SUZANNE FOGARTY HEAD OF SCHOOL
his past year, under the leadership of Interim Head Ann Sullivan, I have watched from afar how Lincoln grew and thrived by developing a new partnership with the Steel Yard, by undertaking fundraising for Lincoln’s Global Education Programs and, of course, the terrifically successful Evening at the Farm Benefit in May.
T
I am thrilled to finally be here, moved into Dwight House, fully installed in my new office at 301 Butler Avenue and jumping right into this exciting new year. In the past 16 months, I have had the chance to meet many alumnae who have great pride in their school. Their support and investment in Lincoln’s future is palpable and inspiring. The alumnae have also grounded me in the strong and important balance between tradition and innovation. Lincoln’s rich history since 1884 secures its importance as a highly respected institution in Rhode Island and as the only all girls Quaker School in the country! If you want to learn more about why this school is such a powerhouse, read Senior Jamie Pine’s (’15) interview with Meredith Vieira (’71) about her new tv show or Elizabeth Ames’s (’75) reflections on living and working in Ukraine from 1992 to 1996.
In this issue, you will also find student articles focused on their STEAM experiences: four 9th graders participated in the Artemis Program on computer science at Brown, two 10th graders were part of SPIRA, Brown’s summer engineering program, and finally, two 12th graders had the unique opportunity to visit Dr. Monje’s lab at Stanford University to learn more about the essential research being done on pediatric cancers.
And stay tuned! We will continue to update you on our newly developed partnerships with Girls Who Code, RISD’s Department of Architecture, our Upper School Program to India and our 8th grade Program to the United Nations. None of these opportunities would be available to Lincoln students if it were not for the important and generous support of the alumnae, parents, trustees, foundation, donors and of course our wonderful faculty and staff.
What better goal is there but to invest in the confidence, leadership and resilience of girls and young women?
I look forward to our continued partnership in taking Lincoln into its next era of excellent education.

A Conversation with Meredith Vieira ’71 On July 17, 2014, Lincoln alumna, Meredith Vieira ’71, spoke with senior Jamie Pine ’15, about her new show, The Meredith Vieira Show, that premiered on September 8, 2014. She also shared her Lincoln experience and offered advice for Lincoln students and young women today. Thanks Meredith and Jamie!
If you had one piece of advice for current Lincoln girls, what would it be?
Soak up every moment and appreciate your time at Lincoln. It is a very special place. Embrace the values of a Quaker education, and have a good time. While at Lincoln, you are laying the foundation for a successful future. Work hard, but enjoy yourself because it is probably the most significant time of your life.
What excites you most about launching The Meredith Vieira Show?
Reconnecting with an audience. When I was at Today, people would come up to me all the time to thank me, not because I was a “celebrity,” but because I was a mom, working woman, or girlfriend. I can help people through these connections. This is the real power of television. It is very humbling and meant a great deal to me. I am excited to have that back in my life.
What are you most nervous about your new show?
It is both the fear of failure and the fear of success. My name is attached to the show so people will be tuning in or out because of me. I have an incredibly talented team that has great faith in this broadcast. I have an obligation to them and their livelihood to make it a success.
How did your Lincoln education prepare you for your career?
Lincoln instilled in me a true love of learning and taught me to have an unending sense of curiosity. Lincoln also gave me a tremendous work ethic.
In what parts of your job, if any, do you recognize the benefits of your Lincoln education?
More than anything else, Lincoln taught me to write a clear, concise sentence. When I was starting out, this was the skill that set me apart. Most people don’t learn how to write and I learned this at a very young age at Lincoln.
What advice would you give young women who want to have a successful career balanced with having a family?
In what other parts of your life do you see the benefits of your Lincoln experience?
I started at Lincoln when I was three years old. I have three brothers, so my classmates became my sisters. I remember graduation day, crying in my bedroom, listening to Carole King’s You’ve Got a Friend on my record-player. I thought I would never see my friends again. But my closest friends are from Lincoln; we have a bond like no other. Our connections are deep. If you nurture friendships, they will get stronger. What is your favorite Lincoln memory?
In Nursery School, there was a faded red shack in the playground. Our teachers gave us a bucket of “magic paint” which was actually water. I remember the magical feeling when I made the shed bright red with this “magic paint.” This taught me that anything is possible. You can create magic in your life. Having that power meant a great deal to me. As I grew up, I came to appreciate that this power comes from learning.
I am not a big believer in having it all. Life is a juggling act, and your priorities will change over time. Make sure that you self-evaluate and don’t be afraid to veer off the path and embrace change. When I was younger, success meant being a correspondent on 60 Minutes, but I wanted to raise my family and I could not do both. I went in a different direction and all these decisions and experiences led me to where I am today. It is OK to take the road less traveled. Did you enjoy hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
I loved it! It was so much fun. I am a tremendous fan of game shows. When I started, the country was going through some hard times. Many contestants were trying to make money to pay their mortgages, college bills or other real life needs. We were helping people and changing their lives in positive ways. In the end, I could not have asked for a better job. It is also funny because people assume that I have this tremendous grasp of trivia, but I don’t retain anything. I would be terrible at playing Millionaire! A question many Lincoln girls will want to know - do you still have your kilt?
I don’t have it! But I have one funny kilt memory to share. When I was a senior, we had just started taking some classes at Moses Brown, which was an all-boys school at the time. We would do two things before class: we would put on lip gloss and roll up our kilts. Fall 2014

What was your experience of being in a co-ed classroom?
We were so much smarter than the boys at Moses Brown, but when we were in the classes with them, we changed. We became quiet, did not participate and dumbed ourselves down. I am a big proponent of single-sex education for girls. At Lincoln, we asked lots of questions. We were assertive; it was empowering to be in an all-girls school.
How did being in a Quaker School impact you?
I am not a religious person but Silent Meeting was so powerful for me. When I was at Lincoln, we lost a couple of students. I will never forget the strong sense of community and spirituality that we had in these Meetings. Being in a Quaker School gave me rock solid values that have stayed with me my whole life. I also love Lincoln’s motto: Love Loyalty and Lowliness. These values are so important. As students, we were challenged by the notion of lowliness, but it taught us that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves. Of course, Athena’s helmet speaks to

the value of leadership so they work very well together. What was your favorite interview?
Many years ago, I did a piece for CBS Evening News on Hunger in America. I met Anthony, a 7-year old boy from the Southside of Chicago, who haunted me. He had a very hard life, but he was a fighter and had such resilience. It was clear that he wanted to be somebody. I gave him my phone number and told him to call me collect if he ever needed anything. He would call every day and became a part of our family for a long time. He graduated high school and worked for the City of Chicago. He taught me so much about resilience and dignity.
In the September 15 issue of People Magazine, Meredith Vieira ’71, who attended Lincoln School from the age of 2, cites the transformative impact of her Lincoln education. The article entitled “Five Choices that Changed My Life” begins with Lincoln!
Is there anyone in particular you would like to have on The Meredith Vieira Show?
There are so many people who I don’t know. Discovering their stories and sharing them excites me most of all. For example, a remarkable young woman, Rebecca Alexander, will be on the Show. She has Usher’s Syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease that will leave her blind and deaf. She has written a book, Not Fade Away, and I cannot wait to share her story. I am most interested in highlighting people who, in their own quiet ways, are carving out a path in the world that is significant and making a difference. Of course, if George Clooney were to show up, I would be happy to interview him, too!

Stanford Pediatric Nanocourse by Samantha Chu ’15 and Adelae Durand ’15 espite enduring the pain of losing a child to cancer, the
D
parents and community advocates we were fortunate
enough to meet at the Stanford Pediatric Cancer Nanocourse
have used their experiences and knowledge in a positive way to fuel re-
search and fundraising efforts. One of the families active in the pediatric cancer advocate community is the Mackintosh family, who gave us the opportunity to travel with them to Stanford this summer. This August,
we attended the third Nanocourse, this year hosted by Dr. Michelle
Monje at Stanford University. The Nanocourse consisted of lectures
from researchers, oncologists, and other experts in the field, tours of the hospital and lab facilities, and opportunities to sit in on grand
rounds. The attendees of the Nanocourse mostly fell into two cate-
gories: parents who lost a child and have been motivated by their grief to
devote energy and time to finding a cure for their child’s disease, and
students who were invited to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Research science takes a community; no one person is responsible when there is a successful breakthrough in research and medicine. Medical re-
search is a broadly collaborative effort, involving researchers, doctors,
patients, families, and the greater community. Running a lab takes com-
mitment to finding better treatments that can be brought to children in
the clinic, and ultimately a universal cure. While Dr. Monje’s lab primarily focuses on DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a rare, fatal
pediatric tumor on the pons of the brainstem, her work greatly impacts other communities, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and
autism. Since DIPG is such a deadly and aggressive cancer, better
understanding this disease will help researchers understand cancer as a
whole. As Dr. Monje and her team work towards a cure, they have suc-
cessfully cultured multiple cell lines of DIPG and glioma tumors that she has shared with colleagues around the world. Her desire to help actual
families is evident in her everyday work. The Stanford Medical community has a wonderful sense of cooperation, openness, and an interdisciplinary view the researchers display in all their endeavors. Dr. Monje’s study of
normal brain development and the mutations that occur in cancer patients has become invaluable information to the neuroscience community.
Dr. Monje takes the basic research done in her lab and collaborates with
Jennifer Cochran’s lab in the Stanford Bioengineering Department. With
a platform of knowledge and better understanding of how cancer develops, and could potentially be targeted, Jennifer’s lab engineers techniques to specifically target cancerous cells in the tumors. The brain
cancer community is constantly searching for ways to enhance drug de-

research is based in a rare pediatric brain tumor, and many do not see
the need to support this specialized work, it has wide applications and
she foresees many advances in overall cancer research in the near future. We both were inspired by the passion and dedication of the scientists
who have committed their lives to the pursuit of a cure for currently in-
curable diseases. It was eye-opening to learn how little research is being dedicated to pediatric cancer; because there are few patients, the finan-
cial initiative is not there, which unfortunately is the motivation for most pharmaceutical companies to invest in this area. The small number of diagnoses does not lessen their impacts, and even rare cancers might
not be as rare as they seem; we realized that even if only 300-400 children are diagnosed with a disease every year, that is still about one
child every day. This experience affirmed our desire to study science
in a research setting, and also reminded us that this work will benefit real families like the ones we were lucky enough to meet.

The Artemis Project at Brown University
by Julia Meyersiek ’18, Hannah Glucksman ’18, Iman Izoli ’18 & Lynn Villarica ’18 “Is it difficult making a website in all it’s glory?” we asked ourselves, “Is making a computer game excruciating, and would it take too much time and effort?” In the beginning, none of us knew much about computer science, but we took a step into the darkness and came out loving it! We’re extremely glad that we did the Artemis Project, because we are only four of a few young women who have had exposure to computer science at our age.
The Artemis Project at Brown University enabled us to learn Scratch, Python, HTML, and CSS. Scratch presented us with the core concepts of all programming languages. Scratch wasn’t difficult, but was useful because we applied the concepts from Scratch to the other languages we learned later in the program. Python was a challenge because we had to learn how to discipline ourselves with it’s syntax. One wrong key pressed and poof! We had to debug our code. But nothing
A Summer at SPIRA
One of the best things about going to an all-girls school is that girls are always the leaders in every activity, from a science project to the soccer team. Lincoln emphasizes both gender equality in all fields and the phenomenal power of girls. Unfortunately, the real world still has to learn this lesson, especially the world of STEM (did you know that on average, women only hold about 22% of leadership positions at the top 8 technology companies in the country?)* Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians are trailblazers for the future. If girls are underrepresented in these fields, then we are ignoring an extremely important perspective for shaping the future, and that needs to change. This summer, we attended the SPIRA Engineering camp for girls at Brown University, where we not only learned all about different types of engineering, but about the importance of STEM for young women. But for us, it didn’t take a statistic or a radical statement to realize how serious this situation truly is- we experienced it. On the first day of SPIRA, the twelve of us piled into the elevator of the engineering building at Brown with our coordinator Briana, chatting excitedly about all the amazing things we were going to build. But we weren’t alone. A graduate student stood in the corner, looking very confused by our
was impossible, and we fixed the issues in a jiffy. Overall, it was rewarding to put to use hours of class time into our first game, Tic-Tac-Toe. When we looked at all the lines of code and when the program ran successfully, it gave us a good feeling inside! Some of us had even more fun tweaking the code to make Connect 4!
Then when we learned HTML and CSS, it was great! We were interested from the get-go when the coordinators said we were going to make websites. We wondered how websites were formatted and how they related to each other because we see websites all the time. It was satisfying to develop our own websites, because we finally know how websites like Google are made. Looking back, the experience was very charismatic and useful. We recommend everyone learn programming!
by Jasmine Hyppolite ’17 and Surabhi Iyer ’17 presence. He seemed very afraid of us as the elevator shot up and we continued talking. As soon as we reached the fifth floor, he shuffled out, leaving a prolonged silence. One of the campers broke it by asking Briana “Are all guys that awkward here?” She replied, “They don’t see a lot of girls around this building”.
With that initial minor hiccup aside, we got right into the program! Over the next four weeks, we learned all about engineering, from how to build cardboard furniture and miniature racecars to the basics of computer science and coding. At SPIRA, we learned that engineering is much more than pop culture would have you believe. Engineering is an art in that you are trying to build beautiful yet functional products, a science, and a way to give back to the community by making people’s daily lives much easier. As Lincoln girls, we already knew the importance of teamwork, using our creativity, and questioning the world around us, but our hands-on, inquiry-based experience at SPIRA took those ideals even further. We entered this program as two incoming sophomores with an interest in math and science and left ready to take on the world as engineers. Imagine the power of girls everywhere getting to benefit from these experiences!

ATHLETICS The 2014 Lincoln Crew season was both a rebuilding year, as the team needed to replace six graduating seniors from the previous season including its entire 1st boat lineup. It was also a year in which the team was hoping to build off of its historic sixth place finish at the NEIRA championships in the 2nd varsity boat category from the year before. Highlights of the year included victories over Southfield School, Worcester Academy, and Medford High as well as a close second place finish to historical power BB&N midway through the season. At the NEIRA championships the varsity finished 15th overall (out of 34 teams in the NEIRA league) —which is a tie for the second best finish in school history. With three out of the four rowers from this year's varsity four, as well as the entire second varsity boat returning next season and with a host of promising young rowers moving up the ranks, 2015 looks to be an even more promising season for Lincoln varsity crew. See page 51 for news about Lincoln’s new rowing shell.

his summer John Minahan attended the 10th annual Clark/APA Work-
T
shop. This is the American Psychological Association's flagship program for high school Psychology teachers. Twenty five participants
selected from a nationwide pool of applicants come together at Clark University for three days of cutting edge scholarship, innovative classroom activities, and
professional networking. John followed this up with a seminar at Yale Medical School devoted to Positive Psychology, a new area of research
with wide-ranging implications for teaching and learning in all high school subjects. He also attended the APA Convention in Washington, DC, and is now working on creating an association for Psychology teachers in Rhode Island.
Finally, John spent a week at Bridgewater State University for an AP English conference sponsored by Mass Insight, part of a nationwide initiative to improve student performance and increase student access to higher education. This workshop focused on areas such as rhetorical analysis and media literacy in order to help students in two areas: developing the reading, writing, and speaking skills they'll need in today's college classrooms; and becoming more effective participants in modern society.

Giovonne Calenda traveled to New Mexico to attend the
Tenth North American Reggio
Emilia Alliance Summer Con-
ference Promoting the Rights of Children: Community Par-
ticipation and Dialogue. This
international conference provided the forum for over 450 educators from diverse con-
texts to join together in Albuquerque in celebration of the
ongoing, shared inspiration from the municipal infant-toddler cen-
ters and pre-schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. A highlight of the conference was the opening of the traveling exhibition, The Wonder

the opportunity to attend a variety of provocative lectures, engage in atelier experiences with Native American artists, make connections in affinity groups and take guided virtual tours of Reggio-in-
spired schools in New Mexico. Giovonne experienced the beauty
of the Southwestern landscape by visiting the ABQ Botanic Garden in Albuquerque and on a train trip to Santa Fe. Her adventure to
New Mexico also included time in numerous museums where she
was immersed in the Native American culture and was fortunate to
see exhibitions of the artists Georgia O’Keeffe, Ansel Adams and
Christo. Giovonne is extremely excited to bring her summer experience to life during this coming school year in the Early Childhood Studio and in the Edible Garden.

This September, grades K-5 launches Math in Focus, the American-
ized version of Singapore Math. Math in Focus is designed around
the Singapore Ministry of Education’s pentagon that emphasizes
conceptual understanding, skill development, strategies for solv-
ing problems, attitudes towards math, and metacognition. Fol-
lowing extensive research, the faculty fully agreed that the
framework of this program is a perfect match for the developing
mathematical minds of our Lower School students and future
leaders in S.T.E.A.M. professions.
To prepare the faculty for the full implementation of Math in
Focus: Singapore Math, the Lower School faculty attended pro-
fessional development workshops throughout the previous
school year and during the summer. Workshops were expertly
conducted by Kevin Mahoney, the math coordinator at Tenacre
Country Day School in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Early this fall,
Kevin Mahoney will conduct a parent information session and
continue to support the faculty with the transition to Singapore
Math with additional workshops throughout the school year.
The primary goal of Math in Focus is to enable students to be-
come strategic mathematical problem solvers and persevere in
solving problems. During the workshop, the faculty participated
in hands-on activities that emphasized the use of model drawings
to connect the concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract development of
concepts. The Lower School has a wealth of new math manipula-
tives and online resources to enhance the instruction of the Math
in Focus curriculum.

This summer Courtney Dubois, Lower School Learning Skills Specialist, Meagan Lenihan, Lower School Librarian, Dave Mercante, Upper School History, Gigi Walker, Middle and Upper School English and Katy Wood, Middle School Science, took an online professional learning class through the Online School for Girls.
The class, Introduction to Blended Learning, provided multiple opportunities to learn about the concept,
pedagogy, and good practice of successful blended courses. As participants, they engaged in several online
activities, and spent time exploring current research and theories to answer the questions: What is blended learning and why is it so powerful with this generation of learners? What are design considerations for con-
structing a blended course? How does a blended learning approach change what my class does and looks like
when face-to-face? What are the principles of effective blended learning? What are the tools needed for facilitating effective blended learning? In addition, they connected and collaborated with lower, middle and upper school
teachers from across the country through a variety of online activities. This group is excited to continue to explore
blended learning this school year with the learning community established through the Online School for Girls and with the Lincoln
community. They feel privileged to have been afforded this opportunity for professional growth and thank Lincoln for their financial backing.

When we were discussing who we would like to have as a graduation speaker we took into account the various personalities of our class; someone who embodied the Lincoln students that we are: Bright, strong-willed, opinionated, passionate, and caring, with the will to change the world. It was perhaps one of the hardest tasks we were faced this school year. Finding a single person whose life goal was to help others all the while embodying those traits seemed impossible. We were able to find speakers who embodied those traits in fraction but we were not satisfied. The class of 2014 needed someone that could connect, teach and inspire each and everyone of us. On the afternoon of November 21st we found this person. When Joan Countryman spoke at our assembly she told her life story, her accomplishments, and her goals. As the class of 2014 filed back into the lounge after her assembly, a silence washed over us that has never before been heard coming from our lounge. We were in deep thought. Mrs. Countryman had managed to evoke various thoughts and inspiring words that touched each of our hearts and spoke to who we are and who we hope to be. The vote was unanimous and when she accepted we could not have been more excited to have her with us in June. Joan Cannady Countryman grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Germantown Friends School, a member of the Class of 1958 and the first African American graduate of the school. She went on to earn degrees
from Sarah Lawrence College and Yale University and to study as a Fulbright Scholar at the London School of Economics. After two years with the School District of Philadelphia and a year in the Dean of Students office at the University of Pennsylvania she returned to Germantown Friends to teach mathematics and later served as director of studies and assistant head of school.
In 1993 she became Head of Lincoln and served here until her retirement, in 2005. A year later she was invited to South Africa to assist Oprah Winfrey with the opening of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2007 and to serve as Founding Head of School. She then went to Atlanta, GA to the Atlanta Girls’ School to serve as Interim Head. Ms Countryman is an honorary member of the Board of Trustees of Sarah Lawrence College, a member of the Board of Overseers of Bard College of Simon’s Rock, the Board of Xavier High School in Manhattan, the School Committee of Germantown Friends School, and the board of Rhode Island Public Radio.
She has received honorary degrees from Bowdoin College, Moore College of Art, Roger Williams University, and Sarah Lawrence College. She and her husband, Edward, a retired architect and Principal Emeritus with Ballinger Associates, live in Rhode Island and in Philadelphia at Friends Center City Riverfront. They have two children and four grandchildren. Please join me in welcoming Joan Countryman to the podium.

Charles Cofone Lincoln School 1985-2014 “Of all the incredible teachers I was lucky enough to learn from in my time at Lincoln, Mr. Cofone was one of the few who made the biggest and most lasting impressions, and I often use many of the skills he helped us cultivate. Thank you so much for all you taught me, Mr. Cofone, and I wish you the best in your next endeavors!” - an alumna Charles was a good friend and loyal colleague. He brought intelligence, integrity, compassion, and commitment through the door every day he was at Lincoln School. - Julia Eells

Helen Kenoyer Mosher ’32 and family
Helen Stilson Hardin aka This old lady: As I approached 100 years old on May 2, 2014, all kinds of celebrations began to spring up. They are now halfway through!! So far, there have been two luncheons, a Victorian high tea, with a dozen attendees all appropriately decked out in inherited or borrowed finery, including my SON in my FATHER's high hat; and a five hour party extravaganza, three or four months in the secret planning, by eight people from various parts of my life, including both family members and friends. 130 people came from over a dozen states and THREE different countries! Some of us had not seen each other for decades. The activities were too numerous to describe. A kind of theme song had been created (with t-shirts and a central picture) - "I love this old lady, and this old lady loves me". Still ahead, in June, to accommodate great grand children who are still in school in May, will be a week-long family reunion for 19 of us in Southern France, at a favorite place where my Swiss granddaughter's family likes to go. And to culminate it all, will be a small luncheon in Switzerland, near my granddaughter's home, for some family and very special friends, who are Swiss and German. Whew!! That I should have lived so long!! With love to anyone who knows me! Helen Kenoyer Mosher received China’s
Boston Post Cane. She is the town’s oldest resident at 98 years old and was presented with the cane and a certificate at the March 24 selectmen’s meeting. In attendance where Helen’s daughter, two sons and two daughter-in-law, as well a few grandchildren and one great-grandson. She has lived in China, ME since 1967.

I am writing to report on the passing of my mother, Barbara Bullock Klatt on 3/21/14 at the Fall River Jewish Home. She had just cele-
brated her 91st birthday on 3/10/14 and died almost two weeks later on the first full day of spring. She lived independently in her own home in Swansea, MA until her health failed in the fall of 2013. My mother cherished her years at Lincoln School and appreciated the inspiration and guidance that she received there. Over the years she shared many anecdotes and lessons learned at Lincoln School with her six children. She maintained contact with several of her Lincoln classmates including her lifelong friend, Mary Medberry ’41. A memorial service was held at The First Christian Congregational Church on March 27, 2014 attended by her friends and family. The hymn “Simple Gifts” was a part of the service and some of her artwork was on display. In addition to her children, Barbara left 11 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Sincerely, Cyndy Moniz

We have six children, many of whom live in N.H. Our daughter, Deborah Ohler Hinman, boarded at the Lincoln and graduated in 1966. I am living in our house of 60+ years- a little big for one old lady, but I love it. New London is a very active and interesting town and I am fairly busy.
Grace Pierce Shaw: The last bulletin I was
the only one to write from my class. Sad! I have wonderful memories of being a boarder for five years 1937-1942. The closeness of the girls (about 28) and faculty was remarkable. At 90 I’m still active and keep busy.

Natalie Joslin: Am enjoying my days at Laurelmead! Playing a lot of bridge but unable to learn very much due to dementia. My daughter, Holly, lives in Laguna Niguel, CA and is still working. Daughter Jennifer’s two kids are in college and she is still riding her two horses. Lauren lives in Westport, Ma. All in all, not too bad for an 88 year old. Still keep my “oar” in at Common Cause.
Phyllis Hoge (Thompson): After connecting with my Hawaiian family and watching my elder grandson graduate from Caltech in Pomona, I attended a lunch hosted by Polly Amrein ’44 in the glorious penthouse of her retirement community in Oakland. She and I and two other graduates of Connecticut College enjoyed a fascinating conversation about things that matter, joined by two men hers and mine, and Maxine Hong Kingston who illustrated every poem in my last book, the domestically centered “Hello, House”, from which Garrison Keillor on his program read the poem about cleaning the bathroom. I’ve been told that poem is “Very Quakerly” which shouldn’t surprise me or other Quakers since Albuquerque Meeting is where I spend much of my so -called free time. I’m still writing, can’t stop, but I’m also trying to get rid of stuff before I die, a very hard job, as anyone knows who has lived to this advance age. But I’m active-this week I started painting my house again. I still reckon 1993-4 one of the happiest years of my long life. 21

What is lovely for Dede is that her California grandson is coming east to college. He will be at Hobart this fall. Granted, it is on Lake Geneva, which is not so near, but he will come for Thanksgiving. Also, he will be on the sailing team, so I can give him a hug when he competes with U.R.I. and Roger Williams colleges. Her son, John, is now Dean of Admissions at the Putney School in Putney, Vt. and his wife is head of faculty. They are really busy but seem to be enjoying all the challenges these jobs present.

Our grandsons are 8, 7, 6 and 5 so you can imagine how active our first week was! Our second week was far less hectic but fun, with beach and baseball activities with Ann's boys.

We had a fun 3 days together and took several day trips in the country with her daughter and daughter-in-law. Other than that we are enjoying our rather boring and routine life with some time each day to either play golf or go to yoga or Pilates classes.
Barbara Benson O'Connor: My news - I really did enjoy our 60th. After looking at everyone and at first not quite sure who it is, it seems that the longer you're with our classmates they seem to start looking more and more like they did at school. Weird. Not much has changed with me, still working part time at Planters Choice (check us out at www.planterschoice.com); still active in Garden Club and politics, still on Town Committee, and still on Newtown's Zoning Board of Appeals. The town is still dealing with the massacre of 12/14, seems like there is something every week in our local paper. There's some squabbling about what kind of a permanent memorial to have, still having fund raisers for various projects. We will never forget this horrible tragedy, but I feel it's time to move on. My two daughters who were treated for breast cancer 3 years ago are so far still cancer free. We keep our fingers crossed. I have two great grandsons now, Daniel (named after my father) will be 4 in September and Benjamin is 9 months. My youngest granddaughter is in Iceland right now (8/13/14) with her Viking group to re-enact and film some famous battle they had. She's an interesting young woman (check out www.wechterarms.com). I went on a Tauck river cruise on the Rhine and Moselle in July with 3 other friends that I travel with. Lovely -

good weather, good food, good wine, beautiful scenery, interesting history - I don't know how they can grow those grapevines on slopes that are almost at a 90 degree angle. Travelers say Tauck is expensive but the trip includes everything and I mean everything. You don't have to spend an extra penny if you don't want to. Regards to all Lincolnites
Lee Newth Roberts: This past year of 2013 has
been an eventful one as I thoroughly enjoyed our 60th Class Reunion in October during Lincoln’s Alumnae Weekend. It was just great to celebrate with classmates at this meaningful Class of 1953 occasion. September 2013 marked my husband, Rod’s 80th birthday which we celebrated during Christmas vacation in Killington, Vermont with our family. It was most special being together as these opportunities at the age of our grandkids don’t occur as frequently as when they were all little guys. In the fall we also had a chance to visit two of our grandsons in college, one in engineering at The Colorado School of Mines and the other at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The third grandkid, one of our two granddaughters, is nearby at Tufts University in Massachusetts, so we have more opportunity to be with her. This past May into June 2014, Rod and I sailed on the brand new Nova Star Cruise Ship from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth in Nova Scotia. Such a wonderful trip touring by car along the coastal fishing towns, learning a bit of interesting history and spending time in Halifax. Now, I am looking forward to seeing you all in October for Lincoln Alumnae Weekend on October 24. Until then... Lee Roberts lnr4@comcast.net
Ina Dwares Wasserman: Bernie and I spend
six months of the year in Florida. While I am there, I enjoy taking classes at Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter, playing Canasta once or twice a week and being with family and friends. This summer, we were in Colorado for ten days and Martha's Vineyard for a few days visiting our grandchildren. We have seven grandchildren--an artist and adjunct professor of a graduate seminar of Art History at Cal State Long Beach, a lawyer who works for a real estate investment services firm in Miami, an entrepreneur in Snowmass, Colorado, a second year medical student at Brown and last but not least, three who are seven, five and three who reside in New York. I am looking forward to joining my classmates to honor Edie when she receives the 2014 Distinguished Service Award.
Edith Grossman Pearlman will receive the
Distinguished Service Award from the Alumnae Association on October 24th.

Class Scribe: Dorothy Bird Price 570 Mast Road Plymouth, MA 02360-7703 Email: dorothybprice@yahoo.com Betsy Arnold: This spring and summer has
been a cell phone and horse experience. I lost to colic, my best and most beloved mare. Extremely painful! Cell phones are great if you know how to use them and get yourself out of computer problems. I have been lucky to have a college senior teach me after she has finished cleaning the barn out. I encourage more people to realize how neat it is to have a neighbor who wants to earn money. My student- teacher is very patient and lives just right across the street.
Peggy Paxton Blobel: Our news is thankfully
good. Hans and I keep fit skiing in Lech am Arlberg in Austria every January. We walk a lot and swim especially here in Quonochontaug, R.I. and keep up on current events where ever we are. Here we get the New York Times all summer and the rest of the year we read The Frankfurter Zeitung, a world coverage newspaper which reports on the US too, but the New York Times gives an insight into how this country has changed since we went to Lincoln. Imagine planning a cable car system down into Grand Canyon that 4000 people can go down a day. Remember the song, Everything's up to date in Kansas City — they have gone about as far as they can go, they went and built a SKYSCRAPER seven stories high, that's about as high as a building ought to go! So there we are talking about the good old days! And I hope that cable car line is never built. But that is the least of my wishes—peace for the future. My grandson will enter his junior year at Cornell, Ithaca. He has spent time with us in Quonnie every summer since he was 6 months old, so that makes now 20 years. I will have been living in Giessen, Germany, fifty years as of November 2015!
Marilyn Broden Kenyon: I have no personal
news to report, just musing now.......Again and again through the years, I've been surprised to make unexpected contact with Lincoln "girls" that I'd never met before. Lincoln is a glue that permits immediate bonding. For such a small school, it has a very wide reach.....a stranger met in a business meeting, in an airport, on a plane, at a spa, and on and on.....so many fine memories lingering.

This September will mark our tenth annual week-long bicycle trip in Europe with others from our local weekly biking group. We'll stay on a motor sailor on the Adriatic and bicycle in Croatia on the Istria Peninsula. Last year we biked in the Lorraine region of France and nearby Luxembourg and Germany, a lovely area and especially worth reflecting on in light of the two World Wars. While already in Europe we try to fit in additional touring. Last year's focus was on Barcelona, and this year it will be Madrid and Toledo. All good for the mind and spirit!

Sandy Scott: The only news I have is that Nancy Garden ’56 died on June 23. We were together for about 45 years and married for 10 (as soon as Mass allowed).
I, Dorothy, your scribe, add that the lengthy, featured obituary for Nancy (author, Lincoln ’56) can be found in the Boston Globe, July 15.
Carol Smith: After retiring and moving back
to Providence, the activity that has held the most interest for me is the Lifelong Learning Collaborative (LLC) that was started several decades ago on the Brown campus as the Brown Community for Learning in Retirement (BCLIR). It is now an independent organization with several hundred members.
The classes make use of the graduate seminar model with class members participating in the learning experience. Courses cover a wide range of interests - from theater to ancient history, Victorian literature to contemporary art,
For those who are not in the Providence area, Lifelong Learning Institutes are popping up in many, many cities - often on college campuses. They are open to all; classes are usually held during the daytime hours - much appreciated by us Seniors. Many people in our age group find them refreshingly lively. I certainly do!
Nancy Garden passed away on June 23 at her home in Carlisle, MA at the age of 76, with lifelong partner, Sandy Scott. Nancy and Sandy were married in 2004 when same-sex marriage was legalized in their home state of Massachusetts. Nancy was the author of “Annie on My Mind”, as well as over thirty other books for young people and has won many awards for her work. She contributed to the struggle of gay rights through her writing. Nancy attended the School of Dramatic Arts at Columbia University. She and Sandy divided their time between Carlisle, MA and coastal Maine.

Jane Arcaro Scola also had a special celebration day. Nearly sound asleep on the night of her 75th birthday, the phone rang. Groggily, Jane answered. Son Jamie, who lives in Seattle, was on the other end. Thinking that Jamie had forgotten the time difference, Jane inquired if everything was ok. "Well", said Jamie, "everything is ok but I can't get in. I am at the back door". What a very special surprise. Jamie had told no one of this visit. Jane had lunch recently with Gail Avakian van der Feltz (visiting from Holland) and her sister Arlene. They went to Red Stripe in Wayland Square and had a great time catching up.
Betsy spoke with Pat Henshaw Stewart recently. Pat reported a long and cold winter in NH with a respite trip to NC in March. Pat's youngest, Lisa and Lisa's five year old daughter Grace, visited Pat and Charlie earlier in the summer. Daughter Tracey is coaching/training a future Olympic diver.

Son, Noel II-53, and I (both only children) are on our path forward supported by wonderful extended family and friends with whom we enjoyed various holidays during past winter/spring. Thank you to Jane Arcaro Scola for her kind expression of sympathy and also to Betsy Horton Ingraham for her thoughtful early spring note sharing understanding my experience.

I hope everyone enjoyed a glorious summer. We have several topics running through our news this time: travel to far and exotic places, new home moves, 50th college reunions (ah yes, we are that old), remarkable elderly Moms, knee replacements, grandchildren and, yes, a great-grandmother in our class!
I will begin with Mimi Fish Alperin who has 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 9 to 19. The oldest is starting at Kenyon, and the two youngest will be living in Madrid for the year as their father has a sabbatical. I am sure they will come back speaking Spanish! Mimi and her husband have spent the summer at their home in northern Westchester spending lots of time with family. They traveled a lot last winterHawaii, Thailand, Myanmar, Iceland, and will probably spend a lot of time in Spain this year. Maybe we will meet in October when Jeremy and I will be in Madrid. Mimi says they are grateful to be healthy and enjoy family, travel, and doing some work for nonprofits. She had a partial knee replacement in March which means she can get back to hiking, kayaking and just walking without pain. Then went to her 50th reunion from Wellesley which was a lot of fun, including rubbing elbows with Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright, also reunioning! She sent a picture of her marching.
Ruth Kiven Arellana sends a spot of news
from Rhode Island. As is her want, travel is in the wind. This summer she left with her oldest granddaughter for a trip to the Bay of Fundy for explorations, whale watching, and some

birding. Lydia is 11 now, Adelaide is 8 (both Kate's girls), and Liza (Peter's daughter) is 5 and a half. Then in late September she will set off for Tunisia for 3 weeks where her young cousin is working for a year. She topped off that trip with a week in Istanbul. Ruth says that part of the fun of planning the trip is having to resurrect her 50 year old French, which she never spoke, to spoken French. Had she refused this request, her cousin said not to bother to come. Quite a motivating factor and some good brain exercise. Knowing Ruth, she is now speaking French! Susan Hallan Ballou writes that she and her husband Sonny have 8 grandchildren and her oldest granddaughter has one daughter, Melody Rose, so Susan is a great grandmother (see photo)! Yikes…can we be that old! She and Sonny are retired, although she still plays the organ at their Lutheran church. Her granddaughter Samantha landed a part in a Cabaret at the Newport Playhouse this summer. Pretty exciting, and I guess the music and singing gene has been passed on. We all remember Sue’s father, Mr Hallan,so well. Susan quips: “I can still remember you, Ginny and I going to coffee houses near Brown. Great fun!” Hey Ginny, did we do that??? Hmmm. At least it was coffee houses and not bars!
Jennifer Goff Blumenthal was busy traveling
this past spring to New Zealand, St. John and Puerto Rico. She says that New Zealand was fabulous, St. John was as lovely as usual (but their group was TOO big), and the trip to Puerto Rico was plagued with problems, in retrospect rather amusing, but at the time very infuriating. (No painful details were shared.) Fortunately for that last trip Ralph and she were not responsible leaders, just paying participants, so they could just stand by and watch, and probably wring their hands. More enjoyably, during the last week of June, the family went to Twin Lakes Village at Little Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire and had a great time at the beach and boating. Jenni goes on to report that granddaughter
Charlotte Hayes, Janie Jones, and Martha Curit Hough ’60 Linnaea, 8, went to sleep away camp for the first time. This gave Mommie, Lexi, time to attempt a 54 mile, crossing of the White Mts from Carter Notch AMC hut to Lonesome Lake Hut; she and a friend only made it 39 miles and 12,500 up feet. “Phew,” says Jenni. “Something I could never do, or want to do.” Ditto, I say. Jenni ends her news thus: “Now off to do more deck scrubbing.” That girl loves to travel and clean!
Karen Anderson Chalfen and Dick visited her
son and his family in Cape Town again in February. In addition to the delight of spending time with the family, a highlight of the trip—for her, at least, was a Springsteen concert in a small venue, which was a thoughtful Christmas gift from her son! As a Boss fan, I am definitely jealous! Karen didn't do too much tourism this year, because she was still suffering a lot of knee pain. But no more, says she “I had total knee replacement on May 6, and with the benefit of 3 2-hour rehab sessions a week, I'm back to walking the beaches of Cape Cod—no pain this year.” She and Mimi can talk knee operations. And THIS summer both of her granddaughters visited at the same time—Calliope from Cape Town and Nathalie from Austin, TX. What joy for her! She sent a picture of them at Nathalie's 3rd birthday party. Karen also added a new grandson on Easter Sunday. I guess the Easter Bunny delivered Theodore Baron Donner—the baby brother of Calliope—in Cape Town. She will see him when he is 6 months old and is able to travel with a passport.
Angela D'Ugo DeCesaris: These last few
years since our 50th have been pretty tough for my family. Lori, my oldest is still battling stage 4 breast cancer. Her brother Fred, passed on March 8 ,2014,of Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Steven and Susan are doing quite well,thank god. Lori's daughter, Lauren will be giving me my first great grandchild this month.... Lori's son, David Jr. has graduated college and is heading to the medical field. Susan's son, Thomas, is
Kim, daughter of Sherry Cameron ’61, and her family and Huntington Beach
going to be 16 this May, and is completing his sophomore year of high school. Steven's children, Mario and Ingrid are 12 and 9 and are living in San Francisco. I have sold my home in Florida and have moved back to Rhode Island to be closer to my children.
Virginia McKinnon Dernavich had a whirlwind summer playing lots of golf and spending some time at the Cape. Her whole family celebrated her mom's 100th birthday with relatives coming in from Colorado, Texas, California, North Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, & Massachusetts. They had a great party at The Dunes Club In Narragansett, RI with dinner & dancing and lots of stories and memories shared about her wonderful mom. Ginny says “She only uses a cane to get about, is quite with it and stayed until 10:30. She has been in assisted living for not quite a year. Big shoes to fill.” I remember her mom so well…very fit and active and loving to play golf. Ginny’s 2 sons and family visited for a week. One lives in New Jersey and other Atlanta. They toured Newport , Plymouth Plantation, & then went on to Boston to do Freedom Trail & Old Ironsides. Great family fun, indeed. Trips to Washington and Virginia are planned for fall. Charlotte Greason Hayes and husband Jack
are pretty settled in their new summer home and have spent lots of time with grandchildren, and getting together with Lincoln School friends. How fun is that! They head back to Boca in the fall.
Martha Kay Mann (alias Marfa, and you will see why) has settled down somewhat. Although she and Phil recently returned from Indonesia, (see photos with elephant and turtle) absolutely loving the surreal and amazing “dragons”, they cancelled the Dalmatian Coast trip and decided to be realistic! She confesses “eight miles daily (I can do 5-6 miles daily comfortably) is too much for me,” so they’ll try another trip to Dubrovnik in the next couple of years. In the Fall 2014
26
CLASSNOTES meantime she will probably train and be able to do the eight mile trek! Anyway, instead they will take more local trips such as one to Big Bend National Park where they will spend time hiking for several days and on to Marfa, Texas for a few more days. Martha wrote that a little girl could not say Martha when she was young and called her Marfa!!! I think that is adorable so I will have to call Martha “Marfa” from now on… or at last once in a while. After all that said, Marfa wrote “Next out: Antarctica January 2015!!!!” She and Phil are unstoppable. Forget local travel.
Carolyn Shelley writes news of her grandchildren. “Wyatt, our younger grandson, spent two weeks with us here in Austin after visiting his Santa Fe grandparents. He is quite the traveler. We drove him home to western Minnesota giving us a chance to see Jesse, our older grandson; he's working this summer for Bayer CropScience and will be a college sophomore in the fall. Laurie is running for County Commissioner. Bob and I helped get her campaign materials designed and ready. When we got home we realized that long distance campaign volunteering is hard. Okay, I realized that it'd be really fun to use the tools and strategies I have learned volunteering for other campaigns. So I'm driving back to Minnesota in a few days to help her man a county fair booth, get her block walking organized, and start delivering yard signs.” Good work, Carolyn. I hope she wins the campaign. You are an inspiration!
Dixie-Lee Burns Wilson and Ken, both semi-
retired, moved to Brenham, TX from Houston, Texas 2 years ago and have a small "ranch". She writes “we love the rolling hills, bluebonnets and other wildflowers and the peaceful living. We call a traffic jam three pickup trucks at a traffic light. We have 5 children and 12 grandchildren and 8 of the grandchildren live within a 2 hour radius. They love coming to visit us in the country and we had some fun family reunions here. We have 3 dogs and a Vietnamese pot bellied pig and are considering some additional animals, (maybe cows and chickens?) I keep very busy tending to a large vegetable garden while Ken manages all the rest. I am learning everything not to do in a garden - definitely trial and error learning - but it is fun and rewarding.” We had our last 2 week trip to Kauai in May where we had a timeshare for the past 19 years. The timeshare lease ran out and they are making it into a hotel. We will really miss it, but look forward to expanding our travel to other places. Ken and I attended my 50th reunion at Wells College in early June and just got back from a 90th birthday celebration for my mother which was hosted by my brother in Park City, Utah. My Mom, Roberta Scholdan, published a book a year ago, called "Echoes of My African Heart" and I help her when she gives

talks at universities and libraries when she visits. I work for two companies preparing expatriate families for going overseas. I officially retired from ConocoPhillips 6 years ago, but have worked part time there ever since. I still enjoy it too much to quit entirely. Our lives are rich and full.”
Martha Curit Hough writes “Enjoying another
wonderful summer in Rhode Island - visits with family and friends, golf, painting, etc. etc. The highlight was one wonderful evening when we were ALL together to celebrate family and summer with a wonderful dinner hosted by Jonathan and Lisa at the house they rented this summer in Saunderstown. Grandchildren Ella and Walter (son of Whitney, Lincoln ’86) tried their first oyster… while Maggie and Eliza stood by to watch their older cousins. Those photos are priceless - I predict it might be a while before they have another! We also took a great “road trip” which included a long overdue, and too short visit in Ithaca, NY with my sister Barby (Lincoln ’55) and her loving dog Ubu, and cats Thunder and Lightening. Then on to Montreal (what a fascinating city rich in history, food, and so much more- nearly France on our continent!); and home through Vermont with a brief stop in Shelburne…for the museum and a fabulous dinner at The Shelburne Inn at Shelburne Farm. In late September I will be going to Chebeague Island, Maine for a week with three artist friends…we call it “Art Camp!” This is the Island where my father was born, my parents and sister Betsy (Lincoln ’52) are buried, and for me - so full of treasured memories…. quintessential Maine! Walter and I will be back in Savannah by mid October where the pace quickens with the countless activities that keep us on our toes.Visitors are always welcome….so y’all come on down!” Your scribe Jacquelyn NANCY Savoie Medina has had a busy summer. Our Viking river
cruise to Russia in June was fabulous. We sailed from Moscow to St Petersburg with interesting stops in between. Missed my 50th college reunion at Skidmore as it was the same weekend as my husband’s 50th at Princeton. Although his was lots of fun, I missed seeing my classmates. This summer was filled with daughters and spouses, and grandchildren visiting us in Westhampton. I had between 9 and 14 around the dinner table every night for the month of July. It felt like the Duggar family! My seven grandchildren are all growing like weeds and three are already taller than me. See picture. My eighth grandchild is still in the oven…due in March. Another grandbaby to cuddle! One daughter still lives and works in Abu Dhabi, another lives in California, and the youngest just returned from a 6 month stay in Mumbai, India, teaching music and voice in The New School of
Nancy Hill Joroff ’61 Music there. She now lives in Brooklyn…my jazz singer. Jeremy and I will travel to Spain for about 10 days in October, and then go on another river boat cruise to southern France in 2015…Avignon to Chalon-Sur-Saone. Like Ruth, I have to get my spoken French in order. I hope everyone enjoys reading about classmates doings, and more of you will send me some news and pictures for the next bulletin.

just retired and that this was the first summer that he had spent much time in their vacation home in Colorado. They have been doing a lot of time hiking at 12,00 feet. They also recently went to a wolf preserve.This is the tenth year of the Celtic International Music Festival that she had co-founded. Nancy now only runs the harp retreat. She sees Linda Clave from time to time. Linda "had a wonderful art show last year." Nancy's oldest daughter is working as an environmental lawyer at Harvard Law School and is the owner of an antiquarian book store in Concord where Nancy helps out a couple of days a week when she is in Massachusetts.
Nancy Sherman Lyons said that she and Mike
sold their home in Alexandria, VA in October 2013 and they are now living in their 40 foot RV with their two dogs. They spent last winter in Key Largo, FL and plan to do the same this winter. They spent August in Bar Harbor and will start heading south in September visiting their kids on the way. Nancy's 20 year old grandson Jackson is attending Penn College. 18 year old Andy is thinking of Smith or Holyoke for next year and 16 year old Ella is into high school soccer.
Nancy Hayes Golden reported that she had
a part time job this summer taking care of gardens on a 12 acre resort on a bluff overlooking Provincetown on the Cape. She was able to enjoy the lovely breezes and see the Tall Ships when they visited the area. The Cape has been very dry this summer so Nancy enjoys the occasional rains but said that the tourists weren't very happy.
Anne Elder McCormack retired from her job
at San Francisco Yacht club at the end 2013. She is adjusting to a lack of routine. In April they drove their RV to Ft. Meyers, FL. When they returned Hal had a second total knee replacement. After he recovered they took a week long trip to the Nevada Desert to watch the Land Sailing World Championship. The boats are one person with sails and three wheels that go extremely fast on a dry lake bed. They are planning to race in their Mercury Class Nationals in Santa Barbara in August.
Linda Clave had a major exhibition last spring, called Sound in Paint Expanded. It was a collection that she painted either at a concert or a private session. Also during the exhibit at the HonanAllston Branch BPL she gave a live performance with Carolyn Wilkins. "Carolyn read from her publication "They Raised Me Up" as well as played her piano compositions while I painted to our theme Celebrating the Beautiful."
Marilynn Fera Nereo reported that her health

The first is to bring arts to girls who have been trafficked in the hope that this would help in their healing. The other board is trying to help build a community in East Harlem. The Nereos are loving living in NYC and watching their grandchildren grow.
Pat Robbins Bogash wrote that Eddie had a

Bill buys food for our local Food Pantry, and I am on the Board of FISH (Fellow Islanders Sending Help), which provides rides to doctors, etc, as well as emergency financial assistance, loaning of mobility equipment (walkers, wheelchairs, etc). I am the Volunteer Coordinator, which sounds easy - except 1/2 of our volunteers go north for the summer. I drive 2-3 times/week!! I am also involved with our Friends of the Library. I try to visit my daughters, Beth in RI and Jen in St Louis, as much as possible - grandkids in both places. This past year Bill and I have traveled to Europe to take a canal boat in southern France (LeBoat.com) and Barcelona. We loved it and so are taking another boat trip this Sept to the Loire region of France (via Paris) and again in May 2015 to Brussels. One week, we are the captains- great time!! Of course, we love cruising in the Caribbean and Bahamas on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. We
Sherry and Dave Cameron have had a quiet year. Dave's Mom turned 102 in July and although she doesn't live with us it requires a lot of our time. So no major trips for us of any distance from home. We did manage to get to California for our annual week at Huntington Beach with our daughter and her family. The kids are growing and are starting to enjoy the ocean learning body surfing and boogie boarding. I am just happy to be near the ocean.

Lucinda Buehler Schweikert: I continue in
my 36th year on Martha's Vineyard as a Real Estate Broker for up island sales and rentals with Feiner Real Estate. The first time I ever came to the Vineyard was in the Fall of 1960 when Eunice Calpin (the head of the Boarding Department) took a handful of us boarders too far away from home to travel back and forth to our own homes with her over here to hers for Thanksgiving. Years later when I needed an easy place to be away from my business in New York I thought of the very same Vineyard she had introduced me to, and I have been here ever since. My son and daughter were born Islanders. Michael 29 is also a Real Estate Broker in Oak Bluffs at Ocean Park Realty, and my daughter, Laura 30, is a Real Estate Broker in sunny Ft Lauderdale, Florida with Atlantic Properties International. Having had them when I was near 40 let's just say, that at this point in my life, they definitely keep me young, and that real estate runs in the blood. Five years ago I remarried, and my husband Craig Stewart, is a screenwriter whose beautiful work consistently is winning festival awards. The next step is to get his excellent work produced for the screen. We live on a rural farm in a sanctuary like environment surrounded by 100 acres or more conservation lands and enjoy an enormous vegetable garden and the quiet life most of the year until tourist season pulls us into high gear for a few months. I'd love to keep abreast of and be invited to the Lambrequin events. It’s amazing how I often think of and can sing the songs all these years later Greetings to all my Lincoln family, best wishes Lucinda Stowell Buehler, West Tisbury Massachusetts 02575 (508-693-3541)
Nancy Robinson Van Tuyle: My most exciting
news is the sale of my home. I had no intention of selling although I had been looking at condos casually for the past few years. Things came together very quickly with an interested buyer and a development of condos under construction. My home sold in two days and I am now a tenant in what was my home for 25 years. It is both exciting and frightening. Between travel to the East coast to be with my two daughters and my only grandchild, my place in Deer Valley, Utah and a significant other in Chicago it just seems to make sense to simplify. Because my new home is under construction I am having fun customizing to my own tastes. Despite the chaos that has ensued from the sale of my home Marty and I just returned from Florence, Italy (my first trip). I could have stayed a month. What a terrific

Connie Worthington: After too many bone-
surgeries for Terry and me, we're back to normal (whatever that really is). Our family is on the move. Will Carley graduated with honors from Bay Ridge Prep, and begins his college career at Grinnell (Iowa) with full-tuition scholarship. We all celebrated with Will, Terry's brother, and Mike & CO in Kauai the first week of August - and we'll celebrate in London with Will and his mother this winter. Young Bo Henry (8 1/2) is a star in his own right in the classroom and the playing field and enjoying life in their new Green Bay, WI, home. Michael joined us for a long-planned trip to Vietnam in March. A beautiful, energetic, and welcoming country full of history and growth, scenery and warmth. We even got to see parts near Da Nang that Mike Carley, Sr's had seen 47 years ago, and share our own histories. We'll travel the Southwest with Bill & Sue this fall, and then celebrate turning 70 with the Class of 1962. 70!

As you will read elsewhere in this magazine, Sudi's wonderful legacy at Lincoln was starting and funding the program for green power!
Jan Smart Causey died last week on Sept
3rd of a heart attack while visiting with friends that morning. Jan was a RISD graduate and a beloved art teacher for many years, mostly in the Narragansett and South Kingston school systems. Jan also had a passion for surfing and both practiced it and taught surfing for years! We remember them fondly and send our sympathies to both families.
Carolyn Hazard and Bliss Matteson have been busy organizing, inventorying and cataloging many items in the Lincoln Archives. They are hoping the material will be easier for alumnae to look through and find old memories!

For their hard work the alumnae association is honoring them at the Friday luncheon of Reunion Weekend on October 24th!

The bride and groom live in Hong Kong and I hope to visit them in the New Year.
Joanne Rawson Wildes wrote that she just

First and foremost, I hope everyone who possibly can, will make the class reunion at Anne O’Neil’s home on October 24th. Our 45th reunion, how did that happen?
I have just returned from a trip to Portland, OR and the Monterey Peninsula area. Love getting away and especially playing golf on “real” golf courses. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have fallen in love with golf. Coming home to “fall” is not so fun so leaving again next week for an LPGA tourney in Portland.
I heard from Allison Kimmerle who reports from the Green Mountains of Vermont. “Ken and I moved from the White Mountains of Bethlehem, NH to the Green Mountains of Shelburne, VT on July 1. After being his own boss as a custom home builder for many years, my husband has taken a job with a lumber yard in the area. And I am job hunting. Nasty business that job hunting...especially when one is 63 years old! I have taken to removing dates in every way possible from my resume so folks cannot "do the math"! Sons are out of college (and Mom & Dad are still working to pay for it).
They are 23 and 26; no weddings pending, just great girlfriends! Saw Franny Lord in Talbots in Hanover last year...what a riot, recognized her immediately!”
Deb Davis Gedney reports that her “heirloom
tomatoes are in full harvest, her farm stand is thriving and that all the dogs and her grandchild are running around the farm in health and happiness.” She is hoping to retire from working in the operating room in the spring. She participates in group exercise classes including a new one, power yoga, which help keep her strong for more grandchildren!! She is living the dream and says hello to GoGo Ferguson and Peggy
Ferris. Anne O’Neil reports “In July, Antoinette, Karen Hurvitz and I got together and had a
delicious lunch at Antoinette’s house in Providence with her mother. We had connected on Facebook and I had said that if she were around it would be fun to get together so she invited us. We thought maybe a couple of others from our class might join us but were unable. I have seen Karen since graduation but had not seen Antoinette. I cannot tell you all that she is doing except playing the piano and teaching in Vienna. She has had a wonderfully full career and is an amazing pianist and has played with some very impressive people here and abroad, and has helped many young musicians along the way. We spent 2+ hrs talking nonstop filling each other in on our lives and families and what our kids are up to. Hard to cover 45 (yikes) years in such a short time! Karen as you know is an attorney in Boston and was trying to talk me into a trip to Machu Pichu with her! Sounded amazing but the timing was not good for me. I have been busy with managing our Block Island property, our own house here in Narragansett and also my family's home in Saunderstown which is now in the process of being sold. Anne is looking forward to our reunion and planning on hosting an event here at the house like we did the last time. Hoping we can get a better turnout as the last one was fabulous!

Wendy Heckman: I have had and am having an adventurous summer. I spent four weeks in Europe, two in England and two on the continent. The first week I spent in Salisbury England where I went to Evensong at the cathedral every evening. Glorious! Sean would join me there and then we would go out to dinner. The second week we
spent in London. We stayed around the corner from Trafalgar Square. There never seems to be enough time. We took the Eurostar through the Chunnel to Brussels where Sean had meeting at NATO. I went to the museums and just enjoyed myself. We then rented a car and on to The Hague. Again, Sean had meetings at NATO and I enjoyed the local culture. the painting "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" was returned to the Mauritshuis Museum while we were there. It was quite a spectacle. We even saw the king and queen. I think it is fabulous that a painting is considered such a national treasure. We visited with Sean's niece and nephew while we were there. We also took a drive out to Ypres and visited the Flanders Field Museum as well as many cemeteries and battle grounds. Since it was the 100th anniversary of the beginning of WWI there were many special things going on. After The Netherlands, it was onto Germany where Sean reveled in driving 100 mph on the Autobahn. We visited Cologne and Stuttgart. Then we drove back to Brussels; took the Eurostar back to London and came home the next day. We were home for three weeks and now we are at our house in Nova Scotia. Frankly, we both need the rest! I hope everyone is doing well and look forward to seeing some Lambrequins at the reunion in October!

The class of 1974 had their 40th reunion this August. It was a fun gathering at Naomi Nomizu's house in Connecticut. It was great catching up with everyone while we enjoyed the delicious food everyone brought. We are a creative, fun bunch of women! Actually, Deborah and Paula Kimball Mulvey shared some great memories of their European tour with the Lambrequins in high school at our reunion this year.
Regarding the food in a little more detail. We are blessed as Deborah said with some very talented cooks in our class. Naomi chose a Mediterranean theme for the food this year. She made delicious chicken and beef kebabs with spiced rubs and three amazing sauces. These were accompanied by many wonderful side dishes, salads. Jeanne McHenry Helma made a gorgeous dried tomato and pesto torte appetizer. Susan Rider Rittling brought fresh grilled vegetables from her own garden/farm. Deborah made a delicious Rum Cake from her mother's favorite recipes and Paula Kimball Mulvey made both of Naomi's requests: hummus and blueberry pie.
For music, Naomi's daughter, Justine, put together a playlist of songs from the late 60s through mid 70s that Naomi and her husband Kevin selected. Kevin is a professional musician and sound engineer and the sound system was phenomenal. Each song brought back many memories. We, of course, shared pictures. Susan and I found a great one of Naomi in the Lincoln School archive which we framed for her. She is working on the bust project that every Lincoln student did in Mrs. Surprenant’s Art Class. (see photo!)
Class of 1978
We are extremely grateful to our hosts, Naomi Nomizu and Kevin Nixon, for creating such a wonderful experience for our 40th reunion. It could not have been better!
The Class has organized a gift to Lincoln in honor of volunteer archivist, Joe Palmer. Many have already given.

an update, so here's a brief history of Life Since Lincoln: Got a BS from University of Massachusetts, and a MS from University of Vermont. Started working at Cornell in 1987, got married in 1997, daughter Aleta born in 1998. My dad died in Feb. 2000, so even though I planned to attend the 25th Lincoln reunion, I just could not bring myself to return to RI. We moved my mom to Ithaca in 2009, and in Dec. 2010 our daughter was thrown from a horse and kicked in the face. She had four surgeries and spent two weeks in pediatric ICU at Upstate Medical University Hospital, getting the best care. We weren't sure she would be able to play saxophone again, but four years later not only has she continued alto sax, she has also picked up tenor and bari sax, flute, trombone, clarinet, accordion, percussion, and piano. The photo is of my mother-in-law, me, and Aleta just after playing with the Dryden Area Intergenerational Band & Chorus, a community band for which I do publicity. For work, I'm design director at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and I also manage our rotating art exhibits and coordinate a program for science illustration interns. In my spare time, I like to watch Korean and Japanese dramas and hang out with my family, four cats and 2 fish. So, life is good, but busy. Hope I can get back for a reunion some year and reconnect with the class of ’75.

Well, here we are on the brink of celebrating our 35th reunion (assuming the publication you're holding in your 53ish-year-old hands came out on schedule). Where did all those years go? Seriously?!? Atleast hearing from a few Lincoln classmates makes me feel like a teenager again for just a quick minute. Hope the same is true for you. And I hope to see you at Reunion on October 24-25! Now to the matter at hand. Within moments of sending my latest plea for news, I received the following succinct yet perfectly warm reply:

Kristina, daughter of Caroline Foxley Conneen '80 and her husband for mother/daughter images, as Laura's, Maria's, and Angelic's followed soon thereafter. The theme was unintentional if understandable — Lincoln is all about girls, if you recall. I have to say I'm glad to see at least one (male) moustache in our mix of photos as well ;)
Angelic Missaghian Shea (who looks exactly the same from hairstyle to eyes to expression, don't you think?) had this to say about her portrait: “I am happy that my daughter Olivia's artwork is worthy of our Lincoln magazine. And I'm especially glad that Olivia so graciously left out my age spots, wrinkles, and other signs of maturity.”
Ha. We all know the feeling on the wrinkle front.
Sara Low had a few wordly images of her own to share: “Spent a few fabulous weeks in Wyoming this summer, taking a group fly-fishing and then fishing with friends. A great change of pace from New York City. Just heard that my book (on fishing) is going into a second printing. Am enjoying this new step in my life, which brought me to Brown this spring for a panel discussion on women in sports. (Miss Allen would shudder to think that I was asked to speak on

I had a brief exchange with Belle Traver McDougall, who was literally sitting at the airport
in Montreal and just about to depart for France. Belle said she is COMING to Reunion, so perhaps we'll hear about her trip and other adventures then.
And now for an update from Abigail Littlefield! “I am a professor and chair of the science department at Landmark College in Putney, Vermont, where I have been teaching for 26 years yikes! Thank you Miss McGrath. I live with my partner on our small farm where we raise chickens, bees and have five black labs. Life is very good.”
And from Laura Meiselman: “I have been working as an independent contractor for the past 6 years. I have been doing tutoring and consulting as well as teaching small math enrichment classes. Although I taught middle school math for years, I have been working with some

That's about it. All is good and moving in the right direction most of the time.”
And Ellen Reeves: “I’m about to hole up in Sag Harbor to work on my next book, Extreme Professional Makeover, to help people get the most out of what they’re already doing, to figure out what they want to do with the next phase of their lives, and then figure out how to do it. I’ve been turning this into a live, interactive show. Having a workshop in NYC this fall of the WWII love story play I’ve been developing for years. That, plus teaching at Baruch and NYU, and board work for Lincoln, Harvard/Radcliffe, the American Repertory Theater and the Harvard Art Museum, keeps me off the streets and on Amtrak. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.” And that's that! I, too, hope to see you there (at our reunion) or here (in these pages) soon. Cheers!

Dear Paris, Please accept our sympathies on behalf of your entire class at Lincoln on the sudden passing of your dear brother Nicholas. To learn he was sailing off the coast of Block Island, on our gorgeous coastline, being his last earthly vision I hope gives you some comfort. Know also we all care and have had you and your family in our thoughts! Peace be with you my friend. And with all my classmates!
Until next time! Donna

Management: The Essential Guide to Making it Work at Work” – all about how to create a drama-free intergenerational workplace. It all started with a woman bringing her service dog – a Chihuahua?!?! – to work on her first day without asking. If you have or manage college age kids or kids who have just entered the workplace – this book is for you and them! Now that my father has moved back to Boston, I will be spending more time on the “right” coast so hope to see you all a bit more.
Priscilla Lawrence Melampy: My oldest daughter, Elizabeth,
worked at an archaeological dig this summer in Spain and my husband and I, together with my daughter Jane, traveled to Spain to see her. We spent time together in Barcelona and then to the southern coast. It was a wonderful trip with great sites. My daughter Jane is off to Boston University in the fall. She will be a freshman in the college of general studies, where she will be pre-med. Elizabeth will be a junior at Harvard and is majoring in Comparative Religion. She swears she will not study ministry like her mother, though. I have been doing a huge amount of running and entering road races. This groovy new age of 50 puts me in a wonderful category (the senior one!) and so I actually place in races. I recently ran a fundraiser race for wounded veterans that finished over home plate at Fenway Park. While all races are not as exciting as that one, I do look forward to a few more on the calendar this late summer and fall. I continue in ministry and still enjoy the work. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer!
Stacie Davitt Murray: Celebrated my dad's 80th birthday this summer with my family including my sisters Kris Davitt ’84 and Amanda Davitt McMullen ’88. My Dad, Maury Davitt, was a trustee at Lincoln in the late 1980s. Thank you Sara, Tracey, Lee, Priscilla and Stacie for your updates!

down here in Asheville, NC. We are gearing up for a beautiful fall season in the mountains. Jim and I are doing really well and haven't driven each other too crazy in almost 22 years of marriage. Emma, a sophomore in high school, and Kate, an eighth grader, are amazing young ladies. They are doing well in school and are immersed in volleyball and track. They are much better behaved than I was at their age! We enjoyed an awesome trip to RI this summer and the best part is seeing my daughters and Perry Goff Buroker ’87 children have a blast together at the beach or seeing my girls and Carolyn Buonanno Chase's children bust some serious moves at a Fourth of July event! I love seeing the generations mingle. I am retiring from full time teaching after twenty some years of being in the classroom and I am now moving on to mentoring, PTO and general volunteering at the middle and high school. I can't quite leave the world of munchkins behind ( we have the same sense of humor) but I am ready for a change! I hope all the ladies from my class are doing well and rocking on, hugs and love to all."

The Williams Companies for a little over 13 years. My son, Walter, turned 10 in January and he will be in the 5th grade this year. My husband, Keith, is contemplating his retirement from the Houston Police Department after 32 years of service. So 2015 could be an interesting year for us, especially if he makes the leap to a new career/adventure. We have had a great summer, the Texas heat has been relatively bearable which is a small blessing since Walter’s two passions are baseball and fishing. Fortunately, we were able to escape for a week, which we spent in Saunderstown visiting with my parents and siblings. Unfortunately, our time was much too short and we weren’t able to catch-up with too many friends so next time we will have to stay longer. I love being able to give my husband and son doses of what it was like growing up in RI. We went to the beach as much as possible, fished at Indian Lake where Walter caught a Bass, attended a Paw Sox game, ate as much seafood as we could (Walter even ate his first raw oyster on a dare from his cousin), and most of all we enjoyed our time with family. I hope everyone else has been well and I look forward to catching up at our 30th, if not sooner. Cheers!"

Seeing Ukraine by Elizabeth Ames ’75
hings international are a big part of my life. I define myself as a Bostonian and native Rhode Islander but I’ve spent time in 35 countries. The word “international” brings to mind many snapshots: Lambrequins singing across Europe, language school drills, managing Asian import programs, hair-curling times as a Moscow venture capitalist seeking an honest joint venture.
T
On the Maidan, December ’13 (It was cold!)
But the experience that stays with me is Ukraine. I lived and worked there from 1992-96, starting as Peace Corps’ associate director, launching and managing its entry Volunteer program in the former Soviet Union. Later I worked on other investment and development projects, including one that formed the basis for Ukraine’s capital markets.
As one of the first 70 Americans to live in Ukraine, I came to a strange world. Ukraine was a highly industrialized country. Yet Kyiv in 1992 was so empty of cars that when a goat fell off a truck rumbling down the central avenue, it ran away unimpeded. I was agog.
Fall 1992 brought hyperinflation, 25% unemployment, and fuel shortages that grounded all domestic flights. It was very challenging. I couldn’t have managed without the help of my Ukrainian friends.
Kamyanets-Podilsky, western Ukraine, September ’92
Those friendships are what made me love Ukraine so much. One day I translated the statistics of the Holodomor (Stalin’s genocidal terror famine), the Great Terror, and the Great Patriotic War into the image of throwing a party for 20 Kyiv friends in 1932. When I realized only 8 would have lived to see a reunion in 1945, I began to understand the soviet legacy. Lasting friendships with an American stranger were a selfless gift.
Those friendships and my wondering if Ukraine could ever throw off its straitjacket of corruption pulled me back to Kyiv last December. I watched the beginnings of Ukraine’s “revolution of dignity” on the Internet, but with the first million-person demonstration on Independence Square (the “Maidan”) I knew I had to see it for myself.
I spent 3 weeks in Kyiv wandering the Maidan, listening to the people camped there. I realized I was witnessing a social revolution, a development of civil society, a throwing-off of the soviet legacy. I often felt I was experiencing the spirit of our own American revolution. Over the last nine months the spirit of the Maidan has revealed Putin’s true self and sparked a European geopolitical paradigm shift.
On the Maidan with Anatoly, a demonstrator who made his hard hats into art — December ’13
So Ukraine remains with me. And its spirit will be with all of us who care about Europe for a long, long time.

Susan (Sudi) Cumming ’63
The Lincoln community is saddened by the passing of alumna and friend, Sudi Cumming ’63.
Daughter of Helen Elizabeth Rich, Class of 1935, Sudi was a member of the Class of 1963. She attended Smith College and received her M.B.A. at the University of Chicago Booth School for Business. She worked at Fidelity and Mobil Oil, experiences in business that helped shape her passion for instilling girls and young women with the knowledge and confidence to be financially literate. Thanks to her vision, leadership and generous financial support, Lincoln established the Green Power Program in 2003 to provide an on-going program to educate Lincoln students in personal financial management. The program aims to increase student financial literacy, build their confidence, and foster an eagerness to accept responsibility for their own independence, integrity, and self-respect.
The Green Power Program has brought a diverse range of guest speakers and special programs to Lincoln, focusing on investing, managing credit, budget planning, running your own business, disaster planning, and philanthropy among other topics. Green Power led to the creation of the Personal Finance Class (an Upper School elective), the Lifesmarts Club, and the Exchange City Program for the Middle School. Sudi received the Alumnae Citation in 2009 in recognition of her leadership, her unwavering and enthusiastic support of Lincoln, and commitment to providing all Lincoln students with a personal finance curriculum. So many young women have benefitted and will continue to benefit from her vision and passion.

PAULA MURRAY MCNAMARA ’80 PRESIDENT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Dear Lincoln Friends and Supporters,
I have been honored to serve as the President of the Board of Trustees for the past four years. We have accomplished so much on behalf of our school community. Lincoln is a remarkably resilient and strong institution with an unwavering commitment to its mission as the nation’s only all-girls Quaker School. I thank all our supporters, students, teachers, and friends who come together for Lincoln girls today and in the future.
The future is bright for Lincoln School. Suzanne Fogarty, Head of School, takes the helm at a time when Lincoln is positioned for great success in and out of the classrooms. I could not be more excited about the high caliber programs that Suzanne, the faculty and administrative leadership will bring to our students beginning in 2014-15.
Martha Boss Bennett ’85, alumna and Lincoln parent will also begin her term as President of the Board. I cannot think of any one more experienced to lead the Board, more passionate about Lincoln, and more tireless in her service. The governance and management of Lincoln School are in the best of hands. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank Ann Sullivan for

her service as Head of School during the 2013-14 school year. We are grateful for her experience in leading girl’s schools and the knowledge of Quaker education that she brought to our school community this past year.
We are delighted to welcome current parent Tim Coggins and Alison Chu, President, Lincoln School Parent Association to the Board. I would also like to thank Jim English, Trustee and parent to Lydia, Class of 2010, for his dedicated service to Lincoln on the Board and member of the Finance Committee.
None of our work at 301 Butler Avenue could happen without our dedicated parents, loyal alumnae, committed faculty, remarkable students, and families who are with us every day to bring the very best of 21st century teaching and learning to our students. We are grateful to thank all of you in the 2013-14 Report of Giving.
Thank you again for your support and I look forward to seeing you at Lincoln!

All AMP’ed Up!
Lincoln’s Crew team benefited from the addition of the AMP, a new Resolute Intrepid 4+ racing shell, thanks to a generous gift from past parents, Alan and Ann Perlman, (Sarah ’99, Leah ’02 and Maris ’05). Made in Bristol, RI by Team Resolute, the AMP is a state of the art model designed specifically for high school girls and is painted the Lincoln green. It features Concept 2 Ultralight oars and is equipped with Nielsen-Kellerman electronics. Thanks to this gift, the team now has a full fleet of Resolute racing shells. Lincoln is very grateful to the Perlmans for their generous commitment to this important program.

“You can imagine the inspiration such fine equipment brings to the entire team,” says Director of Athletics Ann Palms. “Our crew can’t wait for spring and the new racing season. We are so grateful to the Perlman’s for their remarkable generosity.”
Since Lincoln’s rowing program was founded in 1998, Lincoln has seen more than 15 of its athletes go on to row in college including Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia,University of Pennsylvania, George Washington, Wisconsin, and Harvard.
Donor support launches new Global Programs Service and Leadership Program, India UN Capstone Program for Middle School
Thanks to generous gifts from Lincoln trustees, parents and alumnae, Lincoln will introduce a new global curriculum in 2014-15 – the Service and
Leadership Program to India and UN Program for Grade 8 as a capstone experience of their Human Rights curriculum. These new initiatives will
support the development of Lincoln students as global citizens. These experiences, beyond the Lincoln campus, will help bridge the gap
between experiential and academic learning and allow students to better understand other cultures and countries in clear, collaborative and
effective ways. Many thanks to the following supporters who together contributed more than $200,000 to make these opportunities possible.

Lincoln School's 2013-14 Annual Fund “I am a Lincoln Girl”
During the 2013-14 school year, the Lincoln community came together as part of the 2013-14 Annual Fund Campaign to celebrate and support what it means to be a “Lincoln Girl.” Alumnae, students, parents and parents of alumnae shared one word that they felt captured the essence of being a “Lincoln Girl.” Here is what they shared!
It is no surprise that words like “confident” empowered” “compassionate” and “creative” were among the most common in describing Lincoln girls. Lincoln is unique in its focus on educating girls and young women and instilling Quaker values into all aspects of the school experience. At Lincoln, students find their voices, take on leadership roles that they might never have imagined possible and work together in new and exciting ways to learn, grow, and discover. Gifts to the Annual Fund make this all possible every day.
Inspired by the example of our students and dedicated teachers, Lincoln supporters gave nearly $645,000 to the Annual Fund in 2013-14. Gifts ranging from $5.00 to $40,000 benefited every aspect of the Lincoln experience. Thanks to the generosity of more than 1,000 donors, the Annual Fund played a critical role in supporting areas vital to promoting 21st century teaching and learning on the Lincoln campus, on our stages and playing fields. Thank you for making the choice to invest in each Lincoln student and support the countless teachable moments that comprise our school year.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2013-14
Treasurer and Chairman, Finance Committee Dear Friends,
guidance it continues to grow and enhance the School’s financial
Committee I would like to share
operating surplus for the year.
As Chair of Lincoln School’s Finance with you some of the financial
accomplishments of the 2013-2014 fiscal year. I am pleased to report that Lincoln experienced a finan-
cially strong year. Our success was
attributable to a variety of sources
and represents the hard work and dedication of Lincoln families,
alumnae, members of the Board of Trustees, the Finance Committee, the School’s administration, and all members of the faculty and staff. The Spring Benefit, honoring Kevin and Paula Murray McNamara ’80,
was held at Lincoln’s Murray Athletic Complex at Faxon Farm in May. The event was the most successful fundraiser in the School’s history. Combined with the Alexis Allen Boss Tennis Tournament and the RI
Festival of Children’s Books and Authors, Lincoln’s special fundraising events netted nearly $100,000 in additional support.
The 2013-2014 school year also began Lincoln’s partnership with the
World Leadership School which will bring Lincoln students to India with our new Head of School, Suzanne Fogarty, in March 2015. Fundraising efforts for our Global Leadership program raised more than $200,000 in cash and pledges in financial support.
Lincoln’s consolidated financial statements project an increase in the
School’s net assets of $1.3 million largely due to growth, earnings and donations to our endowment. Since 2011 Lincoln’s endowment has
been managed by the Rhode Island Foundation. Under the Foundation’s
well-being. Additionally, sound fiscal management resulted in an
Maintaining and enhancing Lincoln School’s facilities both in Providence,
RI and Rehoboth, MA continue to be a priority of the Finance Committee. Capital expenditures in 2013-2014 included an electrical upgrade in the
Science Wing, partial roof replacements, almost $60,000 in technology upgrades, and thanks to a generous donor and grant from the Champlin Foundation, a new crew boat and upgraded robotics lab, respectively.
In conjunction with the Buildings and Grounds Committee, the Finance Committee continues to review required maintenance and new capital
requests to ensure our grounds and facilities provide an engaging, safe, comfortable and productive environment for our students.
Next to our girls and their families, the highly accomplished and dedicated faculty and staff that deliver the strong Lincoln culture and program are our greatest assets. Accordingly, the Finance Committee and Board continue to support our strategic goal of investing in this
diverse and talented community. In the coming year we will be taking a re-energized look at our benefits, compensation, and professional development opportunities to further this critical goal.
As Lincoln welcomes our 16th Head of School, Suzanne Fogarty, the Finance Committee commences a new chapter in Lincoln’s history.
We will work collaboratively with Suzanne, the Board of Trustees,
and all members of the Lincoln community to sustain a strong financial
profile in the short and long-term. As we begin this journey, I would like
to thank you for your support and continued commitment to all current and future Lincoln School students.
