Dear Karen;
I am writing You in behalf of the Dayle Cunningham family. We respectfully request that the youth sports
field at PepPertree Par/< be restored to the name of Dayle Cunningham Memorial Field.
At the time of/ts dedication, the field was on school property and originally named in memory of my father
back in 1962 after his death in an automobile accident. My father put his heart and sou/' into that park for
the benefit of all the children, and future children, of Tustin. He was responsible for the start of Little
League in Tustin, which continues to this day. My father viewed sports as a wholesome channel for the
development of the youth of the community, a view that my family and ! continue to Uphold. My father,
mother and all of the Cunningham children attended Tustin SChools.
The name was changed to Peppertree Par/(. At the time of the change, no one in my family was not/f/ed
so as to be able to raise any objection nor attend any sort of meeting that may have bccurred at the city
council. My mother, a single parent with three small children, recovering from her own tragedies and
working full time, was not in any pos/t/on to rectify this change at City Hall.
Our family sincerely believes . . ' ·
memory of those who that Tustin is a City that is dedicated
served the community, to preserving/ts h/story- as well as the
close to our hearts as Well as to the hearts of My family has a long h/story here and this matter is'very
and h~s t~re~ess eff~rts ~n beha~f ~f th~s c~mmu~htey~ members ~f ~he commun`ty wh~ remember my father
Those of us who loved and remember my father are asking the city to reinstate the name Dayle.
Cunningham Memorial Field to the youth sports field at PepPertree Park and to Place a memorial Plague at
the field in his memory. The family and friends of Dayle Cunningham are willing to bear the costs invo~lved
in doing this. This would not only mean a lot to me and my family, but would also enable the city to focus
on/ts unique h/story and the people who made it what it is today.
