A Living Legacy - Lifetime Legacies & Lunch, part 10
Rae Gravley concludes the series of stories from North Park.
Hardin-Simmons University and the former elementary school in the neighborhood have made and continue to make lasting contributions to the quality of life for the people living near them. One woman at the luncheon said she cried the day Ben Milam Elementary came down. Many of these North park neighbors had played or allowed their children to play on the old school ground. With so many good memories rising form the freshly broken ground, there is a healthy sense of loss coupled with the bright hope for tomorrow. And with the “planting” of this new phase of neighborhood development, there is incredible potential for more good memories to be made in the future—neighbor to neighbor and friend to friend.
