Last Thursday afternoon, a
happy crowd gathered at Ray White Park on Short 11th Street to
witness the unveiling of a new memorial sign for the park.
White, who worked for the city of Lincoln for
over 20 years, was a member of the community and instrumental in
getting the playground established for neighborhood children.

Tracy Jackson, street and alley
superintendent,
told the group how the sign came to be.
|
Several city officials were on hand for the
unveiling, along with members of the community. |

Time to lift the tarp.

The old sign compared with the new -- quite a
difference. |

|
Mayor Keith Snyder remembers the day when he
was a city employee working for White in the street department.
|
White's wife, Pauline, carries on the tradition
of watching over the children in the park.

Paula Schaub, White's daughter, dedicates much
of her time to the park, in loving memory of her father.
