CONTEMPT AT
FORGER'S FIELD
They call it that because that's what it was -
the field where Kannarty's farm once was:
but it was more than that - a cellar full of
printing and engraving presses, counterfeiting
money everywhere. His specialty was hundred
dollar bills which - at the time - were also being
specialized in by the Russians, who flooded the
country with so many fake hundreds that they've
had to change the Hundred Dollar bill twice in
twenty years. Unheard of ever before. Kennarty
got in on that, in his much more small-scale way;
and it worked for a while, but his kids gave him
away - flaunting their happenstance at one too
many a high school dance. Sucks to be him, I
suppose. They came and took him away, everything
was closed and the family moved away, and even
the farm was burned - house and sheds and
trailers and the rest. I never heard any more.
