Wilson T. Ballard, Jr. was born on January 13, 1923, in Baltimore.  After graduating from McDonogh School in Owings Mills in 1942, he entered the U.S. Army and served in Europe until his discharge in 1946.  He was a member of the Maryland National Guard from 1946 through 1954.

He graduated from Cornell University with a BSCE degree in 1949, and started work at the J.E. Greiner Company.  In 1952, Mr. Ballard joined the firm started by his father, The Wilson T. Ballard Company.  He remained with that firm until his retirement in 1994, and served as its president from 1963 through 1994. Projects on which Mr. Ballard worked include I-68 east of Cumberland, I-270, I-95 in Harford County, I-95 between Richmond and Petersburg, Ohio Turnpike and the I-95 Truck Weigh and Inspection Station at the Susquehanna River.

Mr. Ballard was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Chi Epsilon, ASCE, ITE, and numerous other organizations.  He served as president of the ASCE Maryland Section and assisted in settling numerous claim disputes as a member of the American Arbitration Association.  However, the professional organization to which he was the most dedicated was the County Engineers’ Association of Maryland.  He served on its Board of Directors and was extremely active in promoting and supporting its scholarship fund.

Mr. Ballard died on January 21, 2004.
