Riding on the Walking Trail
How one Missouri town offers disabled citizens a day in the park

has never been frail.
Sixty-six years ago as
an Army soldier, he survived the Battle of the
Bulge, which claimed the lives of nearly 50,000 Americans. But today, understandably, his stamina has decreased.
" He used to walk a lot, " explains his wife,
" but the benches on the riverfront trail
are just too far apart for him. "
Barb Hellmann hears stories like this
every year. Eight years ago, her parents
were in the same predicament as Watermann. They wanted to leisurely walk
on the trail beside the Missouri River in
their hometown of Washington, Missouri,

hat does public parks and recreation
mean to Perry J. Segura? Enough that the life
member of the NPRA Board of Directors would
donate a tennis facility, complete with eight courts, dressing
rooms, an administration building, land for a driving range,
and soccer fields, to his hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana.

and president of the architectural firm Perry Segura,
Inc., is hardly a stranger to
parks, recreation, and active
lifestyles-nor to the concept
of civic responsibility. A past

Area Council of Boy Scouts, Segura explains that " public
parks and recreation has helped me understand that exercise is the right choice. "
In fact, this architectural engineering graduate from Louisiana State University has passed his love of parks and recreation on to his grandchildren-and he's convinced that it has
helped them to live happier, richer lives as a consequence.
" I was introduced to parks and recreation as a child, " Segura says , " and have been a patron all of my life. "
As a practicing architect, Segura believes that he has been
able to contribute to NRPA-and to public parks and recreation as a trustee and life member. " I contribute advice to my
local parks and recreation department, " he says.
Sound advice, indeed. How else to explain the Award of
Appreciation that Segura received from the Iberia Parish
Recreation Board?
And, as park and recreation professionals and involved
citizens from this southern corner of the bayou will agree,
they are glad to have Segura on their side.
