Dear Sharon:
December 9, 1982
As the developers of the Mesa Ridge subdivision in Round Rock,
Provident Development Company would like to propose that the
park be officially named for Mr. Gus Stark. Mr. Stark is a
well respected, lifetime resident of Round Rock, and in fact
owned the land where the park is now located.
We feel that such a dedication would historically link the
past of this city with its future. We would be happy to pay
for any signage associated with the change. Please forward
this request to the responsible parties and should you have
any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely yours,
PROVIDENT DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
