Names for new parks were chosen by the Park & Recreation Commission: Carrick Waterfront Park and

Harlan Rask regarding the persons buried since the last cemetery book.
Toni and Gail interviewed Norm Schwanbeck and his wife who have many memories about the Otsego
era from 1930's on. Norm's mother was a Davis, an early family in Otsego history. Toni and Gail will go
back to scan pictures they possess.
History signs for the Parks are in process with Dan Licht and the City awaiting a new funding cycle.
