Denise Crumble has lived in Riverwest for thirty-two years, and she is not someone who drifts through life taking events as they come.  Her decision to move to Riverwest in 1979 was a characteristically considered one, with the aim of living in concert with closely-held principles while meeting her needs as a single mother.  She was a student at UWM majoring in secondary education, raising her daughter Fatima, and pregnant with her son Bakeer when she moved into a building at Booth and Burleigh.
