"Country Bobby" Lowry is the guardian of Walter Pierce Community Park in Washington, D.C. He's been keeping an eye on the park for almost three decades and knows more about it than any city official. He knows the trees, the plants and the kids. In the first of four stories about the park, Katie Davis introduces us to this transplanted farm boy who never takes short cuts in his work.
