Bard of the Baltimore Sun helped fund Key monument
Bennztown Bard of the Baltimore Sun joined the association that funded the Francis Scott Key monument in Mt Olivet cemetery fifty years ago. McKinsey, former editor of The News, backed the project when the idea arose and was unable to attend the rededication. Fifty years ago he read an original poem at the dedication.
