HAZEL BURTON BUSH SCHOLARSHIP
HONORING LINEMAN INNOVATORS
A LINEMAN WHO HELPED ADVANCE THE TRADE.
Many critical innovations essential for lineman safety and efficiency have been spearheaded by linemen themselves. The spirit of progressive problem-solving has consistently been a crucial aspect of the trade, though history has occasionally overlooked the significance of these pioneers.
One such trailblazer was Hazel Burton Bush, a lineman and innovator who pioneered a work practice that has been commonly (and mistakenly) attributed to an engineer. In an effort to rectify this oversight and to support his nomination to the Lineman Hall of Fame, Written in Red and Timpson Training have partnered to establish the “Hazel Burton Bush Memorial Scholarship.” This $2,000 scholarship will be awarded annually through at least 2033 at the International Lineman Rodeo in Kansas City each October.

There is no question that Hazel B. Bush was concerned for the safety of the linemen and was fully committed to developing live line tools and methods that would allow them to perform various tasks in a safe manner. He is a deserving addition to The International Lineman’s Hall of Fame as a standout pioneer of live line work methods.
