Flashback Photo 

Plentiful Harvest 

Corydon, IN 

1952 

// Photo courtesy of the Frederick Porter Griffin Center, Harrison County Public Library 

The above photo was taken in the summer of 1952 at Edwin Miller’s farm about four miles east of Corydon, 

Indiana on Highway 62. A few men are operating a threshing machine to harvest wheat on a local farm. A team 

of two horses can be seen as well as a large truck. According to library records, threshing machines were not as 

common in Harrison County in 1952 as they once were, but a few farmers continued to use them instead of the 

more modern combine. 

Library records indicate that the machine in this picture was owned by Kenneth L. Brown, who along with 

Miller and others threshed approximately sixty acres of wheat on Miller’s farm. The acreage yielded 1760 

bushels for an average yield of 29.5 bushels per acre. 


A Walk in the Garden with Bob Hill 

The Tale of a Lost Billfold 

This will be a story, nay a possible 

movie, about a lost billfold, 

the amazing bureaucratic 

response to same and 

the destruction of an old piano with 

a sledgehammer named “Buster.” 

Yes, that old plotline. 

It begins with the lost billfold, 

a worn, faded brown-leather relic 

that has been a passenger in my 

left rear pocket for maybe 15 to 20 

years. It contained a driver’s license 

with a photo of me looking like a 

depressed bank robber, a Visa credit 

card and the address-card of my 

foot doctor who cuts my toenails 

every 10 weeks or so. It takes him 

about five minutes. Minor bleeding. 

Occasional salve. God bless 

Medicare. 

Speaking of which, tucked 

away in a fold of my lost billfold 

was that Medicare card, my AARP 

medicine card, proof of my car insurance 

and an ever-evolving, typewritten 

list of old-guy medicines 

with typical multi-syllable names 

such as Clopidogrel Bisulfate and 

Atorvastatin Calcium. 

Losing a billfold at my stage 

of the game is a depressing experience. 

I know the smart folks stuff 

all that is important and useful into 

cellphones, then find ways to find 

lost cellphones. I’m an old guy. My 

accumulated life was in that worn 

brown billfold. Financial, gastronomical 

and pedicurical. I was now 

in charge of finding myself. 

The billfold was last seen during 

a possible hand-off to my wife 

while I was sitting in a golf cart 

just behind the house, and she 

headed into the house through the 

garage. It was a possible hand-off. 

We agreed on that. Then it got lost. 

Bitter divorces have occurred over 

less. 

The search was on. A bomb 

squad couldn’t have done a better 

job of searching the house with its 

thousands of nooks and crannies 

and bookshelves and drawers and 

closets and heat ducts. It was also my 

understanding some lost billfolds 

have been found in refrigerators 

next to Hellmann’s mayonnaise. A 

guy can hope while fully understanding 

anything lost will finally 

be found in the last place he looks. I 

just hadn’t found that last place yet. 

We also repeatedly and unsuccessfully 

drove the golf cart past 

trees, shrubs and fountains and 

my depression kicked up another 

notch. I knew what came next and 

feared the bureaucracy involved, 

the minutes, hours, days, months 

and years required in contacting all 

the various agencies needed to get 

my life and financial security back. 

The first call was to our insurance 

carrier. I explained the situation 

as the kind woman on the 

phone took my personal information 

and said, “Don’t worry about 

it, I’ll get you a new card out today.” 

Somewhat encouraged by that 

experience, I decided to go after 

the missing elephant in the room: 

Medicare. I was a little worried that 

I might suffer a heart attack in the 

lengthy process, thus unable to get 

in the hospital door without my 

Medicare card. 

I Googled the Medicare phone 

number and was directed to a 

pleasant-voiced Medicare robot 

who kept asking what my problem 

was. I less than pleasantly explained 

he was the problem: “How 

about a live person, please?” 

In a flash, R2-D2 connected 

me to a live person who was very 

official yet kind, understanding 

and helpful. She took my personal 

information and promised a new 

card in the mail in two weeks. She 

then connected me to the very live 

AARP prescription lady who was 

equally fast and helpful; my card 

soon in the mail. 

Moving on by phone, once I 

got past the Social Security robot to 

a live voice, I got the same results. A 

very understanding person promised 

a new card before Christmas, 

maybe sooner, and I was still going 

to get my monthly checks. 

My lost Visa card experience 

went just as smoothly. The call. A 

five-minute wait. A live voice. A 

new Visa card within three days — 

somebody wants me out there buying 

stuff. Probably plant nurseries. 

I was happily astounded. The 

whole dreaded bureaucratic, getmy-life-back 

by telephone experience 

took less than 45 minutes. 

Giddy was on the horizon. Leaving 

only the missing driver’s license. 

It required a personal visit unless 

I wanted to try online — which 

would have taken me until Christmas. 

I walked into the Clarksville 

Bureau of Motor Vehicles the next 

morning fearing I would need a 

sack lunch. Wrong. I was number 

48 in line and 46 had already been 

called. I had, for some reason, taken 

a photo of my driver’s license on 

my cellphone. The clerk looked at 

it, banged away on her computer 

and told me my new card would be 

in the mail within 24 days. 

Then she leaned over and sort 

of whispered, “But it usually only 

takes about a week.” 

Shazam. A genuine love for 

bureaucrats. Our tax dollars and 

Visa at work, I had become a fully 

and duly authorized man in about 

36 hours. And only $9 for the new 

plasticized driver’s license. 

But what of my missing billfold? 

Lean in a little closer for the 

big finish. We did find it in the last 

place we looked. A buddy was over 

to help me take a sledgehammer we 

call “Buster” to take apart a very 

old piano and salvage its sounding 

board for Hoosier yard art. The 

process did offer some serious reverberating 

sound. 

Buster’s home is in the corner 

of our garage next to where my 

billfold had been placed on a step 

stool by my wife and forgotten. We 

had searched high in the garage but 

never got to the low part. A truly 

happy reunion without blame or recrimination. 

We have been married 

61 years and have gone through 

worse than a lost billfold. 

The resonating theme through 

this tale is if we had not decided to 

demolish the old piano, we never 

would have had need for Buster, 

and thus not found my billfold as 

quickly. 

Piano. Buster. Bingo. 

Before finding my old billfold, 

we purchased a shiny new one. All 

new bureaucratic cards will go in 

there for the next time I lose my old 

billfold. Stay tuned for the movie. •

Celebrate the Little Things 

A Note to Baby Boomers 

Ido not wash my car. I probably 

should. 

I probably won’t. 

Downsides overwhelm 

us seniors. Medicare and earlybird 

specials bless us, no doubt. 

Over-the-counter hearing aids indeed 

sound sweet. Nothing helps 

enough, though. Nothing beats aging. 

Nothing could. Reminders of 

what used to be — but no longer 

is — smack us both routinely and 

rudely. 

A good day is when I reach my 

toenails to cut them. A bad one is 

when the young mother exercising 

next to me at the YMCA calls me sir. 

Makes me wish I was almost 30, not 

almost 70. 

Or do I? 

I sure would not mind having 

more energy, more hair and more 

reasons not to go to bed before 10. 

I collect a variety of creepy spots on 

my skin, so don’t look closely, OK. 

I’d like to know why my computer 

and my cell phone and even my 

television insist I embrace the 21st 

century. 

So much as ordering lunch at 

a counter can make my head explode. 

Lunch, really? 

I could feel angry, bitter, betrayed. 

But which nap would I interrupt 

to fuss? Who would listen? 

Besides, our old dog already plays 

the cranky-old-man role in our 

household. 

After a lifetime in occasionally 

successful pursuit of life’s big 

things, I now blissfully chase little 

things. 

They loom plenty big in their 

way. 

The grandkids, our next-door 

neighbors, come over for a swim, 

for ice cream, just to hang out and 

to make another mess. That’s little 

but that’s big. My gym friend invariably 

asks “sir” how was his 

weekend. 

That’s little but that’s big. 

People my wife and I met on 

vacation sent us an anniversary 

card. That’s little but that’s big. 

Friends here join us regularly for 

lunch or dinner, count on it as much 

as do we. 

That’s little but that’s big. 

A long, deep breath pleases me 

as like little else can. Ten of them are 

still nicer. In 2023, I gear down and 

I get by. No one I care most about 

cares a hoot if my car is washed. 

Yes, that too is little but big. I still 

pitch in to meet community needs. I 

gradually cut back on that commitment, 

as well. It’s the whippersnappers’ 

turn to save the world. 

I rejoice in saying no, at last. 

I read obituaries of people 

I knew and people I wish I had 

known. I read of their survivors, 

work histories, hobbies, favorite 

teams and beloved pets. I now 

know these people better, for sure. 

Obits define their subjects respectfully, 

just not fully. 

Little things, little qualities, get 

nudged out in a big picture. 

My obit probably will not say 

how much I enjoy listening to birds 

chatter in the morning. My obit 

probably will not say how I mourned 

the loss via storm of our milewide, 

century-old mulberry tree. 

My obit probably will not say how 

much I love our bedroom clock radio; 

like me, it’s gone from state of 

the art to relic. 

My obit probably will not say 

how I fiercely found no reason to 

click a single selfie or to spend as 

much as a second meandering Tik- 

Tok. My obit likewise well could 

leave out how I preferred hold-inmy-hand 

books and TV ballgames 

with the sound off. 

My obit probably will not 

claim Dale Moss was normal. 

He was a way-too-impatient 

sightseer, this Moss guy. It was just 

him to devote too little time to truly 

big deals such as the Empire State 

Building and the Liberty Bell and 

the Lincoln Memorial. Give him instead 

one of those silent ballgames 

or his noisy-by-nature yard and he 

was contented. 

I heard a man interviewed 

mention the two most-important 

days in his life — the day he was 

born and the day he realized 

why. The why part of old age gets 

tricky, doesn’t it? What’s the point 

when you and I typically run out 

of points? Most of us have raised 

kids and have retired from jobs. 

Our dreams and ambitions turn 

more into memories. We are left 

to re-evaluate what most matters 

and who most matters. Returning 

to sleep after yet another bathroom 

visit is tonight’s bear to wrestle. 

Tomorrow, I hope to remember 

to clip those Burger King coupons. 

I no longer jog. I no longer 

attend any music concert where I 

would have to stand a minute or 

more. That’s OK, since I am more 

into Beethoven than the Beatles. I 

walk slower and drive slower, eat 

I walk slower and drive slower, eat less 

and follow politics less. My world ever 

shrinks, and I am ever tickled. 

less and follow politics less. My 

world ever shrinks, and I am ever 

tickled. I am finished making big 

splashes, though I hope I made 

a few. Busy is a four-letter word, 

even if it wasn’t one. I admit it; I’m 

tempted to let General Hospital 

have its way with me. 

Keeping life simple keeps me 

happiest. 

A goal for tomorrow is to say 

hi to as many people as I can and 

to be grateful for whoever says it 

back. I plan on listening more than 

on talking, on caring more about 

sunshine than the stock market. 

I may or may not succeed on 

all fronts. Either way, my goal for 

the day after tomorrow will be the 

same. 

Perhaps it will rain good and 

hard, and my car will come clean 

regardless. •

Cover Story 

Simply Inspired 

The Inspired Child offers a place to play in Corydon 

“Connecting with your child, 

with other parents, and your 

child connecting with other 

kids.” That is how owner Erica 

Walter describes the goal of The 

Inspired Child, and connection is 

present in all they do. 

The Inspired Child opened 

in Corydon in December and has 

since become a community space 

for the town and for visitors. 

The “community center” has 

a play space, daily classes, sensory 

activities and more. Kids can drop 

in or they can have a membership 

with a monthly fee and visit as often 

as they like. Parents are able to 

play with the kids or set up shop 

and work while they watch. 

Walter herself has a 2-yearold 

and a 3-year-old, is a nurse and 

works at her children’s preschool. 

Her vision for The Inspired Child 

was swift, but passionate. 

“We were on vacation, and I 

heard this boutique was going out 

of business. I looked at my husband 

and was just like, ‘We should open 

something in Corydon,’” she said. 

“We love Corydon so much and 

want to help make it a place for 

families.” 

Walter said she is not naturally 

a businessperson and has experienced 

quite the learning curve 

while opening; however, she continues 

to let the center be inspired 

by her own family and activities 

her kids would enjoy. 

Classes offered include art, science 

and music and usually have 

a weekly theme accompanied by 

daily thematic crafts. They’ve had a 

Father’s Day watercolor card class, 

sensory bins, stuffed animal pre-

tend picnics, pottery, beading and 

more. 

“We like to really partner in 

the shop with other local businesses 

to get the word out about theirs 

and ours and promote community 

for families,” she said. 

For instance, a local bath bomb 

company recently came in and 

worked with the kids on painting 

bath bombs they could then take 

home. 

The Inspired Child hosts local 

vendors selling their products 

as well as a homeschool co-op, focused 

on giving the community the 

resources and connection they are 

looking for. 

“Really it all stems from my 

family, my kids. I really try to incorporate 

things that they would 

love,” she said. “We joke that when 

you come in here, the messier the 

better, and parents don’t have to 

clean it up.” 

Walter said the kids are also 

learning as they play and learning 

to play together, while parents 

make connections with each other. 

Activities and classes are 

structured in such a way that kids 

of any age can participate, from infants 

to 12-year-olds. The idea is for 

Classes offered include art, science and music 

and usually have a weekly theme accompanied 

by daily thematic crafts.

people to participate in the capacity 

they can. 

In the future, Walter said she’d 

like to pursue more STEM activities 

for The Inspired Child. 

“Some kids in the community 

aren’t going to make it to Louisville 

or have access to these things, so 

bringing that aspect to our small 

town and also bringing people 

from other places to our town is a 

really nice addition to having the 

shop here in Corydon,” she said. 

Apart from The Inspired 

Child, Walter also hosts Cinema on 

Chestnut, which is an outdoor family 

movie event. After starting in 

2022, these have become a local hit 

with food trucks, games, sensory 

pools and local vendor booths. 

With everything Walter does, 

connection is unmistakably front 

and center. •

The Overlook Restaurant offers a tranquil setting for a relaxing meal with family and friends 

If you’re looking for a pretty 

drive to take in Southern Indiana, 

wander along State Road 

62 in the Leavenworth area. At 

one point you’ll be up on a high 

ridge, overlooking the majestic 

Ohio River, and you’ll come up on 

The Overlook Restaurant and Walter’s 

Pub. Food — and an incredible 

view like this — you’ve just gotta 

stop for it. 

A long-time staple in the community 

since 1948, and also considered 

an Indiana tradition, the 

original structure was a chicken 

hatchery, built in the late 1920s. 

Then a small café and grocery store 

opened at this location. Then it became 

a Greyhound bus stop. It’s 

come a long way since those early 


years, to its current cozy, country 

décor. 

Once you walk in the front 

door, you may be greeted by Cathy 

Mills or Brandon Howell, co-owners 

of the Howell & Linton Hospitality 

Group, which operates the 

restaurant now. They recently celebrated 

their first anniversary, having 

purchased the restaurant on 

July 1, 2022. As it is with owning 

any business, there have been a few 

minor challenges, but the rewards 

of doing something you love make 

it all well worth it. Mills has been 

in food service for over 30 years, 

so this isn’t her first rodeo. And as 

you talk with her, it becomes apparent 

how much she loves this place. 

She enjoys putting her own spin

on some of the menu items, such 

as slightly tweaking their original 

meatloaf recipe and hearing all the 

positive reactions from customers. 

If you can make it past the 

pastry counter in the entryway 

without stopping to snag a tempting 

sweet treat, you’re in for a 

down-home dining experience you 

won’t forget. A couple other things 

The Overlook is well known for are 

their fried chicken and their coconut 

cream pie. But there are lots of 

other comfort foods here, too, that 

will remind you of long-ago Sunday 

dinners at your Mom’s, so you 

may as well plan on coming back 

here from time to time to try more 

of them. Daily specials are available 

Monday through Thursday for

only $10.99. And they honor military 

men and women by offering 

them a discount. 

The Overlook has gotten so 

popular these days that on peak 

dining times there is often a wait 

time of an hour and a half to two 

hours to get a table. That speaks 

volumes right there of the level of 

quality you can expect to receive 

here. Make the most of that time 

though by getting yourself a nice, 

cold drink and enjoying it while 

you wait. Walter’s Pub is conveniently 

located on the lower level 

of the building and can be accessed 

either from inside the main restaurant 

or from the outside entrance 

in back. It seats around 20 or so 

comfortably inside, plus there are 

several tables out on the deck, overlooking 

the river. The pub even has 

its own kitchen and its own menu, 

serving some fantastic pizza and 

subs. The pub also occasionally has 

live music either inside, or outside 

on the deck, and Howell offers karaoke 

a couple times a month. 

“The three main reasons people 

come here are the service, the 

food and the view,” Howell said. 

The 20-mile view of the Ohio River 

below is absolutely incredible

from The Overlook. “Every seat in 

the house has a view of the river,” 

Mills said. And there are three large 

dining rooms to choose from. This 

gives the restaurant the capability 

to accommodate large groups. Reservations 

are strongly recommended 

for any group of 13 or more. Just 

give them a call in advance and 

they’ll be happy to take care of you. 

With State Road 62 being fairly 

curvy in spots, it’s a favorite route 

for motorcycle enthusiasts. Many 

of them make a stop at The Overlook 

and Walter’s Pub. When the 

weather is nice, you’ll find several 

of the customers relaxing at one of 

the picnic tables scattered around 

the lawn, taking in the gorgeous 

view of the Ohio River. There are 

tons of photos taken from here, as 

barges and other boats make their 

way up and down the river, along 

with a variety of birds and wildlife. 

It’s such a tranquil setting, the perfect 

place for a relaxing meal with 

friends and family, holiday parties, 

wedding rehearsal dinners and receptions, 

ladies groups and more. 

It’s a true destination place. And as 

Howell says, it’s a “tourist attraction 

that serves food.” 

Howell and Mills have some 

future projects in mind for the 

place, including some expansion 

and adding more items to the gift 

shop, so stay tuned. The Overlook 

is open seven days a week, is on 

Eastern Time, and you can find 

their monthly entertainment schedule 

on their website at theoverlook.

sure to take some photos of that 

amazing view. •

Southern Indiana Festivals 

The Fourth Street Festival of Arts and Crafts 

Beauty and artisanship at the 47th annual event in Bloomington, Indiana 

Story and Photos by Sheryl Woodhouse 

The 47th annual Fourth Street 

Art Festival will return to 

Bloomington on Labor Day 

weekend, Sept. 2-3, from 

10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 

a.m. -5 p.m. on Sunday. The iconic 

event is one of most beloved events 

on Bloomington’s art and culture 

calendar. Typically, at least a third 

of the juried artists are displaying 

their work at Fourth Street for the 

first time. This allows the attendees 

to connect with their favorite artists 

and to discover new work and meet 

the people who create it. This year 

is no different. 

Four of this year’s new artists, 

from various Indiana communities, 

are painter Taylor Walker of Carmel, 

potter Kelly Meska of Bloomington, 

jeweler Heidi Mandich of 

Indianapolis, and wood turner 

Samuel Dean of Whitehall. While 

each artist has their own genre and 

techniques, they all share a passion 

for creating art and making things, 

a love for detail and teaching, and 

all are committed to experimenting, 

continually learning and perfecting 

their art, and are well-tuned into 


the business aspects of making a 

living with their art. 

Walker is an expressionist 

painter who is passionate about 

animals and focuses on them in her 

work. Her goal is to blend technical 

ability and photo realism with 

exaggerated rainbow color and 

strokes to create emotion. She says, 

“Neutrals don’t register in my 

brain. Purple is my black. Green is 

my neutral. I want my work to be 

colorful, but not childish; I make it 

OK to be colorful as an adult.” As a 

young artist, she just started doing 

art shows last year, meeting other 

artists and joining the volunteer art 

show committees. 

Meska has been a potter for 25 

years and has also been an art teacher 

most of that time. Since moving 

to Bloomington three years ago, she 

devotes her time exclusively to creating 

functional ceramics with nontraditional 

looks and uses. Meska 

uses a mix of throwing, altering and 

hand-building in her pottery, and 

cuts original, mostly nature-based 

designs into linoleum that she imprints 

into the clay of her hand-built 

work. She takes pride in being very 

picky about the design of her mugs, 

getting the weight, size and feel just 

right, as well as adding details that 

make them more unique. She loves 

doing shows, where customers can 

pick up each mug and find one that 

feels right to them, while hearing 

about her involved, multi-step process, 

which usually surprises them. 

“I was not an artist or a teacher 

by trade,” says Mandich. “I took my 

first metalsmithing class at the Indianapolis 

Art Center in 2006 and did 

my first show a year later.” Soon, 

she was teaching metalsmithing at 

the art center, and realized that she 

loved both, which helped spur her 

into early retirement after an advertising 

and sales career. Mandich’s 

two unusual techniques are quilling 

with metal and torch-painting 

titanium. As a poor conductor of 

heat, titanium makes a satisfying 

medium for painting, so that you 

can lay one color down next to another 

without changing the first 

one. “You’re still not in charge of 

the color,” she says. Admiring paper 

quilling, Mandich wondered,

“Can I make that in metal?” She 

discovered, “Yes, but it’s not as cooperative!” 

While he made his living until 

recently in engineering, metal fabrication 

and sales, Dean has been 

a woodworking hobbyist for 35 

years. His father had a woodshop 

where he would make sculptures, 

carvings and furniture. The wood 

lathe was one tool his dad didn’t 

use, making it available for Dean to 

practice with. 

Recently, Dean had an opportunity 

to change direction in his career 

path, and he thought, “What do 

I like to do? I like to make things!” 

He also likes to give new life and 

purpose to reclaimed materials 

and downed trees. Since it takes 

one year of drying for each inch of 

thickness, the process for making 

his perfectly round bowls requires 

patience. After the first rough turn, 

a bowl can take six months to three 

years of alternating between wood 

turns and periods of sitting on a 

shelf to dry. The opposite is true of 

his little mushrooms that he wants 

to warp for a whimsical look — he 

turns those with green wood. As a 

bonus, the redbud, locust and walnut 

that he turns into mushrooms 

also happen to glow green, yellow 

and purple under a black light. 

These four artists are just a 

handful of the 100-plus artists in 

2D, ceramics, fiber, glass, jewelry, 

painting, photography, sculpture 

and wood who will line Fourth 

Street between Grant Street and 

Indiana Avenue over Labor Day 

weekend, eager to talk with patrons 

about their work, their inspiration 

and techniques. Whether for a couple 

hours or the entire weekend, art 

lovers are encouraged to soak in the 

beauty of the designs and artisanship, 

and to connect with the stories 

of the people who create them. •

Artists of Southern Indiana 

In a rustic corner of Floyd County, 

near Elizabeth, on land comprised 

of forest, caves, sinkholes 

and natural springs, Indiana artisan 

Carl deGraaf established his 

home, pottery studio and gallery in 

1992. 

In this out-of-the-way spot 

where deGraaf lives with his wife, 

M.C., where he creates pottery and 

sells his wares, other activities are 

brewing. 

In 2017, deGraaf gifted this 94- 

acre property to Indiana University 

Southeast, with the stipulation that 

he would continue to live there and 

improve the land until his death. 

IUS students and faculty, however, 

are welcome to use the land now 

for academic research, sustainability 

efforts, natural resource and 

habitat preservation, conferences, 

recreation and art classes. A group 

of faculty and students were recently 

on site looking at sustainability 

efforts; they also got an unexpected 

lesson in decorating pottery. 

DeGraaf, a retired IUS professor 

of educational psychology, 

hopes this gift of his property “will 

foster practical, real-life learning 

experiences that students can’t get 

sitting in a classroom.” 

For example, he said, “sustainability 

students can learn to manage 

a certified forest, geoscience 

students can use the sinkholes for 

hydrological research, and pottery 

students can use the kilns and studio.” 

DeGraaf’s rootedness in the 

practical everyday world – his interest 

in achieving useful objectives 

– is also evident in his pottery practice. 

For many contemporary ceramicists, 

clay is becoming more of 

a purely expressive medium – a fine 

art to look at and not touch – rather 

than a useful art to create functional 

vessels such as cups, plates and 

bowls. DeGraaf’s pottery is almost 

exclusively functional. He said: 

“I’m a Dutchman. My work reflects 

Dutch traits like practicality and 

functionality. My maternal grandfather 

was a carpenter. My father 

and grandfather were house painters. 

That is my heritage. I am a Pottenbakker, 

the Dutch word which 

literally means pot baker. My pieces 

have to work for a living.” 

Some of deGraaf’s bowls, coffee 

mugs, tumblers and plates are 

used daily by him and his wife in 

their kitchen. The couple have also 

collected several functional pieces 


Floyd County’s Pottenbaker 

Artist Karl deGraaf creates visually intriguing, useful art 

of the world-famous Dutch pottery 

known as Delftware, made in Delft, 

Netherlands. 

DeGraaf believes that a piece 

of pottery is not truly finished until 

it is used in daily life. His stoneware 

is all safe for food and is 

dishwasher- and microwave-safe. 

“Handmade pottery should bring

inspiring moments of artful living 

to everyday routines,” deGraaf 

said. 

During construction, his coffee 

mugs receive the most attention. “A 

mug is a very personal object that 

has the potential to create strong 

emotional reactions for the user,” 

deGraaf said. “For example, a mug

handle is like an extended hand. 

The handle is so important that I 

add a little thumb rest on top of all 

my handles, so the user’s thumb is 

happy to spend time there.” 

He often hears stories from 

past customers about the lives his 

mugs have lived. One person wrote 

him a lengthy letter: “I have carried 

this mug from South Bend to 

Bowling Green, on to Aberdeen, 

SouthDakota, and now to Eastern 

Michigan University,” the letter 

writer wrote. “It has always been 

front and center on my desk, and I 

hate to think how many thousands 

of cups of coffee this art piece has 

held over the years. … It is still operational 

and as good looking a cup 

as anyone could ask for,” the letter 

concluded. DeGraaf has saved 

this letter because it reinforces his 

impression that his mugs have become 

part of intimate little daily 

rituals across the country, and even 

around the world. 

Artistic expression also plays a 

role in deGraaf’s practice, so that his 

pieces are not only useful, but visually 

intriguing and compositionally 

strong. Dutch painters Vincent van 

Gogh and Piet Mondrian, among 

others, have inspired his work. A 

few paintings by these artists hang 

in deGraaf’s gallery where he displays 

his own best pieces. The close 

proximity of a van Gogh painting 

to a deGraaf vase reveals the influence. 

Van Gogh’s swirling brushstrokes, 

for example, are referenced 

in the wavy lines engraved in some 

of deGraaf’s pottery. 

For a recent exhibit, “Forms, 

Functions, and Faces,” at Harrison 

County Arts, deGraaf departed 

from his norm to create several nonfunctional 

clay faces. “They were 

playful experiments,” deGraaf said 

of these engaging faces. After the 

show, when he brought the pieces 

back to his studio, he felt compelled 

to make them functional by affixing 

them to vases. 

DeGraaf’s studio is divided 

into distinct rooms: a room for tools, 

a glazing room where he mixes his 

own glazes, a kiln room and his favorite, 

the wet clay building room 

where he throws pieces on his pottery 

wheel or builds them by hand 

from slabs. “With my hands immersed 

in wet clay,” deGraaf said, 

“I am like a kid playing in the 

mud.” 

One wall of this wet clay room 

is lined with large windows, so that 

Artistic expression 

also plays a role 

in deGraaf’s 

practice, so that 

his pieces are not 

only useful, but 

visually intriguing 

and compositionally 

strong. Dutch 

painters Vincent 

van Gogh and 

Piet Mondrian, 

among others, have 

inspired his work.

while he works, deGraaf has a view 

of a grove of white pine that he 

planted himself in 1983. He enjoys 

talking about the trees, the forest 

and its future development, all the 

while demonstrating how to press 

an oak leaf into wet clay to create 

a design on a mug. His practical 

Dutch sensibility – as he envisions 

the future uses of the forest and his 

pottery – is clear and apparent. •

Everyday Adventures 

The Biggest 

Road Trip 

When I was four years old, 

I took the biggest road 

trip of my childhood. Of 

course we wouldn’t have 

had to go far to earn that title. But this 

was legit: 700 miles. 

Most of the places I’d ever been 

were within five to ten miles of my 

house. If we drove the sixteen miles to 

Corydon, that was a big deal. The 35- 

mile trip to Clarksville was considered 

going “up town,” which was basically 

like traveling to New York City. And 

crossing the river to Louisville? Forget 

about it. You needed a passport for a 

trip like that. 

So when my aunt joined the army 

and ended up stationed in Savannah, 

Georgia, I couldn’t even get my head 

around how far away that must be, until 

my family decided to drive there. 

Unfortunately for me, the people 

in charge of this trip, my grandma and 

my young mom, hadn’t done a whole 

lot of traveling either. But that didn’t 

stop them from throwing me and my 

teenage uncles into the family station 

wagon and heading south. 

At least that was the plan. Somewhere 

around Tennessee, which is normally 

a short state to cross on the way 

to Georgia, we got turned around and 

ended up heading west. When you 

drive across Tennessee in that direction, 

it’s actually a long state, like a really 

long state. 

Eventually, though, we ended up 

back on track. By this time, however, my 

confidence in my family’s navigational 

skills was rapidly diminishing. Somewhere 

in the Smoky Mountains, when 

the sun began to set, I was pretty much 

done. It was obvious I was nowhere 

near home, and this trip didn’t seem to 

be ending anytime soon. 

That’s about the time I started crying, 

“I want my dad.” I wasn’t really 

sure how I’d ended up in this mess, but 

I knew if my dad were there, he would 

protect me and somehow get us home. 

In 47 years, not a lot has changed 

in my life. I’ve done a little more traveling 

since I was four, but, like all of us, 

sometimes still find myself feeling lost, 

lonely, and homesick. Not in the geographic 

sense, but in my soul. 

There are times when we may all 

end up on some spiritually dark roads 

feeling far away from home. It may be 

because we took a wrong turn or maybe 

because someone else was at the wheel 

or perhaps it’s just one of those places 

life takes us. 

Regardless of how we end up 

there, the best way forward is the one 

I chose as a preschooler: crying out for 

our Dad. 

My dad on earth is a great guy, but 

when we ran into trouble in Tennessee, 

he didn’t happen to be there at the time. 

But my Dad in heaven? He’s always just 

a prayer away, and when we cry out to 

Him, He has the power to reach into 

the darkness and help us find our way 

home. 

Many years ago, a friend of God 

named David talked about this very 

thing. He once imagined traveling to the 

ends of the earth: up in the sky, down in 

the deepest caves and across the ocean 

and beyond. In each of these far off 

If we drove the sixteen miles to Corydon, that 

was a big deal. The 35-mile trip to Clarksville 

was considered going “up town,” which was 

basically like traveling to New York City. 

places David declared, “even there your 

hand will guide me, your right hand 

will hold me fast” (Psalm 139:10 NIV). 

It doesn’t matter how dark of a place we 

may end up in life, David said. God is 

already there. 

So the next time you find yourself 

feeling lost or alone, cry out to One who 

wants to protect you and guide you like 

a good father should. Even if you’ve 

never talked to Him before, He’s there 

just waiting for you to ask Him to lead 

you home. •

“I GOT WORLD-CLASS CARE EVERY DAY AND 

GOT TO COME HOME EVERY NIGHT.” 

— Kim Pinnick, Cancer Success Story 

When Kim Pinnick was diagnosed with cancer, she wanted the best possible care. Fortunately, she found it 

close to home — at Baptist Health Floyd and Baptist Health Louisville. Her team developed a treatment plan 

that allowed Kim to keep a regular routine. “I was able to come home after treatment, sleep in my own bed, 

and still get amazing care,” she said. Today, Kim is in remission and enjoying life, but said she will always be 

grateful for the care she received. “My journey showed me that I can be strong. With Baptist, I didn’t have 

to be by myself on that journey,” she said. Visit BaptistHealth.com/CancerRisk to learn more about your 

risk for cancer and see which screenings may be right for you.
