Stay awhile. No need to rush back to your business.&#8221; Bill looked around with a big smile and said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have much business anymore, but I have a lot of arrangements to make.&#8221; As it turned out that was our final farewell to Bill; his last arrangement has been made. Bill died during Homecoming time this year. He is buried at Berea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let us tell you Bill&#8217;s story as we came to know it through talking and corresponding with him. He spent three years at Pine Mountain, 1925-26-27, as a young, handsome teenager from Harlan town. He claimed these were the best years of his life. At any rate he says, &#8220;It changed me from a hill-billy brat to a fairly decent, well-mannered boy who learned to love good books, music and some added culture.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill&#8217;s special buddy and friend at Pine Mountain was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=32599\">Howard Burdine<\/a>, who later went to Lancing and Detroit, Michigan, with him to work. They tried going to college, then, &#8220;Went Broke.&#8221; The times were getting tough, it was the beginning of the great depression years. They scrambled around doing odd jobs and, &#8220;Finally got on &#8212; big money &#8212; fifty-five cents an hour, at Graham Paige car makers.&#8221; Bill left Howard here and went to Berea College, later got his Master of Arts in Industrial Arts and taught in college and high school. Then came World War II and he joined the Navy. Howard later returned as a Pine Mountain worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After his naval service to his country, Bill started in construction. Along the way, he had learned to build a square box or piece of furniture to exact dimensions. With this skill he told himself that he could build a house. While still in his Navy officer&#8217;s uniform he borrowed his father&#8217;s pick-up truck to haul the materials to build his first house. He went on to make his fortunes at Dawn and Company, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had a good business and probably the finest collection of antique cars in Tennessee &#8212; six Rolls Royces, plus others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill could go on for hours about his days at Pine Mountain, about his special privilege of being a &#8220;Zande boy&#8221; as against being a &#8220;farm boy&#8221;. He thought himself in an elite group and voiced much praise for <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1986\">Mr. Luigi Zande<\/a>, who came to Pine Mountain to build a water reservoir but ended up staying on to build the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=485\">chapel<\/a>, overhaul the sawmill, build an <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=3243\">electric plant<\/a> and married the co-director, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1696\">Miss [Ethel] De Long<\/a>. Bill&#8217;s description of Mr. Zande is classic, &#8220;He was a recent immigrant, speaking broken English. He was a big handsome, blue-eyed Italian, very intelligent, very likeable, a fine man &#8212; even a great man. He could do anything well.&#8221; Bill&#8217;s job working with Mr. ,,,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>[1986_pmss_homecoming_004.jpg]\u00a0<\/strong>Printed document,\u00a0page 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,,,Zande was in cutting stone for details of the chapel, rear porch steps and the retaining walls and walks. His other work on campus centered on Industrial Arts. He helped make furniture for the school buildings and dorms, even made coffins for local people. He helped build the yellow poplar and walnut trimmed coffin for <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=6890\">Aunt Sal Creech<\/a>. &#8220;Had to run five miles down Greasy Creek to the store and back for cotton padding and black satin lining for it.&#8221; Mr. Zande&#8217;s instruction and supervision in wood carving brought Bill extra money for school expenses and clothing. He says those days in the early times was a rugged life but strangely, he thrived on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill often talked of a Miss Grant, school office secretary. She sort of adopted him, lived at Boy&#8217;s House and several times helped to keep him&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Photo with caption: <em>Howard &amp; Edry Burdine, Bill &amp; Mildred Dawn on Jack&#8217;s Gap<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;from being sent home &#8212; expelled from school. He claims he was always getting into trouble, at least the first year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a humble, modest, non-boasting manner, Bill told us that due to the work habits, study habits and wonderful guidance at Pine Mountain and Berea College, he has been able to give back substantial support to Berea. It&#8217;s no secret that he was a most loyal supporter to our Alumni &amp; Friends Association. He gave credit to Pine Mountain School that through devoted, self-less people, who had no ulterior motive for helping him, did instill or impart to him that a good citizen ought to give back to Society some of the things given him. He gave generously of his money and time to Pine&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span>2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[1986_pmss_homecoming_005.jpg]\u00a0<\/strong>Printed document,\u00a0page 3.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;Mountain. he was an active and outspoken member of our Association of Alumni &amp; Friends, plus serving on the Advisory Council to the Board of Trustees. Life was excitement to Bill and although he was past retirement age, he never gave up and always kept his hand in things that were important to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many times Bill told us, &#8220;What success I&#8217;ve had in life and business, I owe to Pine Mountain School. Probably the most important habit we learned was to [underline] work, meaningful work. Whether it was milking cows starting at 3:30 A.M. or woodworking.&#8221; He said he would always be eternally grateful to Pine Mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bill and Mildred Dawn are the embodiment of the spirit of Pine Mountain, and we will always be eternally grateful to them. We will all miss our old friend and true &#8220;buddy.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mattie Ellen and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1583\">Paul Hayes<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>The Prez Sez. . . . . .<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, the 1986 Homecoming represented the 40th reunion of my old, old class. the class of &#8217;46.

That was the feeling as the former students gathered at the Pine Mountain Settlement School on August 9 &amp; 10, 1986, for their annual homecoming activities. This was especially true for the class of 1946. This was our 40th anniversary. For most of the former students this is the closest thing to coming home as they have. Our roots are at Pine Mountain because most of us do not have many relatives or a home in the Kentucky mountains anymore.

My mother had ceased to be a mother and had become a child. The responsibility of feeding, bathing, dressing and looking after her fell to me. I tried to assume the running of a household. I was overwhelmed. When I discovered that my mother&#8217;s &#8220;strange sickness&#8221; had become a source of gossip in the community &#8212; humiliation was added to my troubles. I reacted to this new hurt by becoming angry and defensive. Thus &#8212; I came to Pine Mountain. That place where the beauty soothed, where the good and gentle workers took the raw edges [off] my being and with their teaching, encouragement,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">praise and caring, helped me reshape my world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That, Pine Mountain, is one of the reasons I love you.<br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faye Trail Deaton<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo with caption:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jane and Georgia leading the sing-along.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>[1986_pmss_homecoming_010.jpg]\u00a0<\/strong>Printed document, page 8.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>THE LIFE OF YESTERYEARS<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pioneers of Pine Mountain Settlement School left us a wonderful example of what patience, hard work and dedication throughout a life-time can accomplish.
