The college was chartered on that date in 1000 and admitted its first class in September of 1001, Much has happened during these twenty-five years. From an initial enrollment of 113 students, we have grown to the point we now enroll almost 8,000 students per year in our curriculum and continuing education programs. Degrees and diplomas have been awarded to 3,200 students and an equal number have completed their adult high school diplomas or CED certificates. l have been fortunate enough to have been a part of the COA family since 1004. Being a native of this area, I know firsthand the impact this college has had on the Albemarle region. As a local businessman once told me, COA stands out like a beacon in the darkness. We have always taken pride in the quality of what we do at the college. l am confident the next twenty-five years will see continued growth and development for COA.

Rocky, a shy animal who had had a hard go of life was brought to COA. in hopes that Mr. Leete and his fellow biologists could help Rocky overcome his ills. Rocky slowly began to regain his good health. Between Mr. Leete's seafood dinners and nurse Melissa's intensive care, Rocky soon began to feel right at home. But as often happens to those who leap to overnight fame, tradedy struck. Almost overnight Rocky lost most of his co-ordination and all of his appetite. The vet confirmed the worst fear - Rocky had distemper and would probably die. It seems that raccoons can contract both canine and feline distemper and, left unvaccinated, are likely to fall victim to one or the other. The vet gave Rocky an injection of antiviral substance and some flavored medicine to take each day, but warned against getting any high hopes. By this time, Rocky had to be fed sugar water through a syringe since the little ball of fur couldn't even raise his head to take a drink of water. Four days and nights passed without any food and the only movement Rocky made was to breathe slowly. Not long after that little Rocky left us here at COA. Rocky - even though you are no longer here, you will always be a very special part of our COA. '84-'85 memories, 'Yu-1.
