During the darkest days of the Great Depression, Claude’s father Jesse Wayne was chosento supervise a WPA project to build a road from the community of Reddies River to theParkway, then being built in the nearby mountains. There were few other jobs available in thosedays, and the wages from the project allowed the Waynes and neighboring families to survivethe Depression. No motorized equipment was available for the road project, and local mencompleted the road using only their own labor and that of their farm animals.When his daily farm chores were completed, Claude Wayne was drawn to the surroundingforests. They teemed with wild game and young Claude became a mountain marksman,developing a love for hunting that has followed him all his life.The mountain people had no electricity; kerosene lamps provided lighting. Claude’s motherwashed clothes for the large family by hand on scrub boards. Claude remembers that as aboy they always had plenty to eat on the farm despite the lack of cash money, and that theirclothes were good enough to allow them to attend church. When the children needed shoes,their father would measure their feet with a ruler and then go to town. When he returned, hehad a large white sack filled with a pair of shoes for each of them. Along with the neighborchildren, the Wayne children were vaccinated by the County once a year.Together with his neighbors and siblings, Claude attended a local two-room school to the8th grade, walking about three-quarters mile each way to do so. He felt fortunate, however, assome of the children on neighboring farms walked 3 miles each way. The school building itselfwas also used as a Brethren Church on Sunday. Since the school house was located on theLoggins land, the church was known as the Loggins Church.Claude’s most important schooling came from his father, however; from Jesse Wayne, theboy learned the traits of honesty, hard work, self-sufficiency, and the sanctity of his given wordthat have guided his own life. He still remembers his father’s favorite saying about the need tolook ahead and plan for an uncertain future: “You’ve got to look a year ahead.” Later, Claudewould in turn pass the lessons he learned in a demanding mountain childhood along to his ownchildren.Mountain9
