Ella Sharp Park has always been an important place in Jackson. In olden times, elaborate flower gardens and a zoo were there, including "Monkey Island", which is long gone. Today you find an excellent museum, swimming pool, softball fields, soccer field, driving range, planetarium, and the restored homestead of Ella Sharp herself, who deeded the land for the park. And of course, there is an excellent golf course as well! A string of jewels we are immensely proud of in our town of Jackson, the "City of Beautiful Trees".
These are memories.. collected from near and far.. of things and places and people that I love. It is a very personal place for me to recall these things, but also a place I send people who want to know me a little better. This is because we are all constructed from what we know.. what welove.. and where we have been. That is who we are..
