IN MEMORY OF ROBERT FORD. The MCHS Baseball Boosters received today a generous and unanticipated donation from a member of the Robert Ford family. Robert died as the Knights were preparing for their State Semi-Final game in Lexington last week. Many recall Robert's own baseball playing days with the Calvary team in the old Church League in the 50s and 60s. Few enjoyed the game of baseball more than Robert. During Robert's later years, Robert's dementia prevented his recollection of a lot of things, but his family says if you wanted to start a conversation with him, all you needed to do was bring up those old baseball playing days with games at Mark Thomas' field and Rev. C.L. Smith as the umpire to bring on a big smile and lots of stories. Baseball . . . what a game. Robert Ford . . . what a fine man. Thanks to his family for their donation in his memory.
