Great Question! I know that the park was the first for Olathe. I had to really dig to locate some information. To follow is what I found on Olathe's 150 Most Notable People..."Ernest "Ernie” Miller wrote a newspaper column, “Dresser Drawer,” that became a community favorite. But he was more than a columnist. Miller was the editor of the Olathe Mirror from 1939 to 1952. His position as a community journalist influenced public opinion, but also chronicled the community, its people and history. His love of Olathe was obvious through his writing and community participation. The Chamber of Commerce named him the first Mr. Olathe in 1964."
