PITTSFIELD SCHOOL LANDSCAPING BEGINS: Teachers and pupils at the Pittsfield School, plagued for the past few years by a sea of mud where the projected playground was to be, won't have that problem this fall. Heavy duty equipment this week began the task of grading the area on the west side of the school to rectify the poor drainage situation. Part of the six to seven acres will be seeded, while part will be laid out for ball fields and playground equipment. Much of the 40 acres around the school has been rented to nearby farmers during the seven years since it was purchased by the school board.

In this episode, AADL talks to Ingrid Sheldon. Ingrid was Ann Arbor's mayor from 1993-2000.

Ingrid has also been a long time active member of the Ann Arbor volunteer and philanthropy communities who transitioned to politics after her involvement in the Ann Arbor Jaycees. She tells us about growing up in Ann Arbor township and attending its one room school, her appreciation for meeting and working with a diversity of people throughout the community, and her notable accomplishments.
