\n<\/TABLE>Mailboxes around Nebraska are a little lonelier this year for friends of the late Col. Barney Oldfield. Those of us who were lucky to have
\nhad Barney in our lives know that the arrival of his Christmas cards
\ncould be counted on like fruitcake and mistletoe. Usually they were
\nthe first cards of the season, since Barney always got them prepared
\nsomewhere around August. He had to start early because he sent
\nhundreds–if not thousands–of them to his friends all over the world.
\nAll of them were signed, most with personal notes, and they were often
\nfilled with clippings of his latest accomplishments. Like a stamp
\ncollector’s dream, the envelopes would always be covered in wildly
\nmismatched postage of all varieties — a P.R. trick Barney learned years
\nago to make his mailings special. It just wasn’t Christmas without one
\nof his fat brightly checkered envelopes sticking out of our mailboxes.<\/p>\n

But this year, we’ll have to do without. Barney died in April; he
\nwould have been 94 this December 18th.<\/p>\n

Barney was a legend in his own lifetime. He was, among other things, a
\njournalist, a press agent to Hollywood stars, a military Colonel, and
\nfriend to presidents, kings, professional athletes and celebrities.
\nAlthough he lived and worked all over the world, settling in Beverly
\nHills for the better part of the last thirty years, he never forgot his
\nroots in Nebraska and his scholarships and medical philanthropy total
\nmillions of dollars. He was, without question, one of the most
\ninteresting and influential characters to come out of Nebraska.<\/p>\n

I’m not a P.R. man, so I won’t try to list all his
\naccomplishments — Barney did that himself better than anybody. But I am
\na friend, for over 20 years, and he was my mentor and advisor in ways
\nI’ll never forget. He took me under his wing soon after I came to
\nCalifornia to work in the entertainment industry. Over time, he helped
\nme start a networking group of Nebraskans in the arts, which has now
\ngrown to over 1500 people, THE NEBRASKA COAST CONNECTION<\/a>. Our regular lunches at the Beverly Hilton and our phone conversations over the years gave me not only career focus,
\nbut a deep respect for the spirit and style Barney brought to his life. He always had a wildly entertaining story of Lucille Ball or General
\nEisenhower or George Foreman or his lifelong friendship with a certain
\nactor-turned-President, Ronald Reagan. Barney had a deft way of
\nspinning a tale, with a wink and a chuckle, so you weren’t always sure
\nof what was fact and what was fiction. But he made you believe that
\neven if it wasn’t 100 percent true, it should be.<\/p>\n

He thrived on sharing the letters and photographs that would “prove”
\nhis adventures and connections — all of us who were on Barney’s mailing
\nlist have received reams of his xeroxed clippings, complete with typed
\nnotes in all the margins, reflecting the latest mention of his good
\ndeeds or honors. Barney’s condo in Lincoln is wallpapered floor to
\nceiling with Oldfield memorabilia, and his archives at the Nebraska
\nHistorical Society have even more.<\/p>\n

In later years, I introduced Barney to the internet — no small feat for a
\nman who still cherished the old typewriter he carried while parachuting
\nbehind enemy lines as head of the press corps in WWII. I had always
\nwanted to make a film about Barney, but couldn’t figure out how to tell
\nhis story in less than miniseries length. A comprehensive Web site
\nproved more wieldy. With Barney’s help, my friends and I built a site
\nfor him at www.oldfields.org<\/a>, which has become a kind of online museum
\nof Oldfield stories, photos, writings and scholarship information. He
\nnever quite got over how the internet made his work available day and
\nnight to a worldwide audience — all without him having to type and copy
\nand send thick envelopes covered in stamps. He never grew tired of
\nadding to it, making it a site that has drawn national praise from
\nhistorians, educators and fellow philanthropists.<\/p>\n

Barney loved hearing from schoolchildren who wrote book reports on him,
\nor from BBC journalists, or old army buddies, all of whom would find
\nhim through his Web site. Even in the hospital, faced with a dire
\nprognosis last spring, he was cheerfully scheming how to improve his
\nsite and keep it fresh long after he couldn’t manage it himself. “The
\nmost wonderful invention in the history of the world,” he told me at
\nhis bedside, making me promise to keep it going and keep his vision
\nalive.<\/p>\n

I think it was this eye toward the future that was Barney’s real
\nphilanthropic genius. He always named his scholarships and grants
\nafter the people who meant the most to him, keeping their memories
\ngoing longer than any cold plaque or statue could do. There is the
\nscholarship named after the high school English teacher who encouraged
\nhim to write, the scholarship in tribute to his old friend the
\nheavyweight champ George Foreman, the scholarships named to honor the
\nNebraska soldiers killed at D-Day. A large medical research grant at
\nUNMC is named for Barney’s wife, Vada, who succumbed to Alzheimer’s.
\nRecipients of these awards — and the hundreds of others like them — don’t
\njust get a check. They also get the video or the book that Barney
\nproduced about the lives of the people who inspired the award, and in
\nsome cases they get to meet the inspirers or their descendents.
\nBarney’s unusual techniques are inspiring other philanthropic efforts
\nacross the country, and his army is growing: the Oldfields Dollars For
\nScholars Fund that Barney created has helped 50 chapters in towns
\nacross Nebraska raise hundreds of thousands of dollars this year for
\neducation. Barney wasn’t a religious man, but he always said this was
\nhis vision of heaven — to keep doing good works from the Great Beyond.<\/p>\n

For those of us around the world who miss Barney, we can take solace in
\nthe knowledge that his life and works go on. If you don’t find a
\nholiday card from Barney in your mailbox this year, here’s an idea: go
\nto www.oldfields.org<\/a> and look for our Christmas card from Barney
\nonline. Check out his Web site and see it in the lives of the hundreds
\nof students and doctors and journalists and soldiers who have been
\nhelped by Barney. He hasn’t missed a beat in his continuing efforts to
\nmake the world a better place. From now on, he’ll just do it without
\nthe stamps.<\/p>\n
