To Whom it May Concern: Re. Naming of the classrooms on Ambrister Park after The late Carolyn E.
Payne
I write to lend my support to the voices of those who are advocating renaming the classrooms on
Ambrister Park after the late Carolyn E. Payne.
One has only to begin looking into the history of Armbrister Park to acknowledge the valuable
contribution that Carolyn E. Payne has made, to the positive impact this park has made on the
community of Coconut Grove, and on the lives of those who frequented the park.
Her life story (especially her early education) is one of challenges overcome by hard work and
perseverance, and one that sought to make a real difference in the lives of others. She broke barriers by
being the first "Black Female" supervisor in the city when she was hired, and worked at the park for
thirty five years, giving of her best as she planned activities and programs especially geared towards the
"under privileged".
Her Church Family of the Historic Christ Episcopal Church, fully endorse the renaming of these
classrooms, not only as a testimony to her contribution, but as an example for others to follow in seeking
to excel academically, serve faithfully, and build up lovingly.
Yours in Christ
at onathan G. A. Archer, Rector
Christ Episcopal Church
