New Park Names in Roseville ... We would love your help for our good friend, Fred Festersen (jr)
A letter from our good friend, Fred Festersen, Jr for his father Fred Festersen Sr.
Park name suggestion: Fred Festersen Sr
"Dear Friend:
The city of Roseville is seeking names for 2 new parks. One park is an eight-acre park off of Village Green Drive, adjacent to Junction Elementary School. The other park is also an eight-acre park off of Bob Doyle Drive, adjacent to Chilton Middle School. Most of the parks in Roseville are named in honor of outstanding citizens. I’m asking for your support to see that Fred Festersen Sr. is given full consideration for this honor.
My dad has lived in Roseville for 87 years. He attended Roseville public schools and is a class of 1935 Roseville High School graduate. After serving in World War II with his two brothers, he returned to Roseville and began a Real Estate & Insurance firm that was in continuous operation for more than 53 years. During this time, my mom and dad raised 5 children.
During my dad’s business career, he was always heavily involved with the Roseville community. He was a member of the committee that built the original Roseville Hospital and sat on the original Board of Directors. Over the years he sponsored Little League, Bobby Sox and soccer teams. He was commissioner for the Golden Empire Boy Scout commission. He is a two time Past President of Roseville Kiwanis Club and sat on, or presided over the Board of Directors of Sierra Family Services, United Way, Multiple Sclerosis, Roseville Chamber of Commerce, North Roseville Recreation Center, St. Vincent de Paul and the Placer Association of Retarded Citizens. During the 1973 Southern Pacific rail yard bomb explosions, my dad offered his office building on Douglas Boulevard for the insurance adjusters /FEMA to use as their headquarters. He is probably most proud of his contributions to PRIDE Industries as one of its original founders and President of the Board of Directors. His accomplishments and contributions to PRIDE are acknowledged every year as their most prestigious service award named the Fred Festersen Award.
My dad has always given freely of his time, money and energy to make his hometown a better place. I hope that you agree, and I respectfully request that you complete the attached form in this e-mail and return it to me or to the City of Roseville at 311 Vernon Street Roseville, CA. 95678.
Time is of the essence as the City of Roseville is considering park names through December 4, 2009.
