Tim Ainley Memorial Scholarship
The son of Frank and Barbara Ainley of Elderwood, CA, Tim spent his early years on the family cattle ranch with his brothers, Frank Jr. and Craig, and his sister, Annette (Buckley). He attended Woodlake High School and, later, the College of the Sequoias. He graduated from Westmont College and was recognized with a collegiate All-American Award in 1977 for baseball. He began his teaching and coaching career at Mt. Whitney High School, but spent his career at Golden West High School since its opening in 1981. As a teacher and a coach he helped construct the Golden West sports fields and started the baseball program. However, Tim was, at heart, a pastor, as demonstrated through his lifelong ministering to others through home Bible studies, Young Life, Youth with a Mission (YWAM), youth pastoring, and 18 years directing his own Christian discipleship school with June.
