William B. and Athlyn C. Pritchett
owned and operated the Pritchett Insurance and Real Estate Agency in Pittsburg, Ks. for more than 50 years.
This park is one of the results of a trust they established with a mission to improve the quality of life in Pittsburg and Crawford County by strengthening children, youth, and families and by supporting projects that serve these populations.
The trust is managed by Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, Pittsburg, Kansas. We honor their commitment to carrying out the wishes of Mr. & Mrs. Pritchett.
Many "angels without wings" spent countless hours volunteering to build this community park. Due to their hard work and commitment future generations can enjoy this facility and remember the true spirit of this community.
Dedicated May 28, 2006
the spirit remains
