Chairman Tyson read a letter from
(brio Mr. Frank Lindsey, Park and Recreation Director, as follows:
"Mr. Phil Peterson has through the past eight years been a
personal friend and at the same time has been a co-worker
toward programming and programs for the children of the
Hurst-Euless-Bedford communities both in school and city
recreation.
He has been unselfish and contributed time and expense
toward the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Intermural program and
the Euless Recreation Program. On three occasions when
the Euless bus was inoperative and he loanded us the Hurst
Bowling Alley bus free of charge for the complete summer.
It is from this past experience that I personally believe
his extablishment would add to the total recreation program
in our city even if in Mr. Peterson's position it is a
business venture. I know from past experience his morals
standards are high and he demands this same high standards from
all participants in his program.
It is on this past experience that I could say in complete
honesty I personnally believe his establishment will be a
credit to our community."
