In 1986, Cheryl Culotta, Neil Surprenant, and John Radigan formed a Task Force to determine what Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉 could do to better meet the needs of students with disabilities.聽 Carol Lamb had just completed her 10th year teaching special education at LP Quinn Elementary School in Tupper Lake in a program that she initiated.聽 Seeing the ad for a Learning Specialist at PSC sounded interesting and in August, Carol taught elementary summer school on a Friday and began a new position to provide services to college students the next Monday. That first semester, 28 young adults identified as a student with a disability in need of accommodation and the Center for Accommodative Services was born at PSC.聽 In less than two years, the number of students had increased to over 80 and it became obvious that the Task Force鈥檚 foresight was correct.

By 1990, PSC had become a beacon of appropriate services for students with disabilities and Carol was assisting other colleges as they developed services.聽 In addition, she was working with regional high school special education teachers and support personnel offering information on transitioning students with disabilities to college or the work force through the Recipe for 美女萝莉 Success conferences and the You Hold the Keys to Your Success conferences in all five of the upstate BOCES regions.

The 21+ years that Carol was part of the PSC family were filled with colleagues and students that have become lifetime friends. She is very proud to be in touch with so many alumni and active in local activities with so many colleagues and alumni.聽 Being inducted into the Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉 Hall of Fame is humbling to her and a great honor.

Frances 鈥淔ran鈥� McAllister 鈥� Educator, Veteran, and Mentor

Fran McAllister, a beloved educator and forestry professional, was born and raised in Westford, Massachusetts. A proud Veteran of the United States Army Security Agency, Fran served his country from 1962 to 1965 before turning his focus toward education and natural resources.

He earned a master鈥檚 degree in Wood Science & Technology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1972, where he was deeply influenced by his mentor, Professor R. Bruce Hoadley. It was Hoadley who first encouraged Fran to pursue a career in teaching, an encouragement that would help shape generations of students to come.

Fran鈥檚 professional journey included teaching at SUNY Morrisville and working as a forester for the City of Oneonta from 1978 to 1980. That same year, he joined the faculty at Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉, a place that would become his professional home for nearly three decades. From 1980 until his retirement in 2009, Fran was a cornerstone of the Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉 community, known for his caring nature, hands-on teaching style, and unwavering dedication to student growth.

鈥淔ran鈥檚 laughter, his desire to have fun while educating, and his obligation to fostering the development of students鈥� minds and abilities has added to the magic of Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉.鈥�

Throughout his career, Fran was recognized many times by students, colleagues, alumni, and professional organizations for his outstanding contributions to forestry education and campus life. His honors include:

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Fran is a devoted family man. Since marrying his wife, Cecilia, in the summer of 1977, the two have raised a loving family.

Stephen Warren Morehouse (ca. 1840鈥�1882) was a wilderness guide, cook, and hotel worker at Apollos 鈥淧aul鈥� Smith’s Adirondack hotel. He served in the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first Black regiments organized during the American Civil War.

Morehouse guided hunting trips with Apollos Smith in 1859. A memoir from a client of the hotel described a camping trip with Paul Smith for which Warren served as cook and hunter. In his own memoir,聽Rainbow Lake聽hotelier James Manchester Wardner聽reported that 鈥淲ash鈥� Morehouse was also employed as a cook for summer camping trips from his own hotel.

In September 1863 Warren Morehouse was in Boston, Massachusetts, where he enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Regiment Volunteer Infantry soon after its assault on Fort Wagner. Military documents described Warren as 20鈥�21 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall, and employed as waiter or laborer. Warren mustered in at Morris Island, South Carolina, on October 22, 1863.

In February 1864, the 54th joined a Union army advance from Jacksonville, Florida, toward Tallahassee that encountered unexpectedly strong resistance from Confederate forces on the outskirts of Olustee. According to Luis Fenellosa Emilio, one of the regiment’s officers, the 54th was called to battle in late afternoon to rescue the Union troops being overwhelmed by Confederate forces. Soldiers fled past them shouting “you’ll all get killed! Together with another black regiment, the 54th held off confederate forces while the White troops retreated. During the fighting, Emilio noted that “Warren Moorhouse of Company E鈥� crept out ahead of the others as a sharpshooter.聽When night fell, the 54th withdrew under cover of darkness.

Later on, Warren took part in the Battle of Honey Hill and Potter鈥檚 Raid. During Potter’s Raid, Emilio mentions Warren’s service as a scout during action near Boykin, South Carolina.聽In August 1865, the regiment mustered out at聽Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and in September marched through the streets of Boston to cheering crowds.

A copy of the Massachusetts 54th regimental muster role from 1865, recovered from the National Archives in Washington, DC, lists Warren Morehouse as a regimental marker. Regimental markers form at the ends of the battle line, together with the national colors in the middle of the ranks, the rest of the regiment could form around them. Usually assigned to sergeants, it is unusual that Warren Morehouse was assigned this duty while holding the rank of private.

Upon returning to the Adirondacks, Warren married Charlotte Ann Thomas (1849-1934), daughter of John Thomas Morris, in Brighton, New York, on October 21, 1866, and settled in Vermontville and worked as a 鈥渨aitingman鈥� at Sarah Hill’s inn on the south end of the hamlet, and a map of Vermontville published in 1876 indicated a 鈥淲. Morehouse鈥� residence on Swinyer Road.

Warren died of dropsy on June 1, 1882, and was buried in Union Cemetery in Vermontville.聽The grave of Stephen Warren Morehouse at Union Cemetery, Vermontville, is honored with a Grand Army of the Republic marker. In 2007, a reunion of descendants of Warren and Charlotte Morehouse and other Black settlers of the Adirondacks took place in the Vermontville area.聽Warren Morehouse’s biography was summarized in 鈥淒reaming of Timbuctoo,鈥� a historical exhibit based at the聽John Brown Farm聽in聽North Elba, NY.

In 2024, the dining hall at聽Paul Smith’s 美女萝莉 was named in honor of Warren and Helen Morehouse.

Hutchins whose dedication to fund-raising for the 美女萝莉 during his tenure inspired her service. 聽 She, herself, brings a wealth of experience in fund-raising and strategic planning and currently serves as Vice Chair of the PSC Board and Chair of the Engagement Committee. 聽Ms. Welling worked for many years as a consultant with Raybin Associates in New York City. 聽She was recently President of the Board of Wilton Library in Connecticut and chaired its expansion project. 聽She also served as Senior Warden of St. Matthew’s Church in Wilton, CT and chaired its facilities renovation. 聽For more than a decade she has been a trustee of Horizons National (now on the Founder’s Council), serving low income children throughout the country. 聽 Currently she is Vice Chair of the Board of Spence Chapin in NYC, an organization for families and children focused on adoption. 聽Last year she聽completed her service as a trustee of the Montshire Museum of Science, a children’s museum in VT.聽聽She serves as President of the Board of Upper Valley Haven in Vermont–a shelter, food shelf and resource center for people experiencing poverty. 聽She is humbled by her election to the PSC Hall of Fame, following her father’s election to the first class.

Horses have played a memorable role in the Forestry Department at Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉.聽 Prince was the first horse used by the college鈥檚 Forestry Department. He was loaned to the college by Homer Tyler, a local resident and college employee. Prince served until his retirement in 1962.

Following Prince鈥檚 retirement, the college adopted Leo, a Belgian draft horse from a farm in Warrensburg, NY. Originally part of a team, Leo became available after the death of his teammate. The farm offered Leo to the college, and Professor Hoyt agreed to the adoption.

Leo was known for his gentle nature, so much so that he was transported from Warrensburg to the college, roughly a 100-mile journey, standing calmly in the open bed of a pickup truck without a trailer or cap.

In 1963, Leo the Logger began his work at Paul Smith鈥檚 美女萝莉. He became a beloved and iconic member of the Forestry Division, working alongside students and faculty until his death in the winter of 1976.
