A MESSAGE TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS,
AND THE STAFF,
OF THE BONNY OAKS SCHOOL
From Malcolm M. Adamson, Superintendent
Greetings! Though over fifty years have passed since
arriving at the Bonny Oaks School, there has never been a day gone by that many
pleasant memories have not come to mind. Among one of the greatest
pleasures Mrs. Adamson and I have are the memories and contact we had with you
during those years. As an alumni, I am sure you too can recall your
experiences there - hopefully, many of which are happy memories that will serve
to override the initial trauma of your young lives. You are always in our
hearts!
With God-given impetus, you are now making your mark upon the
world by contributing to society and the Kingdom of God, I trust, in a very
meaningful manner. Despite the fact that there were hundreds of students
who lived at Bonny Oaks School, I want you to know that each and every one is
individually and constantly held in my heart and mind and prayed for
daily. Today, the Bonny Oaks School no longer exists.
The vast plantation is now covered with offices, manufacturing plants,
warehouses and other businesses. The Chapel still serves as a church, the
office building serves as offices for the U.S-Tennessee and Hamilton County
agriculture departments and the Director's (Superintendent's) home stands as a
bed & breakfast hotel. Although all the other buildings are now gone,
note well:
The original school sign remains prominently set at the entrance of Adamson
Circle.
Mrs. Adamson joins me in sending our heart-felt greetings and
best wishes
to you and yours. God Bless You All!
Sincerely,
December 1999
Malcolm Monroe Adamson &
George Fodell Hankins Adamson

Greetings from Ken and Amber Clay
Executive Director 1981 - 1984
Amber and I were houseparents at Hagen Hall, "The Little Boys
Building", from 1973 - 1975. We went to the Florida United
Methodist's Children's Home in Enterprise, Florida, for almost a year and then
returned to the Little Girls Building on the hill. Our son, Kenny Clay,
was born while we were living there. Our next assignment was The Big Girls
Building next door. While there, I also became the first Director of
Social Services for Bonny Oaks. Our next move was to live in the basement
of the Bonny Oaks Chapel when Mr. Adamson and the Board of Directors appointed
me the Assistant to the Superintendent. The living area was formerly the
old coal bin. We felt kinda like church mice. Mr. Adamson retired in 1981 and I was appointed the new Administrator of the
Bonny Oaks School. Amber, Kenny and I moved to the Dent House and, believe
me, we felt like Jed Clampett moving to Beverly Hills. After about a year,
Amber took a position with the Hamilton County Health Department and is now
their Administrator of Data Processing. When Hamilton County abolished the
Bonny Oaks School, I joined Family and Children's Services of Chattanooga,
Inc. My title is the Director of Property Management and Purchasing.
Kenny Clay is now 24 and was married to Amy Brooks this past year at the Bonny
Oaks Chapel by Mr. Adamson. They had their wedding reception in the Dent
House. We have a daughter named Holly Elaine who is now 16 and is
attending Central High School.
You may be interested to know that the old scrapbooks, picture albums, paper
clippings, history, etc. are located in the Chattanooga Library on the 3rd floor
in the Local History section. Amber and I wanted to share our past and our present with you and want to wish
you all the very best! You were, and still are, very special to us.
May God Bless You and Keep You
Ken and Amber Clay - 2001
Email from Ken 5/31/2007
Here's what's going with Amber and I if you want to update our little site.
We moved from Ooltewah almost two years ago. We now live in North
Chattanooga in a tiny 1920's home. It is only 701 sq. ft. We live 6
blocks up from Coolidge Park and are 7 minutes from work. Amber retired
from the Hamilton County Health Department approximately 4 months ago.
Our son, Kenny, is now 30 and works for Bill Bennette, the Hamilton County Tax
Assessor in a building on the old Bonny Oaks property where the little boys
building was. He and his wife, Amy, gave us our first granddaughter a
little over 3 months ago. Her name is McKenzie.
Our daughter, Holly, is now 22 and works as a manager for Nextel and
Sprint. She graduated from UTC and is buying her own home.
I still have a number of health problems but they haven't killed me yet. I
am retiring on September 14, 2007, which is only 3 and a half months away.
I will be 59 and a half. Hopefully this will reduce a lot of stress which
my system can't handle very well since I contact Lyme disease.
My email address will only be good until I retire. I don't know if we will
have a computer or not.
May God Bless You All!
Your Friend,
Ken Clay

William Shelton Keese III
*July 15th 1933 - Aug 10th 1939
Dr. Keese was an extraordinary man!
Obituary Excerpt: "Bonny Oaks, since its establishment in 1897, had been
considered a home for delinquent boys and girls. Under the leadership of
Dr. Keese and his first wife, it soon came to be regarded as a home for
dependent children from broken homes who had no other place to go. It was
a matter of great pride to Dr. Keese that so many of Bonny Oaks alumni have done
so well in life."
The following were taken from Memorial Booklet of Lucy Mildred Beall Keese 1959
"Please see Charley Camp's tribute to Mrs. Keese in his section of the
Photo Album page"
Mrs. Margaret Radford
March 2002
Mrs. Radford has been at Bonny Oaks since the 1960's and still works today for
the Family & Children Services at the boys cottage, Keese Hall. Over
the years she has assumed many titles during her decades of dedication to the
children, including Houseparent, Assistant to the Director and Director of
Campus Life. She is proud to tell you that she is 80 years old; that her
son, Henry, received a scholarship and graduated from the University of Miami in
the state of Florida; that her daughter, Faith, lives in Chattanooga, runs a
successful business and has two sons; and that she is extremely proud of her two
great-granddaughters, Kaylx and Shelby! When asked if many of the children
from the Black side of Bonny Oaks ever returns to see her, she said "They
come back and find you! I receive many Mother's Day cards from them, and I
still know them all by name". Mrs. Radford writes the following
message to her "Men and Women":
Dear Men and Women
I want you to know how thankful I am that God saw fit to put me in your
lives. There were so many days of hardship, mental anguish but there were
more days of joy, anticipation and happiness through the many challenges that we
had. I look back on all those days and, as I close my eyes, I can remember
each of you. Remember the birthday parties, the barbeques, the days you
received your report cards - how proud we were of so many good report
cards. Buth, igh, think about all the report cards that ere hid, that were
changed and some just got lost in the shuffle - bu also, think of all the A's
and B's that were hung and framed and things taken home with you.
I know as you read this, you will chuckle but I hope and pray that all of you
are good Momma's and Daddy's. I know some of you are taking care of your
own parents and I think that is wonderful. I look back on those days as
our accomplishments, for, in this group there are lawyers, anesthesiologists,
nursers, teachers, preachers, funeral directors, those who are aspiring artists,
and those who are entertainers, cooks, chefs, beauticians, barbers. There
are a lot of single parents I am proud of and some good Momma's and Daddy's who
are bringing their children up in the fear of God. Remember to always
reach for your dreams. Never stop dreaming, never stop living, loving,
believing. For there is a higher Power than all of us

Activities Directors 1962 - 1984
"Pauline and I planned activities for all the children from 1962 until
1984. Picture on left was taken in 1962. We raised our own two children, Greg and Pam, alongside the Bonny
Oaks children. It worked well for us as I was able to attend college
in the mornings and work at Bonny Oaks in the afternoons. After I received
my BS degree in Business Administration from the University of Chattanooga in
1965, I worked outside Bonny Oaks as an accountant for some 25 years.
During which time Pauline took over as Activity Director. She is now in
her 18th year of childcare, and works for Family and Children's Services located
on some of the old Bonny Oaks property. During the time Pauline was
Activity Director, I continued to coach the boxing teams, drive the bus, and
help Pauline in her duties whenever she needed me. We always tried to
encourage the students to do their best at anything they wanted to try. I
was amazed at their skill and courage, especially in boxing. They gave
their all and usually won. Some were really capable of being in the
Olympics, if given the opportunity.
We were able to work and take Greg and Pam with us on all the activities.
Pam sometimes felt like the girls were her "sisters" and was always at
the big girls building. Pam now has three boys, Drew (4), Alec (2) and Trevor (5 months). Greg is
married to Dana and they have three children, Jordan (12), Tyman (6) and Dani
(5). We feel our tenure at Bonny Oaks also provided our children with a well-rounded
childhood. We want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Adamson for being a positive
force in our lives. Also, Ken and Amber Clay, for being dear friends to
us. And to all the Bonny Oaks Alumni: It was a real pleasure being a part
of your lives and we wish you and your family only the very best in the
future."

Family and Children Service in Chattanooga. Mrs. Artman's collection of

Timmie died in the Vietnam war and Mr. Artman passed away in 1993.
Charles W. Camp ("Charley")
Student Activities Director/Summer 1957
"Every child on campus then was special to me. Our morning swims were
great fun! The evening swims for teens (boys and girls) were a bit much at
times, but we always managed to enjoy each other as Family. I was
privileged to teach many of you how to swim. Also, I even pulled a few of
you out of the pool when it was discovered that you couldn't swim a lick!
Ha! The excursions off campus via the faithful green and white bus were highlights
each week! My summer finale was the ten day camping trip in the Great
Smokey Mountains! Nick was along for Camp Cook duties. I recall we
all ate like kings! Wow! What wonderful memories. Well, Dear Ones, I trust life is good for you and all whom you love. You
were precious to me during the Summer of 1957 and you remain so today.
God Bless You, Charley

"Unfortunately Mother isn't able now to write a note for inclusion
here. However, I know she would want everyone to know that even at 88
years of age, she still thinks kindly and appreciatively of every child/youth
who graced the lovely campus we all knew as Home. Mother was there for two
lengthy service terms! She was retired in the mid-seventies, I
think. During the last employment tour, she resided in the Chapel
apartment and it is there where I took my two children to visit their
Grandmother. Both Allison and Chris love Bonny Oaks too!! The great
joy of Mrs. Camp's work experience was to plan the menu, purchase the food
items, and then supervise the preparation and serving of every meal. Mary
Ann and I know that her days are numbered now. She has lived a full life,
served well, and is prepared for the end. Charles"

after we were all well again.

Chapel by Dr. Wm. S. Keese on October 29, 1960. Special times include the
few vacations he shared with us and the fun we had shopping with him and for

game for adventure; and extremely polite and courteous to all."

Eleanore Leonard Johnson
Sponsored Christmas Parties - 1953 through 1957
Message: "It was a great thrill for me to find this Bonny Oaks
website. Each year at Christmas
time, I make a statement to someone that the best Christmases our family ever
had were the years we sponsored the parties at Bonny Oaks. There were
three of those parties. How I remember the last party when we took 30 of
you shopping and back to our house for dinner. Thank you for bringing so
much joy into the Leonard family. My husband, Press, died in 1981 and I
married Kenneth Johnson in 1985. I have known Ken since we were nine.
It pains me when I visit Chattanooga and see the Bonny Oaks campus gone but
nothing can take away the memories of those years. It was Mary Jo Bolt who
made a statement to us after the last Christmas party, 'They forget about us
after Christmas'. We were so touched by this that we bought our station
wagon called 'The Bonny Oaks Express' and we visited the campus and kept in
touch with you until we moved to California in 1958. I would be happy to
hear from any of you up here on Long Island, New York.

much a member of the "family".
Message: "Have just spent the last two-three hours reviewing the
website and thoroughly enjoyed it. Really enjoyed seeing some of the
pictures from our youth and also enjoyed some of the news from the adults from
Bonny Oaks. Frequently visit Chattanooga and the area of the School;
certainly have been a lot of changes. Am happy they were able to preserve
some of the buildings in spite of the progress.
Both my Mom and Dad have passed away. Dad in 1987 and Mom in 1988.
My oldest brother, Jimmy, is married and has lived in Florida for several years.
Wayne, the other brother, has spent his adult life in Chattanooga and has
probably been more in touch with the alumni of Bonny Oaks than any of my family.
He has mentioned several of the guys from time to time. My younger sister,
Sue, also lives in Chattanooga. When I left Bonny Oaks in December of
1959, I joined the Air Force and have never lived in Chattanooga since.
Have lived in Atlanta, Michigan, Montgomery Alabama, San Francisco and am now
back in Atlanta. Retired from Lucent Technologies with 37 years service.
Thanks and will be in touch."

Karen Smith-Huffman - Tyner
friend to many Bonny Oaks children
Friends from Bonny Oaks, Just discovered the web site and spent a lot of time
just looking through it and remembering those days at Tyner Junior and High
school and the kids at Bonny Oaks! I always thought of you all as very special
people! I visited a dorm one day and remember there were 2 beds in a room. I
thought that was neat! I was the only child still at home and somehow hungered
for the closeness of your friendship! My daughter is on the committee for the
Tyner High School 20th anniversary reunion of "1983" held this
year(2003), in Mid-Aug. If you are interested in going, contact Jill Huffman
Mull at jjmull1@cs.com.
I left school in 1965 and married my childhood sweetheart, Mickey Huffman. He
had left Tyner in 1964 and joined the Air Force. My sister-in-law is Sharron
Huffman (now Ingram), who graduated in 1967 (when I was supposed to)! My
brother-in-law is Jim Huffman, graduated from Tyner in 1959-or 60, I believe.
Mickey and Jim played baseball for Tyner. Mickey and I have 2 beautiful
daughters (Jill and Ashley). We also have 2 grandchildren who are the light of
our lives. Mickey works at TVA. I finally graduated and attended college and
work at Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga. My mom still lives on Stockton Drive
and Mickey's step-mom still lives on Wimberly! Would love to hear from any of
you all that remember any of us! Thanks for the memories! Karen Huffman
