Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about? It can be just a line or two or more if you wish. Your name won't be used unless you ask that it be. Send to tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!

    It's a shame more locals don't know the history of Vic Keen. Although born in Bel Air, he graduated from Snow Hill HS. In the 1920's he was as famous as Walter Johnson and Christy Matthewson. If you knew him in his later years it was hard to believe that in his prime he was only 5'9" and weighed a whopping 165 lbs. I believe he is buried right here in Pocomoke, although I can't remember if he is in the Baptist or Methodist cemetery.
