Additional commentary.
1. My dad
Ronald V. Crews was is my father and today is the 40th anniversary of his passing, which was July 2, 1971. I was unable to attend the original park dedication, because of military service. However, I was able to attend the redecication to the miners that worked at Central Ohio Coal Company, of which I was a member of that group. It is indeed a beautiful view over the valley behind the park, and is worth a look. Ron Crews was one person that you never heard anyone that worked for him utter a bad word. He is still missed by his family.
