She recently past March of 2011, she was 96. While going through and cleaning up her belongings I discovered a program from the July 4,1947 Negro League game. The teams were the Atlanta Black Crackers vs the Chattanooga Choo Choos. Also on the program it appears to be a signed signature from one of the players to my grandmother. The program is in great condition to be 64 years young.

Even the park named after her has been neglected in recent years. Luckily, National Recreation and Park Association has partnered with the City of Atlanta and a number of other organizations to revive the once vibrant Butler Park.<br /><br />Wesley, <br /><br />I'd love to speak with you about the plans for revitalization, if you find a few free minutes. Feel free to call or e-mail at your earliest convenience.
