While attending Dudley High School, he was recruited by Miss Alice Lloyd to attend Caney Junior College (now Alice Lloyd College) in Pippa Passes. He continued his education at the University of Kentucky on a Caney Junior College Scholarship and graduated with a B.S. in electrical engineering. While still in school, he met Orlela D. Daniels, who was working as a home economics teacher at Homeplace in Ary. When World War II began, he enlisted in the Navy. He and Orlela traveled around the country for Adrian's specialized communications training. After the war, they returned to Troublesome Creek and bought a sunny mountainside land across from McGilton's Branch. They built their first cabin home on the land and planned for their big house which they had designed themselves. Adrian and his father quarried and hand cut the stone for the house. While finishing the big house, their first daughter, Teresa, was born. They eventually had three more children while Adrian made a career as an electrical engineer with Kentucky Power and Orlela was a homemaker. Adrian worked for Kentucky Power for 30 years. Near retirement, he enjoyed a two year stint as a distribution engineer in Cairo, Egypt. During his career, he enjoyed being a scoutmaster for Boy Scouts of America. He also served eight years on the Perry County School Board and was an active member of Hull Presbyterian Church. He as an engineer, a scout, a good fire maker, a carpenter, a stone mason, a visionary, a humorist and a teller of tall tales. He could solve any problem and make anything from nothing. Some called him a genius of Troublesome Creek, but he always laughed that off. He loved all things, trees as well as people, small as well as big. He loved eastern Kentucky more than anything and will be in her fabric into eternity. Funeral services will be held at the Orthodox Primitive Baptist Church at Ary at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 19.
