I’m an Oak Parker too, moving there at age 3 in 1954. We had Kiddieland out our way. Did you ever get to Bay Beach up in Green Bay?
We lived at 1142 S Grove Ave in Oak Park. One block N. of Roosevelt Rd, & 1 block W. of Oak Park Ave. Went to Christ Church/School. Moved to Kenosha County WI in ‘55. Been to Green Bay and the peninsula/Door County numerous times, but not Bay Beach. Now we live in Rochelle, IL.
