Favored ‘Budd’ for park

To the Editor:

After reading the article published in the Reader’s Views section of the Sentinel by Ed Brekke-Kramer, I was compelled to write my opinion.

Living in Fairmont for more than 71 years, I have been interested in the progress of the city. When it was decided to build a water plant on the site of the Budd School lot, I felt sadness. But, of course, it was the logical spot.

I mean no ill feelings with the Pierce family; we were neighbors, and our kids played together. Steve Pierce was connected with many worthy things and should justly be recognized. But I believe the new park would have benefitted from the name “William Budd Park.”
