She and the Taylors were wearing
seatbelts.
The cause of the crash, report-
ed at 12:05 p.m. August 17, was
failure to yield right-of-way by
Grindstaff, according to the state
patrol. The highway was reopened
at 12:35 p.m.
Pickering has a ring to it
(Continued from page 2.)
and a bell of its own.
"EACH KID, IF you didn't
screw up, got to ring the bell tbr a
day," he recalled.
Closure of the school was not
the end of the building. Harrell re-
members that during World War
II it was a lookout station for the
Division of State and Local Coop-
eration, an organization formed
by the federal Council of Nation-
al Defense by order of President
Franklin Roosevelt in the runup
to U.S. involvement in the war.
Mother and son kept their eyes
peeled tbr hostile planes looking to
attack the U.S. mainland after the
famous Japanese "sneak attack"
on Pearl Harbor and the Japanese
assault on the Aleutian Islands in
Alaska, the only ground battle of
the war that was fought on Ameri-
can soil.
Those were the days when peo-
ple living along the coast were ad-
vised to hang blackout curtains,
thick cloths which kept the light
indoors and prevented would-be
dive bombers from seeing targets
in the night. Harrell joined his
mother for lookout duty from the
school building and from a near-
by shed. "We used to go there to
watch for airplanes," he said. "We
had a book of enemy planes."
The war ended without any hos-
tile incidents as might be observed
from the Grant School site, and
Harrell completed the sixth grade
at Oakland School and then moved
on to Shelton Junior High School
and beyond, graduating from the
old Irene S. Reed High School in
the Class of 1955. By then he had
fbund his future wife Marti in the
student body of the school.
The former Martha Hermes
was the daughter of the princi-
pal at Irene S. Reed and remains
Mr. Harrell's companion to this
day. She takes pride in his work
on the belltower and the decision
of the folks at Pickering to ask her
husband to build a tower sturdy
enough to support a bell weighing
170 pounds.
"I THINK IT is only fitting
because his family went to the
school," she said.
A number of family members
still live in the area. Harrell's
mother is 92 and a Shelton resi-
dent, and his brother and sister-in-
law dwell next door, sharing space
in the place they call Harrell's
Cove. John and Pamela Harrell are
also active in the Pickering Com-
munity Club and have worked to
preserve not just the building but
the history it represents. John at-
tended first grade at Grant School
in the year before it closed, and
Pamela has traced the history of
the Pickering Homemakers Club
back to 1939, when members paid
a nickel in dues at every meeting
and took turns hosting gatherings
where the ladies would sit and
talk. Last year the members de-
cided to change their name to the
Pickering Community Club.
"There's been quite a bit of ac-
tivity," Mr. Harrell said. "There's
a number of new people who have
moved into the community, and
they've been very active."
The house where the brothers
grew up has been converted to a
rental unit that is still standing
at Harrell's Cove, and an old road
running along the water and past
some second-growth trees con-
nects the place to the old school-
yard. The 1914 Grant School was
built on a clearcut and remains
as a reminder to the people living
thereabouts of a time when timber
rose above the water until it was
cut into logs and dropped into the
soup. "In those days they cut next
to the bay first and pushed them
in the water and for the next day
they went up further, but nowa-
days there's some sizable trees
next to it," Mr. Harrell said.
HE'S BEEN building things
ever since he finished school. He
worked for The Boeing Company
on a sideline business of the aero-
space giant, building concrete
plants in such far-flung places as
Italy and Saudi Arabia. Smaller
projects occupy his time these days,
with the lathe in his shop at Pick-
ering churning out wooden salad
bowls and wooden salt-and-pepper
shakers for sale in the farmers'
markets hereabouts. Concerned
that the roof of the historic build-
ing be able to support 350 pounds,
that being the combined weight of
the historic bell and the tower that
will hold it aloft, the club has tak-
en steps to make sure things hold
together for the long haul.
"There was no internal brac-
ing in the school, so we added
some structure just to be on the
conservative side," Harrell said.
He's also fashioned a tubular de-
vice that will make a white, plas-
tic h01e in the roof connecting the
bell with the person who wants to
ring it. "We're going to have a rope
down through the ceiling," he ex-
plained.
