Welcome back! This season, we bring you Second Half: a new series drawn from the interviews we've collected as part of our oral history partnership with StoryCorps, featuring Old Town School folks and their stories. In part one, we introduce you to Chicago artist Peggy Lipschutz, who is about to celebrate her 100th birthday. She’s been part of the Old Town School community since its earliest years, and her artwork still adorns the school walls today.
