2008 Dorothy Richardson Resident Leadership Award Winners

 

"You asked what motivated me. I'm a Christian woman, that's why. Besides, I believe people get their roots down when they own their houses...take pride in them. That, in turn, is good for a whole city. Why should a neighborhood be a slum when it can be a place of good, livable homes?"

-Dorothy Richardson
March 1988, Pittsburgh Press Interview
