| On Mom's 80th Birthday the family got together and gave her a special treat to her with a dinner at B. Smith's in downtown Manhattan followed with a special get-away trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey for a performance by Patti Labelle -- Live in Concert. Beryl had so many treasured outings to Broadway theater shows, museums and the like. However, one event she would talk about for years to come was a birthday present I gave her to see a live concert in Hartford, CT with the musician YANNI. |

I read the tribute to Ms Beryl and I hope others that read it, enjoy it like i did. You really took us back down
memory lane from the 60's up to the present and I'm sure that many of us, that grew up in that 50', 60's and 70's era
have fond memories of what it was like to listen to the magical music, listen to the many revolutionary speakers,
dress in our best clothes (hang out at parties) of that time and go to the theme parks in our different cities. For
African Americans-around this area (Washington, DC) our hang out park was Marshall Hall. We would board the
boat down at 6 and Half street S.W. and enjoy the many entertainment venues that were offered even before we
arrived at the park. (There was always a band, food for sale, slot machines and bowling, right on-board). The
white (peoples) park was Glen Echo Park (since DC was still under segregation at the time).
I certainly enjoy those days and your tribute to Ms Beryl brought back those memories. I never heard of
Freedomland until reading this article. Later on, of course, we had Kings' Dominion and Six Flags. I know your
mom would have been very pleased with your tribute to her and hopefully friends and family members can
appreciate the time and effort u put into making such a tribute possible. It would be nice for them to give a
response too.
