In this Part I of a three-part interview, we meet some key members of Friends of Adeline - Ms. Ritchie Smith, Willie Phillips, Mari Mendonca, and Chris Schildt. These four neighbors that call South Berkeley home tell us who they are and how they (along with other neighbors) came to be the mighty Friends of Adeline.
