Career

Consulting

Kemp's consulting career began at Ove Arup, a global firm. There, he conducted analytical calculations for the roof of the Sydney Opera House in Australia, noting this was no simple task, as Jørn Utzon’s sketches were designed to embellish the beauty of the international landmark, not necessarily for simple mathematics.^[4]

Kemp continued to offer consulting work throughout his career as a Professor at West Virginia University. His work included many projects, including the restoration of the Philippi Covered Bridge.^[5]

He was a project coordinator for the move and restoration of the Staats Mill Covered Bridge.

Kemp is the author of the text Essays on the History of Transportation and Technology.^[7]

Kemp is the co-author of the text Houses and Homes: Exploring Their History, along with Barbara Howe. The text covers American housing patterns, the individual characteristics of houses in different regions, construction techniques and materials, household technology, and family lifestyles.^[8]

Emory has contributed authorship to the West Virginia Encyclopedia. He has written articles on Bridges,^[9] Cable-Stayed Bridges,^[10] Claudius Crozet,^[11] the Fairmont High Level Bridge,^[12] Frank Duff McEnteer,^[13] Swinging Bridges,^[14] the Weston & Gauley Bridge Turnpike,^[15] and the Wheeling Suspension Bridge ^[16]

Awards

Upon graduation from the University of Illinois in civil engineering, Kemp received the Ira O. Baker for outstanding achievement.^[4]

Dr. Kemp has received numerous awards, including the coveted election as an Honorary Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This is the highest award given by the Society of 140,000 members.^[2]

In 1986, Kemp received the Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater, the University of Illinois Civil and Environmental Engineering Alumni Association.^[17]

The Society for Industrial Archeology awarded Kemp the 1993 SIA General Tools Award for Distinguished Service to Industrial Archeology.^[18]^[19]

Kemp has had an award created in his honor, by the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia, an organization which he is a co-founder of. The award is the Dr. Emory Kemp Lifetime Achievement Award.^[20]

Personal life

Emory Leland Kemp was born in Chicago on Thursday, October 1, 1931 at 4:10 p.m. in Jackson Park (Chicago) Hospital.

In between the building and another building where Dr. Kemp lived at age four, was a large play area, and there was an apartment down a big flight of concrete stairs and "I’m not sure how I did this, but I succeeded in backing my tricycle down these stairs. And, I was picked up by one of the neighbors, it was - and I still remember this - and he came out the back stairs of our apartment, knocked on the door, and my mother opened the door, and he said, 'I don’t think he’ll live.' That was that and I’m still here!" ^[21]

"In October of 1935 I had been going, first of all to the Christian Science Church for Sunday school – not because my mother was at all interested in Christian scientists, uh, message, but because they would take very small children in Sunday School. Uh, at age ten in 1941, uh – having gone to the Methodist Sunday School – I decided to become a Methodist, and in a sense took vows of never to be involved in alcohol, tobacco, and to become a Methodist, which I have been throughout the rest of my life."

Emory became an Eagle Scout with three palms.^[21]

While Kemp was working with Colonel Hudson in the Army, "I’m not sure how he did it, but my whole company was sent to Korea, except for me, and I got a special order." Emory was requested to go to the Engineer Research and Development Center in Alexandria, Virginia, "so I fought the Korean War in Washington. I have really nice memories of that." There, he took an advanced mathematics courses and structural engineering courses. "The only thing I remember which was, um, quite memorable, on guard duty we had to have fixed bayonets, and if you could stand there with a bayonet under your chin, if you nodded off you stabbed yourself, so it kept you awake. And, one time I was running very late and I ended up in a differential equations course at George Washington University in full uniform with a bayonet! Um, I don’t think you could do that today- I was ready." ^[21]

Dr. Kemp is married with three adult children and lives in Morgantown, West Virginia ^[2]
