Reche's Grove as it once was....

to become Live Oak Park

The first Custodian of Live Oak Park was D. O. Lamb.
He purchased land just to save the ancient Live Oaks growing there, & then donated it to the county for the south section of the park. He protected and preserved the Ancient Live Oaks that had been determined to be diseased and had been marked to be cut down. His Campaign to save the trees was successful. These same trees still stand today.
"Some folks don't know so much", as my Grannie would have said.
D.O. designed, and then helped build, the first picnic tables in Live Oak Park.

The next Custodian & Caretaker was Eric Charles Hindorff.
He built the concrete tables, dug the water wells and built the drinking fountains and the hand pumps; he built the fireplaces and the dance floors and built and installed the flagpole too. He also built the Guest Register. He designed and built them all. These are still in use today, and enjoyed by thousands of people who come to the park every year - they will probably never know anything about these two wonderful men and all that they did for Live Oak Park...a long...time...ago...
