About AVA (A Vital Archive)
The Founders
The idea for AVA was born in 1966, July 31, a week in which the TROGGS came out with "Wild Thing." At this moment, Dr. Ava Quattlebaum conceived of the notion that she was special, and that others should also feel this way. "No child left behind" remains a mantra of value, and yet when we forget the blessings of our birth, we do posterity a great disservice. As Ava grew, she wriote a poem (age 8) "I am free" and in 2024 completly defended her Ph.D. dissertation at Liberty University on the true meaning of "free" and its etymological history. Thus, AVA was officially founded in 2024.
