Born in Georgia on Nov. 7, 1942, C. Lamar Wommack Jr. moved to Morganton with his wife, Judy, in the mid-1960s. When this photograph was taken in 1980, he had worked over a decade at Western Piedmont Community College and served as Associate Dean of Continuing Education. Pictured at his desk in Moore Hall, Wommack was promoted to Dean of Continuing Education in 1983. In this role, he oversaw non-degree programming focused on adult literacy, workforce development, and community enrichment, including industrial job training, academies for law enforcement and emergency personnel, high school equivalency courses, and community enrichment classes. He retired in 2006 after 38 years of service to the college. He passed away on Nov. 18, 2017. His daughter, Laurie W. Johnston, contributed this image to Picture Burke, a digital photograph preservation project of the NC Room of the Burke County Public Library.
