Katherine B. Wright came to Pine Mountain Settlement School in 1919 and stayed until 1921. She then returned in 1923 and stayed until 1925. Her official duties were as a teacher and as a Girl Scout Leader. She was close friends with co-worker Lucretia Garfield<\/a>, who mentions “Kay” often in her correspondence<\/a> as the two worked together on Girl Scout activities.<\/p>\n Like many of the staff at Pine Mountain, she was a keen observer of life at the School and of human nature. Her most lasting contribution to Pine Mountain was a short article she wrote about her experiences at the School during the Christmas season. Her article, written for The New-Church League Journal<\/em> (Volume XXII, No. 3, December 1921), is titled “Glimpses of a Pine Mountain Christmas.” Her brief article was introduced by Ethel de Long Zande<\/a> who noted,<\/p>\n “Poverty you find, lack of knowledge you find, conditions needing to be corrected, still, here in the Kentucky mountains are a people inherently fine, their native vigor unspent, their mental and spiritual resources so great that they bring hope to America.” \u00a0Ethel de Long Zande<\/em><\/p>\n
