I was born in Dayton and raised in Kettering. This was one of my favorite places to visit. I spent some beautiful summer days wandering around and reading the markers, admiring the beautifully carved angels, the life size statues and feeding the ducks in the pond. Thanks for this reminder of days gone by.
