This chapter recounts how in 1932, Still found Hindman, Kentucky, through his friend Don West. He worked at the Settlement School there in the summer, organizing baseball teams and supervising a boys’ club. Loomis continued to support Still while he continued to look for more permanent employment, which he found in1933 when Hindman Settlement School offered him a library position that provided room and board but no pay.
