Dear Mr. Tedesco:
The Tenant-Management Association and the youth of Roosevelt Homea
reapectfully request that the new playground recently completed on
Ames Avenue, and tentatively named Amea Park Playground be named
Sackett Park in honor of PatrolAan James T. Sackett, who was
recently killed in the line of duty. _
We believe this would be a lasting and proper memorial in his memorq.
The Sackett family has been contacted and both wife and father said
they would be honored to have the playground named in memory of
James T. Sackett.
James Sackett was involved with and very much interested in youth
and youth activities and a playground in his name would be a fitting
memorial.
The family has also consented to be present at opening ceremoniea for
the playground. We have also contacted an American Legion Post
which has graciously conaented to present a flag at the dedication.
We sincerely hope that the department of Parks and Recreation will
consent to the name of Sackett Park.
Very trulq qours,
