Gusmas 2011 Title: In His Name Author:jule1122 Prompt: Forgotten
Emmett refused to attend the dedication of Schickel Field with Drew. He couldn’t stand their and listen to strangers talk about what a pillar of the community George had been while making him sound like an institution rather than a person.
The articles leading up the event infuriated Emmett. Nothing more than dry recountings of George’s business accomplishments that told little about the man beyond his impressive bank balance surrounding photos of an unsmiling man behind a huge desk.
Emmett preferred to remember George laughing and dancing at Babylon. When he pictured George, he was smiling, eyes filled with love.
