973 and 1992 while directing a radiobiology and bioengineering research program in Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Dr. Douple is renowned for his laboratory’s development of a system for delivering microwave-induced hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer, research in the use of platinum chemotherapy with radiation therapy, and the delivery of chemotherapy from biodegradable polymers. He has contributed over 100 papers to journals and was recognized in 1984 as an Eleanor Roosevelt Cancer Research Fellow by the International Union Against Cancer in Geneva. In 1964, he was named Outstanding Science Student Teacher at Millersville State College. EVAN BARR DOUPLE, PHD
