It was just before Memorial Day in 1975 when the Garden Club put in the hard work of planting around the flagpole at the Park District, which furnished the flowers for the volunteers to plant. Featured in this photo, taken in the rain, are Charlotte Lanasa, Eleanor Scafidi, Jo Voss, Ida Misiano, Eleanor Dylewski, Jean Kohn, Mary Scolone, Josephine Austin and Jo Cosentino. The photo was featured in the June 4, 1975 Forest Park Review.
** The Memorial Day services will be at The Park at 1 p.m. This is the last time the Legion will be doing the services, as it has closed.
