This is a photograph looking to the north from a tree called the Hangman's Tree which was located near 102nd Street and Menard Avenue.

It discusses his personal recollections of the grassland ecosystem that once existed throughout the Oak Lawn area, focusing on the 1950s and 1960s. Robert lived at 5752 101st Street before leaving in 1971. |
