RECENT INTERVIEWS
From the Re-Echo, September 2007

We at the Park Historical Society are constantly searching for information to add to our files and our web site. We seek to interview people who actually made or witnessed history.

Dr. Ellen Fifer Green contacted us through our web email, and described her years as the City’s Public Health Officer from 1959 to 1966. She also entrusted pages of her scrapbook to us.

On another subject, local activist Marv Davidov shared his experiences with the Honeywell Project, protesting the manufacture of cluster bombs and land mines. He also provided us with materials that gave the history of the organization.

We’ve heard from many people who were important to the development of the City, including former City Manager Cam Andre; former Councilman Keith Meland; former Mayor Phyllis McQuaid; attorney John Yngve, developer Adolph Fine’s son Jeffrey; and members of various families, including Friegang, (Lydia) Rogers, Seirup, Carney, Waddell, and deBoom.

We have plenty yet to learn, including histories of churches, organizations, and neighborhoods. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this search thus far.
