from Glenn Gohr

"Bob Holloway was born at Morrilton, Arkansas on Januar y 3,
1945. He grew up near Woolverton Mountain in Arkansas and
in Southeast Missouri. After graduation from high school, he
attended Harding College at Searcy, Arkansas, receiving a
B.S. in chemistry in 1967. He entered the Air Force in 1967
and served until 1972 and attained the rank of captain.
While in the service, he studied meteorology for one year at
the University of Oklahoma.
He next attended the University of Arkansas, receiving a
Ph.D. in chemistry in 1976. Bob taught at the university as
an assistant professor of chemistry from 1976 to 1979. Then
he joined the Savannah River Laboratory as a research
chemist, working on a study of plutonium and americium in the
marine environment.
Beginning in 1981, Bob has been employed as a chemist by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the
Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory in Las Vegas,
Nevada. He became Chief of the Radiochemistry Section,
Nuclear Radiation Assessment Division.
On December 31, 1970, Bob married Mary Ella Hamel in
Fairfax, Virginia. She is a teacher. They have two sons:
Michael David, b. March 26, 1973 at Fayetteville, Arkansas,
and Jason Alexander, b. October 23, 1977 at Pine Bluff,
Arkansas. Bob's hobbies include home computer work, sailing,
and casino blackjack.
Bob has taken a great interest in the Hanks kinship and
information on President Abraham Lincoln. In 1981 he wrote
an 11-page treatise called "An Evaluation of Adin Baber's
Work on the Origin of Nancy Hanks Lincoln." He has also
written an article called "Elijah Hanks" which appeared in
the Lincoln Herald, Fall 1990. It includes some interesting
history of the Hanks-Woolverton clan which were in the Knob
Creek Community, Maury County, Tennessee, and some of whom
later settled in Arkansas. Rev. Elijah Hanks (who married
Mary "Polly" Woolverton) is the key individual mentioned, but
many other family members also figure prominently in the
narrative. (See WU, pp. 13-14, for more on this article.)
Bob would be pleased to hear from anyone wishing copies of
the above 2 articles ."
