This vastly under utilized micro-park is dedicated to the memory of Gen Steiger.Born in Ohio, she grew up there and in the Fife Lake area. She began her working career as a teacher in a one room school near Summit City.After fifteen years of living, working and starting her family in the Detroit area, Gen returned to Traverse City in 1937. A single mom with four kids to raise ranging from teens to an infant, she began as a bookkeeper at the Cigar Box Factory. Over time she changed businesses and became a manager and eventually the owner of the Credit Bureau of Traverse City. She was the first licensed female real estate agent in Traverse City.Always a supporter of the public schools, among other positions, she served as the President of the PTA. She was also an early active booster of Northwestern Michigan College, serving as President of the Wigwam Club and on the library planning committee. She was a member, officer and leader in the Business and Professional Women, Zonta, Red Cross, Michigan Heart Association, Community Council and the Associated Credit Bureaus of Michigan. In 1962 she was selected as Traverse City's Person of the Year for 1961.Note: The cache is moved for 2004. The container is a small clear plastic container. It should be an easy find. It might be difficult to access it and return it if the park were busy but it rarely is. You will probably have it to yourselves, however there maybe folks out and about at the condo next door. Please practice stealthy caching and try to keep it fairly well hidden.There is poison ivy in the underbrush. Bring a lunch or snack and stop at the first picnic table.Sorry, no dogs are allowed in the park.
