WHAT'S HAPPENING
By Bob Reiss, From the Re-Echo, Summer 2002

On Saturday, July 13, 2002, a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of  Skippy Field will be held at Skippy Field.  The thousands of kids who have played and cheered at the field will participate.

Several reports have been received about alligator sightings, but they have proved to be false.  At Meadowbrook Golf Course, it has been reported that golfers are being more careful about retrieving balls from the creek.  Keep looking.

The name of the editor of the St. Louis Park Historical Society's newsletter will not be capitalized when it appears in this issue, because in the last newsletter he failed to note that the Society's own Depot is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
