Charles Edward Putney

An Appreciation

Published by the
Charles E. Putney Memorial Association

What delightful hosts are they—

Life and Love!

Lingeringly I turn away,

This late hour, yet glad enough

They have not withheld from me

Their high hospitality.

So, with face lit with delight

And all gratitude, I stay

Yet to press their hands and say,

"Thanks,—So fine a time! Good night."

—James Whitcomb Riley
