MIKE LAYMAN

Park Coordinator, who has been reserving/purchasing our spot in the park for what would have been 49 years this year, often arriving in the wee hours of the morning to save the space. Plus, he brought a truckload of tables and sports equipment. When we get back to gathering in person, let’s give him a handshake and a hand.
