Page 12: "Today more than 8300 acres of parks, playgrounds and boulevards are under Vaydik's direction. 'We're the biggest land-owners in town,' he says. 'Kansas City is one of just a handful of cities in the U. S. that contains lots of open space within the city limits. Houston, Jacksonville, and Oklahoma City are the only other examples that come to mind.'"
