I'm a bit behind with this post as the unveiling of two new historical plaques in Washington Park was a couple weeks ago. The plaques were made possible by donations from two BHS Class of '62 members, Bill Walsh and Fred Hawley, and the services of the B'game Historical Society for the content and Park & Rec staff for the installation. One at the entrance to the high school driveway covers the history of the school. The other is deep in the park near the rose garden and covers the history of the Gunst mansion that stood on the site.
Mr. Walsh is on the left and Mr. Hawley is in the middle flanked by three Historical Society board members--from the left, Joanne Garrison, Jennifer Pfaff and my lovely wife Cathy. Check out these new historical additions to our town when you are in the park. Hopefully there are more to come.
