I spent seven years until 1957 living across the street from Volunteer Park. It was my playground, and the camels were always ridden as I visited the museum. When my husband and I visited the park in 1973, we hopped on, for old times’ sake. Notice my long hair and flared pants, and Keith’s mustache…signs of the times!
