Abstract
Description
Mary Blair, born in 1955, is a loving mother of seven. She moved to Memphis in the 70's and has been there ever since. She fell in love with Highland Heights because she had no problems while living there. Her children grew up in Highland Heights and since then it has becomea better place. To her, Treadwell was the center of the community. All of her children went there and it was a big reason for the neighborhood being so close-knit. As the neighborhood progresses she hopes to see less vacancies and more organizations for the youth. "Love carries you a long way"-Mary Blair
