Brief History of William M. Bass, PhD.; D-ABFA; Professor Emeritus

William M. Bass is a U.S. forensic anthropologist, renowned for his research on human osteology and human decomposition. He has also assisted federal, local, and non-US authorities in the identification of human remains. He taught at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and though currently retired from teaching, still plays an active research role at the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility, which he founded. The Facility is more popularly known as the "Body Farm", a name used by crime author Patricia Cornwell in a novel of the same name, which drew inspiration from Dr. Bass and his work. Bass has also described the body farm as "Death's Acre" and Beyond The Body Farm – the title of the bestselling books on his life and career, cowritten with journalist Jon Jefferson. Bass and Jefferson have also written four fictional works, "Carved in Bone","Flesh and Bone", "The Devil's Bones" and "Bones of Betrayal" under the pen name "Jefferson Bass." Bass is the author of more than 200 scientific publications.

Dr. Bass attended the University of Virginia for his undergraduate degree, and received his master's from the University of Kentucky. He completed his PhD. in Anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1961. His research career began as an archaeologist, excavating Native American grave sites in the Midwest United States during the 1950s. He mentions in Death's Acre, somewhat humorously, that this activity earned him the informal title"Indian grave-robber number one" from the local Native American leaders.

Fishing Rodeo at Watts Bar

2010 marks 33 years the Second District Dental Society's Fishing Rodeo has been held at Watts Bar Resort located next to Watts Bar Dam on the Tennessee River. As far as anyone can remember, the first Dental Fishing Rodeo was held after World War II by a few dentists who enjoyed fishing. Thereafter, each year the group would go to a different local TVA lake.

While he was President of the Second District Dental Society Ben Alley appointed me as chairman of the fishing rodeo in a joking manner in an effort to get me to attend the local dental meetings. Ben loved to fish, and I don't think he ever missed a fishing rodeo. I had been to Watts Bar Resort for family summer vacations several times and had gotten to know the owners, Joyce and Ed Probst. The location was accessible to most of our members so the rodeo was held there at Watts Bar Resort.

Slowly, through the years the Rodeo evolved into a family event. Many of our members only attend one local dental meeting each year, the Second District Dental Rodeo.

At some point through the years, Ben named me "Permanent Chairman" of the rodeo. However, the rodeo is and has always been a committee- or group-sponsored event.

About 10 years ago, Don Chase and Gary McCown began a kid's fishing class to teach the children of Second District members the finer skills of fly fishing. Since the second rodeo at Watts Bar, Dr. David Etnier, UT professor of zoology and nationally known ichthyologist has been our judge. Later, Sam Venable, questionable writer for the Knoxville News Sentinel and Bill Landry, narrator for the Channel 10 award winning "Heartland Series," have helped to make the rodeo a success.

Our fishing rodeo is more about memories than about fishing. It is a time of fellowship with our colleagues that live forever. If you have never attended you must. Plan to take your family to Watts Bar Lake. Click here to download the brochure and entry form.
