I know Greg is so proud!! I can’t tell you the time and energy he put in this field. We poured grass seed and poked holes in the dirt (I forgot what it is called). We checked the grass all the time. Lots of times I didn’t go because I was tired of checking the grass. Lol
Like the time we took our little dog out there to check the grass. I didn’t think Coco would go far, so Greg let him off his leash to run. I WAS WRONG! I chased Coco through the garden, trying not to step on the plants. I slipped in the mud and broke my flip flop. Greg is still standing looking at the grass until I came back, out of breath, and covered in mud!! He asked, “Did Coco go far?” I told him NO! He just went a little piece, then we busted out laughing.
Just thought you all might get a good laugh out of one of my memories.
Thank you all for your generosity and support during this time.

Incredible story about an obviously incredible man. I have been around NWE and Bradberry Park, primarily during baseball season, but it is truly awesome to read about a guy that truly held a love in his heart for the youth of the Walnut Hill/Bratt area!!! It should be recognized that although Greg is no longer physically doing the work, he left a legacy and laid the groundwork for those that are going to continue building on what he started!!! Greg Gibson accomplished something we should all strive to do…leave this world a little better than we found it!!! Good job, sir!!!
