Keith Petersen - Collected Poems
Keith Petersen was a long time member of CUCC and member of the NCSU Faculty. His passion during his retirement years was poetry. On July 28, 2000, Keith sat in his kitchen with Lavon Page and recorded some of his favorites that he had written over the preceding 25 years. These are the only recordings of Keith reading his own poetry. Keith's baseball cap from Williams College hangs as a memorial in the back room of Pilgrim house. He wore the hat in that room often while meeting with the CUCC Bible Study group.
