Arlenes knowledge of baseball and love of history enticed her to learn more about one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Shoeless Joe Jackson. In 1998, after meeting Joe Jacksons sister, Gertrude Jackson Trammell, and Jacksons good friends, Joe and Kate Anders, Arlene knew she wanted to promote the story of Shoeless Joe. While working as Executive Assistant to the Mayor of Greenville, South Carolina, she held several annual exhibits about Jackson at City Hall and then spearheaded the creation of a bronze statue of Jackson which was dedicated in 2002. She founded the Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum which opened in 2008, and is a must see destination for visitors to Greenville. Arlene and her husband live on a small farm in Greenville County, SC.показать меньше
