Mrs. Helen Holmes moved to Revolution Park in 1968 at the age of 36 along with her husband, Johnnie Holmes, and her children. At the time of the move, she worked as a Presbyterian Hospital’s Ward Clerk, which she retired from in the 1990s. In Revolution Park, Mrs. Holmes raised two children, spent time at the pool with both her children and grandchildren, used the park facilities and neighborhood businesses, and lived across from the golf course. She discusses the Olympic trials held at the pool and deaths at both the pool and the golf course. Mrs. Holmes continues to live in Revolution Park with her husband.
