Greetings to PN – June 2013

-

Most recent greeting posted at top. Many Greetings to PN also are linked to online stories. Thanks for keeping greetings brief. 

I’m sitting outside the Mayors office reading Positively Naperville. I’d like to share one of my mom’s sayings in your Wit & Wisdom section “if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”  If everyone to that advice just think how the World would change. Hugs. —Patty Gustin

P.S. Sadly, my copy of PN stopped being delivered to my home. I miss it.

Thanking you in advance, I am, 
—Michael F. Davino, National President, The Second (Indianhead) Division Association, Inc., Olivia, NC 28368-0371, www.2ida.org
 
Thanks so much! I grew up in Naperville in the 70s and spent a lot of time there with my family. We are having a reunion and I thought the (Cock Robin “One in a Million“) t-shirts would be a fun surprise. Thanks again! —James Weston
 

Just wanted to take a minute and say a Big Thank You for your coverage of “my” Naperbrook Driving Range Renaming Dedication. From your initial announcement back in February or so, to this month’s front page coverage were really special. You can be sure that Marilyn and I greatly appreciate all you’ve done for us over the years. Thanks. —Glen Ekey

Editor’s Note: Photographer Jo Lundeen took the photos for the story about Glen Ekey, Executive Director of the Naperville Park District from 1981-1996 during a period of rapid growth in the community. The 1981 population of approximately 45,000 grew to 118,000 in 1996 with two golf courses and 123 parks encompassing 2,300 acres.

Wonderful article on Glen (Ekey) and the driving range. Thank you! Picture (by Jo Lundeen) was also perfect—have sent it on to our great nephews (the first two boys) in Mich. and, of course, our grandson right behind Glen. Jackson (7) wondered if he was now famous because his picture was in the paper. Thanks again.  Your current and past articles have been wonderful. —Marilyn Ekey
