I still have the sailboat that Barb watched me make at the Harmon Fieled playground. We were just youngsters at the time which was during World War II.
She certainly was a fine individual. I will always have great memories of our get togethers as kids at the playground....Charlie Evers, formerly of Plymouth st. in Bucyrus.
