Resident Interviews for 2224 Howard Street
Beth Ann Reynolds
Beth Ann Reynolds grew up in the NGA footprint at 2224 Howard Street. She shares stories of her family and memories about growing up in St. Louis Place. Her father was a policeman whose career was fostered by the local parish priest, Fr. John Shocklee (of St. Leo’s and St. Bridget’s). Father Shocklee assisted many of the residents in St. Louis Place. He helped Beth Ann’s father learn to drive and assisted many in obtaining loans to buy their homes.
