As I remember the reservoir was at higher elevation set in the middle of a city park. You could see, on a clear day, both rivers coming together to form the Ohio River. Probably looking down miles away from the southwest corner view of the city,... seeing highways, train tracks along with the rivers. There was a special feeling at 8 or 9 years of age looking down on Commerce (my special kingdom). Today, this is my Virtual Reality Self-hypnosis Retreat! Why? I did not have a care in the world at that time in the fifties. It is an absolutely good place to retreat now, and often. Herbert S. Green Jr., Ph.D., LPC
