From Kathy:
So for everyone who would like a place to go, be close, or see a place he spent a lot of time I'm putting a bench, picnic table and plaque in Cherokee Park in his honor. I am having a dedication ceremony on the anniversary of his death. OCT 16th. The ceremony will be held in Cherokee Park in St. Paul, MN where Mikey enjoyed his childhood to adulthood. As a child i would take him there to play, swing, just be in nature. When he was a teen we would go sit on the bank and just be silent. He would ride his bike there, take the dog for walks, and by adulthood he would write music there. The money I'm hoping to raise will go towards the bench, picnic table and plaques. I have asked some people to come play, some to tell stories about Mikey and a few speeches.
I'm doing this so those of you who don't live here or do will have a place to go and be close to him, get inspired by him, see the things he saw, a place that will last until they tear down the park which will be a very, very, very, long time.
Thank you,
Kathy Averill
