SOME THINGS I'M PROUD OF

-started the community garden in the Dunn's Marsh Neighborhood in what is
now Marlborough Park (1969)

-co-founder of the Dunn's Marsh Neighborhood Association (DMNA) (1973)

As a DMNA council member:

-instrumental in getting the city to buy the 19-acre Marlborough Park in
the Dunn's Marsh Neighborhood (1975) and to accept the idea of gardens in a
public park and extensive areas of long grass as well as a bike path
through the park (1976-77)

-successfully lobbied for preservation of buffer lands around Dunn's Marsh
					including 1 ¼ acres -
Lots 19 & 20 - northeast of the small marsh (1975-1979) and the 24 ½ acre
Schmidt property southwest of the marsh (1988)

-insisted that bikeways be included in the plats of Seminole Hills and
Seminole Forest and was such a gadfly that a policy was established against
vehicular access to Seminole Highway from Seminole Hills


On my own
