Thanks for the message.
Of COURSE when I saw the name "Al Green" AND Malcolm X Park (formerly "Black
Oak Park"), I immediately thought of you know, AL GREEN the singer. ("Love
and Happiness, I'm so Tired of being Lonely, Let's Stay Together,) etc.
However, I am glad to learn of our local Al Green who has given up his time
to keep the park free of litter, unbidden, unpaid and unheralded until now.
Neighborhood Fact: Did you know the late actor "Peter Boyle" grew up near
50th & Osage or Larchwood across from Black Oak Park.
His father, "Uncle Pete Boyle" had a children's show on the earliest days of
Channel 12, in the late 1950's, where he showed "The Little Rascals" and
cartoons.
I can barely remember a Channel 12 before PBS, yet I do vaguely. My sister
late elder sister used to talk about it and somehow I recall seeing it.
UHF was the really big thing I remember.
