Leave it to Baldy
(a tribute by Senator Culp Krueger)
Leave it to Baldy, oft heard refrain.
Accomplished by Baldy--his claim to fame.
Country boy with a gentle air;
For others always time to spare.
Served his community, fellow man;
Worked in harmony with God's plan.
"Leave it to Baldy!" rings in our ears,
Our charge, our challenge through coming years. (1965)
Incise:
Sponsored by Louise C of C; Paul J. Sablatura, pres.
