Description: The photograph shows a view of the green of the eighth hole of Ottawa Park Municipal Golf Course. The Ottawa Park Golf Course is located in Toledo, Ohio. The course was designed by Sylvanus Pierson Jermain and established in 1899. Ottawa Park has the distinction of being the oldest public golf course west of New York City. Ottawa Park claimed another first in 1922 when it hosted the first USGA National Public Links Championship. In 1977 many renovations and upgrades to Ottawa's greens, tees, bunkers and irrigation were completed by Toledo's own world famous golf course architect Arthur Hills. Today, because of those renovations, Ottawa Park is known for its fine greens and overall excellence. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of C. Walder Parke playing golf with other Army Air Forces members. Charles Walder Parke was born on July 28, 1924, and grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio. He enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces in 1942 intending to be a pilot during WWII, but spent most of his military career as a navigator on B-17 Flying Fortresses in the 94th Bombardment Group. Parke earned two Bronze Stars, an Air Medal with several Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his successful bombing missions, including some over Berlin. He is best known for being on board a B-17 which was shot down over France by German planes on June 25, 1944, during a non-combat mission. The crew managed to make an emergency landing, and everyone inside survived. After the war, Parke founded the Cleveland-based Laurel Industries Inc., which became a prominent supplier of antimony oxide to the plastics industry. He died of Lou-Gehrig’s Disease on September 15, 1996, at the age of 72. View on Ohio Memory.
