Amos Hawkins, first full-time superintendent of the 17,00-acre Prince William Forest Park in Virginia, will become superintendent of Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Hawkins’ appointment is effective March 7. Cumberland Gap’s 20,000 acres are located in three states-Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee-with park headquarters near Middlesboro, Ky.
Born in Rappahannock County, Va., Hawkins was named superintendent of Prince William Forest Park in 1968. He had previously served as supervisory park ranger at the park and became management assistant there in 1966.
He attended Sperryville High School, and received a B. A. degree in education from the University of Richmond. After four years of duty with the U. S. Coast Guard, he joined the Rappahannock County and Prince William County school systems in 1956 as a teacher of mathematics and science. He joined the National Park Service on a fulltime basis in 1963 as a permanent ranger at Blue Ridge Parkway. During his teaching years, Hawkins also worked as a seasonal park ranger at Shenandoah National Park. In 1965 he was transferred from Blue Ridge Parkway to Prince William Forest Park, located about 30 miles south of Washington, D. C. with headquarters near Triangle, Va. He and his wife, the former Ethel Richards of Stanley, Va., are parents of three children, Gary, 16; Pamela, 14, and Karen, 10.
