Hi Manny. I didn't grow up in that neighborhood, but I'm from the area. Do you have any idea who Maguaritte Ray was? That particular section of Meadowbrook was originally called Sam Houston Gardens, and was linked to government housing, and the military. I find it very interesting.

Now you have made me want to look into my old hood's past.  That park always had me curious...the way it was situated. 

I grew up on Bendell in the 70's and I believe I know that park you are talking about.  Kind of hidden away almost enclosed by duplexes? Fun neighborhood in the 70s.  Went to Bonner Elementary, played Little League in Freeway American, bowled at Mimosa Lanes...and visited Sage often. My mother managed a few 7-11 stores in the area.  The only thing left is Bonner.

My mom used to work at Sage in the early 70's. We lived on Elrod Street. We lived in a duplex with our neighbors named Freeman. Does anyone remember or lived near by. Maguaritte Ray Park was in our backyard.

We moved in like 1972 or 1973 to the Rio Grande Valley (South Texas) but I still faintly remember the neighborhood and park, and of course Sage where my mom worked.
