Abstract
Description
This is an interview with Doris Jean Smith Lewis, a lifelong member of the Scuttlefield neighborhood, which is near Hyde Park. She has seen firsthand the changes that occurred within the community. As a schoolteacher Mrs. Lewis also educated some of the kids growing up in the neighborhoods around her. She is living proof that if you work hard and put your heart and soul into wanting to accomplish your goals, you can succeed.
