Retired Parks and Recreation Manager, Bill Beavis is joined by City Councillor Larry Hebert and Port Authority CEO Tim Heney in a symbolic return to their old jobs this week. Bill was the Manager from 1973 to 1986 and was in overall charge of the Park. Larry Hebert worked at the park in 1967 and not only operated the rides but helped install them at the park that year. Tim, in his younger years sold the ride tickets then was promoted to ride operator.
