Oral history interview with Gwen Dooley, [electronic resource] / interviewed by Timothy W. Plass and filmed by Leland Rucker, 2009. 2009.

Gwen Dooley looks back on decades of community and governmental service to Boulder, beginning in the 1970s and continuing to this day: as a neighborhood activist, city council member, member of both the Open Space and Parks and Recs boards, and PLAN-Boulder County member and chairperson. She discusses some of the important and colorful issues that Boulder has dealt with during that time, ranging from the serious - development and environmental issues - to the offbeat - how the city dealt with nude bathing at Coot Lake. She also talks about good government practices, political campaigning, and offers recollections of Boulder during the late 1950s and 1960s.
