His Story Comes First 84-Year-Old Man Finally Tells Why Kids Attract Him
Oberlin resident Frank Scott, 84, recounts a long life from slave ancestry to public service, including his father Henry Patterson Scott’s political rise and sheriff tenure. He recalls moving to Oberlin in 1880, his sister Victoria’s Mississippi teaching, and his work with the Pullman Co. and World War II. He says children stop to talk with him, as they are drawn to him.
