Barnsdall Park

* Re “Renovation to Interrupt Barnsdall Park Traditions,” May 30: The article was a trip down memory lane for me. I remember, 70 years ago, spending more time on “Olive Hill” than I did at home or at Los Feliz School across the street. We grew up on the hill, making lead soldiers, catching polliwogs and riding our homemade coasters down the hill’s dirt roads from the top to the streets below. Nobody had any money, and nobody needed any. Sweet days.
