District 64 students will have a fascinating new book to help understand and appreciate local history and heritage, thanks to a recent donation from the Park Ridge Heritage Committee.
Author Milton E. Nelson (center), who taught history at Maine South High School for 33 years, presented autographed copies of "Park Ridge: Milestones of History" to Superintendent Laurie Heinz (left) for each school Learning Resource Center. Featuring 136 stories and historic images, the book traces key events in the city's political, commercial and social development. Committee Secretary Pat Adlaf (right) joined them to preview the book, which is available for purchase at City Hall and select locations in the community.
