Tad Gish interview, 2003

Abstract

Tad Gish shares his experiences growing up in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, during the 1930s. Gish discusses his family history, including his grandfather's funeral home and his father's dental practice, and describes the vibrant community life along West 14th Street. He reflects on the neighborhood's demographic, primarily composed of hardworking, foreign-born individuals, particularly of Polish descent. The interview also addresses the decline of Tremont due to industrial changes and suburban migration, as well as Gish's education, military service in World War II, and career. Gish concludes with insights on the neighborhood's revitalization and evolving community dynamics.
