Local educator, senior advocate dies
By Pam Stewart Kem Valley Sun Staff Writer
"He was always try* ing to look over the hill," Grant Pinney's first born said of him fol- lowing a memorial ser- vice for his father. "There's something on the other side of the hill."
The 80-year-old Pinney - educator, se- nior advocate and patri- arch - died Sept. 26 in Bakersfield following a stroke. Close to 200 came to pay their final Grant Pinney respects Saturday at the Highland Chapel United Methodist Church in Lake Isabella. Even more joined fam- ily and friends at the Kern River Valley Senior Center afterwards to share their stories of and respect for what Pinney had accomplished in his lifetime.
"He was a doer and a giver," his son, Robert Pinney, said. "His philosophy in life really was to help anyone he could help and that's the way he lived his life."
Grant Pinney was born on Feb. 28, 1920 and raised in the small town of Chester, W. Va. It was there, in nearby Newell, he met Gertrude, who would be his partner and wife
for the next 62 years. The high school sweethearts married at 18. Robert was born close to a year later, in July of 1939. He was followed by another son, John Scott, and then three daughters: Diana, Pamela and Cathy.
When the Pinneys first married, Grant worked as a soda jerk, his son said.
From there, he became a warehouse man and then he went to work at the job he thought he'd have for the rest of his life with the railroad.
But after serving for a year with the Army Air Corps during World War II and returning home disabled, Grant Pinney began looking beyond the Appalachian Mountains.
"There's a whole world out there and we're not going to stay in West Virginia," he told Gertrude.
"So he sold the house, everything," Robert Pinney said. "He told my mother he had a job in Arizona. He didn't. He bought about the first (house) trailer anybody -especially in West Virginia in 1947 - had ever seen. He built a truck. There were no doors in it, just 2-by-4 armrests, a little canvas shield over the top and a plexiglass windshield. He built a big box on the back end of it. He threw us three kids in the back end of that box, hitched up that trailer and away we went. taking two and a half weeks to get to Arizona. He had to stop every time there was a sign that said 'point of interest' or anything.
"We saw everything along Highway 66."
Working for the Veteran's Administration in Phoenix, Pinney learned he could fulfill a dream by returning to school
on the G.I. bill. Enrolling at Arizona State College (now University), Pinney pushed himself to graduate in three years.
But there were still three chil- dren to support. "None of the students had
cars back then," Rob- ert Pinney re- called. "So he had an idea. He
went into
Sears in Phoenix and cajoled the manager into selling him 24 bicycles on credit - no job, going
to school on the GI Bill, noth- ing at all, and he managed to get 24 bicycles."
· Grant, Gertrude and Robert took turns renting those bi- cycles for 25 cents an hour from
He just would come up with those kinds of ideas - that was Grant Pinney. If there was a way to do it, he was going to find it. - Robert Pinney
a corner of the parking lot on campus near the liberal arts building.
"He just would come up with those kinds of ideas - that was Grant Pinney," Robert said. "If there was a way to do it, he was going to find it.'
While completing his master's degree, Pinney taught school in Seligman, Ariz.
Of the small town along Route 66 where he attended seventh and eighth grade, Rob- ert remembers his father as "principal. He taught fifth and sixth grade in one room and was also a coach, bus driver and janitor."
Grant Pinney also took some young native Americans on their first excursion to Phoenix to see the capitol. When the group was refused entrance in those days of racial segrega- tion, in typical Grant Pinney mode, Pinney called the gover- nor, a member of his church, who escorted the educator and his students on a tour.

From there, the Pinneys went to Avondale, Ariz., and Grant taught the children of itinerant farm workers bused in from nearby Mexico.
"That again, was Grant Pinney," Robert said. "Long be- fore it was socially acceptable. to do so, he was in the middle of. trying to help who he could help- who he felt needed the most help. Those kids needed help."
As he was finishing his de- gree program, Pinney noticed a sign posted at the college stat- ing, "Principal wanted-Small mining community in the foot- hills of the Sierra Nevadas."
"Well, that conjures up a real nice picture," Robert said with a wry laugh.
But on his way to the previ- ously unseen Randsburg, Grant Pinney took a wrong turn and landed at China Lake Naval Weapons Center near Ridgecrest.
Following a tour of the mod- ern and new school facility at China Lake, Pinney signed on the dotted line there.
After teaching for a handful of years, Pinney became prin- . cipal, then went on to serve as the assistant superintendent of schools until his retirement in 1979.
Pinney will be remembered at China Lake for gaining the funds from Washington to build the only special education cen- ter on the high desert.
Lobbying Washington once again, he also managed to acquire the. grounds, building and funds for Mes- quite Alternate High School in Ridgecrest.
Grant Pinney was learning the ins and outs of Washington, D.C. very well. When each of his 13 grandchil- dren turned 12, Pinney would take them on a week-long tour of the capitol to view both its monu- ments and interior workings.
"Right at 12," Robert said. "That's the age when (he felt) they ought to realize that there's a federal government."
Grant Pinney was the true pa- triarch of the family, his son said.
"With his grandchildren, he probably did more to get each one of them into college - get loans for them, find scholar- ships. When they got old enough, they'd come to him, because granddad'll know how to do it."
When the Pinney's first ar- rived in California, Grant Pinney told his family, "If we're going to move to a new state, we're going to find out about that state."
So during the summer of 1953, everyone piled into the car and they started at the Or- egon border and worked their way down, Robert remembered. " ... we came home 178. In those days, 178 was quite a road. But we all thought it was mag- nificently beautiful."
A few years later, Grant Pinney purchased a mountain cabin near Alta Sierra, where the family vacationed frequently until Grant and Gertrude moved to the Kern River Valley perma- nently in 1974. Upon retiring, they sold the cabin and bought a home in Lake Isabella.
But.there was no such thing as retirement for Grant Pinney - although Robert chuckles at the memory of the Gray Pan- thers, a group of septuagenar- ians who explored the dusty trails of the Kern River Valley on motorcycles.
"And he wouldn't miss a Wednesday Senior Dance," Robert said.
Pinney was honored as the Lake Isabella Chamber of Commerce's Man of the
Year in 1991 for his work.as an Assemblyman in the Califor- nia Senior Legislature. At that time, he was serving his third two-year term. He went on for a fourth.
Volunteering about two weeks out of each month, he traveled to and from Sacra- mento. Along I-5, there is a plaque at a rest stop recognizing Pinney for what came to be the highlight of his terms as a legis- lator. That was the passage of the Grant Pinney bill, allowing persons of the opposite gender to accompany and assist the eld- erly or disabled in rest stop restrooms along California's highways.
Pinney also never stopped fighting for free fishing licenses for senior citizens, Robert said. Even in the 10 years since he left Sacramento, he got on the phone every year to ask, "Is somebody putting in· a bill on. fishing?" :
Pinney was also a member of the Kern County Commission on Aging, and Kern River Val- ley Senior Citizens, Inc.
"He was very, very active as a senior advocate -taking care of problems,"
Robert said. "That phone was off the hook more than it was on with people calling with prob- lems. While he had no official capacity, he was just the person they went to, to find out where to go, what office/person to con- tact."
"The Democrat's democrat," as his son calls him, Grant Pinney also stayed active with political work and in his church, serving for many years as choir director. But he and Gertrude did find some time to share with the grandchildren and 11 great- grandchildren, in addition to traveling to exotic locals such as Tahiti, England and New- foundland. And then there were some of the favorite, three-day getaways to Laughlin.
Those who spoke at his father's service, Robert Pinney recalled, "everybody men- tioned the fact that when my father came into a room, he came in with a joke - and it was always a new joke, and always a clean joke."
Robert Pinney sees his fa- ther, still, "trying to look over the hill."
In lieu of flowers, Robert says he's sure his father would want people to, "vote Democrat."

Marilyn re- tired from PayLess Drug, where she had been an assis- tant manager. Marilyn was very active for many years in the VFW Auxiliary and was serv- ing her second term as Presi- dent. She also enjoyed ceram- ics and delighted many friends and family with treasures she had made. Marilyn enjoyed life and loved bringing joy to all those she knew. She will be missed in the physical sense, but not in our hearts. She touched so many hearts and we all carry a little piece of our love with us. A memorial ser- vice to honor her life will be held on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 11 a.m. at the VFW Post No. 7665 on Nugget Ave. in Lake Isabella.
A prayer was sent via e-mail for Marilyn just before her spirit departed from earth to travel to heaven. It means a lot to us and we would like to share it
with you, her family and friends:
Dear God, I think that I am going to die. I think I'm going to leave this world. Give me strength, Lord, that I might not fear. I know, dear God, that when I leave I do not die, that when I die I shall continue to live in Your arms, in Your mind, and Your spirit forever. And yet, dear Lord, my heart beats wildly. I am so scared. My heart breaks to be leaving those I love: my friends, my children, my loves. And yet I know I shall not be leaving. Heal my heart that I might know this. Heal theirs also that they might know we are bound together forever, through Your power, which is greater than the power of death. For the arms of God are the arms of life. Dear God, 1 surrender my body to You. If it serves Your purposes, then I may live. But if the arc of des- tiny calls me home, then let me die in peace, dear God, send the Angel of Death when it is my time. Let me feel the Angel's tenderness as I exit this world and enter the next. Let me go from dark to light, let me feel the love of God. Please com- fort me and those I love. Now while I wait, now while I face my fears and my pain, let me see the truth and know Your peace. May my family and friends now feel the same. For we shall not be tom asunder. Our love is larger than death, Our bond is eternal, Your life is with us always. So I believe, so shall I feel, now and for- ever. Hallelujah, Lord. For Yours is the power and the glory and the love. You are with me as I am with You. Thank you, God, for what has been. Thank you, God, for what shall be. Forgive me my dark- ness, reveal to me Your light.
Bless my family. Take care of them, my darling ones. Take me home. I willingly surren- der .. I shall not fear for You are with me. Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Amen.
