The <br />Louisville Historical Commission annually recognizes <br />one person or persons for their service to the <br />community with the Pioneer Award. The Commission <br />was happy to have the opportunity to belatedly give <br />Keith his 2020 award! Keith has had a huge impact on <br />parks and recreation spaces in Louisville. As the Chair <br />of the Parks & Recreation Board in the 1970s, he was <br />instrumental in the development of Memory Square <br />Pool and the restoration of the exterior of the <br />Louisville Arts Center. His years of service and <br />involvement made Louisville a better place for <br />recreation.

How can we create a warmer <br />community and a cooler world?
