Summary:
Mrs. Katie Walters was born in Highland Park in 1907 and lived there until the airport expansion bought up the land. She and her husband raised their only child there, and they all attended the same school, James Russell Lowell School. Their grandchildren also attended the school. Grandparents, aunts and uncles also lived close by. Alvin Walters came to Highland Park from elsewhere in Kentucky when he was 11 years old. He eventually worked for the L&N Railroad, as did his father and many other men in the neighborhood. This interview is about the Walters' life in Highland Park, and touches on the 1937 Flood.
