| We thank members of the
family of Kent Greenfield for help in supplying materials for these pages. H. R. D. and D.
H., nephew and niece respectively of K., were very helpful in providing photos and in
consulting as to content. N. M., daughter of K, was most helpful in providing her
scrapbook of memorabilia from his baseball days. To these we say, "thank you"! Our memories of K are just as warm as those of RPW and we wish we could express those memories as beautifully as done in the poetry of RPW. We do not have the ability to do so. Red will have to do. And, come to think of it, they don't get much better than that! All lines on this page are from American Portrait: Old Style from Now and Then: Poems 1976-1978 by Robert Penn Warren (New York: Random House, 1978).

…And one Sunday
afternoon, in the idleness of summer, I found his farm, and him home there,… …And the
sun sank slow as he stood there, …Well, what I remember most |
