Robert and Betty Hall share a loving moment at the dedication of Hamill
Park, on Saturday morning, September 10. Coincidentally, the date was
also the couple's sixty-fourth wedding anniversary. Betty Hall cut the
ribbon for the opening ceremony. Behind the Halls is HGI Executive Director
Dana Abrahamson, who presented the Halls with a floral arrangement in
honor of their personal and civic achievements.
