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.
Your friend,
