Comment Of The Day: Frank Verderame And Public Place
New comment on the post "The Transit Garden To Honor One Of Its Founding Me...":
That's Frank (Verderame) standing in front of Public Place site. He was so proud that he got that designated as a recreation space for the community. I remember his coming to a F.R.O.G.G. meeting and showing us the professional drawing he had made up of the baseball field that would go there as part of the park. By the way, that land is still designated for the community, and has to go through a legal process to be used in any other way. Let's honor Frank's memory and vision, a beautiful legacy. One day an open public space for the entire community to enjoy. Frank Verderame Community Park. You have to dream, right? And Frank had a beautiful dream. He was such a smart man, too. That, and his beautiful smile and charm, is what I remember, and miss.
