In 2018, following the passing of his beloved beagle, Webster, Frank Payne was inspired to write a children’s book celebrating Webster’s life and the three years he spent as a therapy dog at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR). Frank donated $1,000 from the book’s proceeds – his first of many gifts – to support the hospital’s work. Since then, his contributions have exceeded $28,000, benefiting the Children’s Tower and the child life department.

Join the 2026 Annual Virginia Concrete Conference for the Virginia Transportation Industry. This is the annual forum for the exchange of information and technology transfer with focus on concrete structures, pavements, and materials.
The Virginia Department of Transportation usually rehabilitates old concrete pavements with an asphalt overlay, making them composite pavements. In 2012, a portion of U.S. Route 58 west in Southampton, Virginia, received two additional treatment options: a bonded concrete overlay and an unbonded concrete overlay. Around the same time, the eastbound lanes of the same area received the traditional treatment of asphalt overlay. This rehabilitation provided an opportunity to compare the performance of all three treatment options.
