I am writing on behalf of the ongoing attempt to preserve and protect Rocky Nook Park.
My wife, Kathryn Marin, and I have lived directly behind the park for more than 50 years, on Mission Oaks Lane. We've raised two children here and have also, along the way, offered safe harbor to their classmates and peers and others in need of shelter.
The park is an essential part of the past in need of preservation by the county. It is like a window in time, a sort of wormhole in time, preserving a part of the environment (and that includes the plant and animal history of the county) that would vanish if meddled with.
