one in the phone interview told me about this brand
new beautiful building! Next the three hour process
began with a tour of Richton Park. Rose Coleman
was my guide...one of the first streets I saw on my
tour was Schaaf Ct., was this a sign? William Schaaf
was the great-grandfather of my boys who was a
land surveyor whom the builder named the court
after. Our next stop Glaeser Park...Wow a softball
player’s field of dreams with so much green space to
spare! Next stop Klawitter. Poor Rose, by stop two I
had asked a million questions already, but seriously
Richton Park has its own fishing pier? Park after Park
one reoccurring theme GREEN SPACE galore.
Phase two meeting the Department Heads; these
people are your teammates, the kind you can be
in the trenches with striving for victory. As the
introductions go around the room I am in awe that
the Police Chief is a girl! Everyone was professional,
708-748-1740 kind and informative. Competitive by nature, I am
confident this is a winning team.
708-668-5739
Final phase was meeting with community members;
Richton Park Library
708-481-5333 a mixture of Trustee ‘s, Commissioners and members
of youth groups. This is where the fun begins - a
room full of people rapid firing questions at you, but

entered into agreements with neighboring communities to help you do, but the best part for me was being able to ask
