To the Citizens of Minneapolis,
The death of Minneapolis Park Commissioner, Ed
Solomon, is a great loss to us all. Ed used his position as
Commissioner to protect the Parks for all of the People. He knew
the importance of our neighborhood parks and value of their recreation
atributes.
He also placed a deep value on the beauty and
history of our great legacy, the Minneapolis Park
System.
We would like to share the following quote
from Ed;
"Minneapolis was not a City that
built a Park System. Minneapolis was a City that was built within
a Park System. Most of our people don't know that."
Ed knew that his words were an
inspiration for the Minneapolis Parks Legacy Society.
We would extend our sympathy to the wife and family
of Ed Solomon also to Bob Fine, President, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation
Board,to Minneapolis Park Superintendent, Mary Merrill Anderson and to her
staff.
Sincerely,
Theodore J Wirth, Board Chairman
and
Joan Berthiaume, President
Minneapolis Parks Legacy Society
P.S. We also wan't to thank Annie Young for
sharing the loss of Ed Solomon with us. It is not easy to be the
bearer of such sad news.
