O Wendell Smith discusses his work as vice president for development and public relations at Averett College with clarity and conviction. He is a thoughtful man who listens, considers his work and family, and his beliefs. He notes the public often sees him only as a fund raiser.
Southsiders at Averett detail Smith’s role in planning fund drives and capital campaigns, plus teaching consumer economics. He lists a rich education from Jacksonville University, George Washington University, and the University of Alabama, and recalls decades in academia. Smith and his wife Susan have two children, Tambra and John, and he values mentoring, civic work, and writing ambitions while enjoying Danville life and leisure activities.
The Hiawatha Trail on White Oak Mountain seven miles from Chatham grew from a pasture into a sought after recreation and outdoor teaching tool. Bil Hathaway, a long time science educator, built and maintains it with help from volunteers and the Pittsylvania County School system. The trail, open to public and school groups without charge, winds along the White Oak Range by Bannister River, with extensions like Hemlock Loop. Hathaway emphasizes safety, conservation, and hands on learning while noting plaques have mostly disappeared and that hunting seasons limit access October through March.
