HAVE A SAFE, JOYFUL FOURTH

     Anybody out there have access to a picture of the old Jimmy Archer Field?
     Janice Dutton Rardin, BHS-68, wrote, "my brothers are Bob Dutton, BHS-60; Marv (Tom) Dutton, BHS-62, and Jim Dutton, BHS-65. My cousins are Tom Peterson, BHS-67; Roger Dutton, BHS-63; and Don Dutton, BHS-60. They all played Babe Ruth baseball at Jimmy Archer Field. My uncle George Dutton, BHS-38, was an umpire there. I asked Tom Peterson if he has any pictures of Jimmy Archer Field and he said he didn't but to contact you to see if you did. I would appreciate it if you don't have any such picture, you could let me know who does."
     The Kornerman says, "off hand, I have no answer. I have seen a Little League booklet all about the history of youth baseball in Boone and it, possibly, could contain such a picture."
     ATTENTION: In the archives, just this very minute, 7/3/2019, 5:25 a.m., I, the Kornerman, found that booklet. It is the Boone National Little League Fact Book and Dedicatory Program from May 21, 1977. It appears that this was when a move was made from Jimmy Archer Field to the new Creasman complex. In the booklet is a picture of the old Jimmy Archer Field and a picture of the new Creasman area. However, I must say, that both pictures show nothing much more than the ground area. The older picture does show the banner that hung high at the entrance and read, "Jimmy Archer Field."
