Dayville teacher Lori Smith shows off the shady lawn of her home, opposite the former Shell station leased by John Haines, where she says that the Pirsigs rested for a half-hour. When they awoke, Robert Pirsig listened for a while to the relaxed country conversation of Haines and her great-grandfather Paul Grindstaff, the local fire warden. The "Chinaman's Ditch" is no longer intact here, however, and one of the shady silver maples was pulled down eight years ago when it was found to be hollow. |
