SUZANNE FOGARTY HEAD OF SCHOOL

Friends, What happens at Lincoln School simply cannot happen anywhere else, because at Lincoln, girls come first. Through our size, through our mission—both all-girls and Quaker—through our dynamic, excellent, and innovative academic program, we are preparing our students to build their confidence through their successes, through their trial and error, through discovery, through laughter, and through joy. In the four, eight, or 12 years girls spend at Lincoln School, they practice speaking up and out, tapping into strengths they did not know they had, challenging their teachers and each other through respectful and engaged dialogue, and putting the best of our Quaker values into practice: listening to each other, sitting in collective silence at our weekly meetings, and reflecting on what it means to be empathetic, creative, and active problem-solvers. Lincoln students feel comfortable and confident sharing their thoughts and ideas about tough and complicated issues. They can do that here—do it courageously and honestly—because in the end, Lincoln girls know that they come first in a world that does not always create that space for them, fostering a deep and steadfast belief in who they are.

In the four years that I have been the head of Lincoln School, I have sometimes heard the question, “How do I know my daughter will be prepared for a co-ed world?” The short answer is that she is better prepared as a result of Lincoln, because she spends her days practicing being who she is, seeing herself in her peers and in the alumnae who visit the school—she sees herself as a writer, an athlete, an actress, a computer scientist, or all four combined. Lincoln girls believe that they can be who they see—and they see inspiring examples all around them every day. As Dr. Minahan, the chair of our English department, often says: Yes, we want to make Lincoln girls ready for the world, but our real desire is to make the world ready for Lincoln girls. I know the world has changed for the better, and will continue to, because of Lincoln girls. Thank you for being a part of this truly remarkable community. Looking forward,

Suzanne Fogarty Head of Lincoln School

I was raised to believe women can do and become anything. Constantly shifting between mom, wife, daughter, friend, and businesswoman is the only world I know. At times, life feels almost too immense to navigate. But like all of us strong women must do, I choose to wake up and give it my all. [We must] face these challenges with one another in order to inspire, empower, and achieve.

HARE RAISER: Resurrecting the Untold Story of The Velveteen Rabbit Laurel Davis Huber ’69

It all began with the letter A. Growing up, Laurel Davis Huber ’69’s favorite book was an illustrated ‘compilation of children’s stories given to her by Florence Chaplin, her Grade 1 teacher at Lincoln School. Fascinated by the intricate pen and ink sketches and accompanying six-line verses, Huber returned again and again to Beginning With A, which told the stories of 26 imaginary young people with first names for each letter of the alphabet, from Alexander to Zita. Once childhood was behind her, Huber—who learned to read at age three and honed her skills with her favorite stories—relegated Beginning With A to a storage shelf where it stayed until, in a fit of procrastination, she picked it up again in June of 2006. “A little over 10 years ago I pulled out this book I loved so much, that I was so entranced by as a child, and I discovered something completely new about it that changed my life,” said Huber.

LincUP IS BRANCHING OUT LincUP, Lincoln’s suite of mentoring and networking programs, has expanded its footprint in recent years to better serve Lincoln students and alumnae. LincUP options are designed to grow with our students, beginning in Middle and Upper Schools, when it can help them learn about careers and make connections; after graduation, it’s there to help bolster their professional endeavors; and ﬁnally, once they are established, LincUp can connect them with fellow alumnae to discover common ground. No matter where a Lincoln girl is in her journey, there’s a LincUP for her!

Connecting Current Students With Alumnae

AT LINCOLN

It all began with LincUPtoLearn, a mentoring program launched in Spring of 2016 that connects current Lincoln students with alumnae who are succeeding in an industry of interest. Whether it’s health and wellness, non-proﬁt work, photography, or ﬁnance, a host of Lincoln students have been given the unique chance to have hands-on professional experience before deciding on a career path. Now in its third year, and with so many lasting relationships forged, LincUPtoLearn has become a hallmark Lincoln program, one that both students and alumnae can look forward to throughout the school year.

Young Alumnae Mentorship LincUPtoMentor is a program geared toward college-aged alumnae. By pairing them with established Lincoln women in their geographic location, or professional occupation, or who share an interest of theirs, LincUPtoMentor allows young alumnae to discover the steps that those who came before them took, making them better able to navigate their own paths.

IN THE WORLD

LincUPtoNetwork offers small-scale events in select cities, geared toward established alumnae with the goal of helping them uncover mutual connections and gain career guidance in a high-touch, low-pressure environment. “I had a great time at LincUPtoNetwork when I attended during Reunion Weekend! The opportunity to spend time chatting with brilliant, accomplished Lincoln alumnae was invaluable, and I left feeling inspired and more motivated than ever to achieve my own professional successes,” said Leah Tinberg ’12, a mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “As a young alumna, I really appreciated being able to speak with women pursuing careers in a variety of ﬁelds (including a few fellow engineers, which was very exciting!), and I left the event with a handful of business cards and so many new professional connections!”

The Year of Less

Enough as She Is

by Cait Flanders

by Rachel Simmons

This is written by a ﬁnance blogger who wanted to change her lifestyle of over-consumption and consumerism. She went on a year-long shopping ban and only allowed herself to make purchases from the "approved list." I think while she reﬂects on her experience she also makes direct connections to how relationships are affected. It’s interesting and applicable!

I'm reading Rachel Simmons' Enough As She Is, which is completely relevant for Middle School. As I read, I’m mentally pulling out passages and chapters for Middle School faculty and families, and I recently saw the author during the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools global conference in Washington, DC— she was fantastic!

Every year, Head of School Suzanne Fogarty selects a book for faculty and staff to enjoy over the summer. This year it’s Hans Rosling’s Factfulness, which Bill Gates called “one of the most important books I’ve ever read— an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.”

TOWER OF STRENGTH Meredith Vieira ’71 Shows a Documentary and Shares Her Story

Meredith Vieira ’71 wants to talk to you. As one of the nation’s foremost journalists and TV personalities, and more recently, the executive producer of the innovative documentary TOWER, one might be tempted to think she may not have the time or the inclination for an in-depth conversation, but that could not be further from the truth. “I am where I am today because I’ve been able to talk to such amazing people, and not just politicians or athletes or celebrities, but everyday people who have their own unique take on the world,” said Vieira during a recent visit back to Lincoln School. “When you can talk with someone, you can connect with them. And when you connect with them, you can understand them. Isn’t that all what we’re here on this earth to do?” Vieira, a native of Rumford, Rhode Island, and a Lincoln lifer from Nursery through graduation, was on campus to screen her film TOWER, a documentary directed by Keith Maitland, which examines the stories of the victims and survivors of the United States’ first mass school shooting, the 1966 tragedy at the University of Texas at Austin. “TOWER is an incredibly important story to tell, and I am very proud to be a part of it. The film’s purpose is to pay homage to the people that were on the ground on that terrible day. It isn’t about gun rights or politics—it’s about opening up the space for critical conversations. It’s a reminder that these issues are, at their core, human issues about real people,” said Vieira. “In my professional life, I am privileged to hear a variety of people’s stories. I love being able to be a facilitator who can share those otherwise untold moments with the world.” The critically acclaimed film, called “a powerful, emotional memorial,” by The Guardian, “an insightful, intense and intensely moving experience,” by Radio Times, and “easily one of the best films of the year,” by the San Francisco Chronicle, was a labor of love for Vieira, who recognized that August 1, 1966 was a day that changed the lives of many, and not just those on campus.

“

I’ve seen a lot of change. I’ve seen an industry evolve. And at my age, it’s easy to get discouraged about the state of things, but when I meet young people who are enthusiastic, optimistic, and smart, I think we’re going to be okay. After all, our future is up to you. But no pressure,” Vieira said with a wry smile. “You've got this. Your stories are just beginning.”

“When this tragedy happened, it was the first of its kind. And it changed the whole entire nation. We lost some of our collective innocence,” said Vieira. “I remember that so much of the news around this event was about the shooter, and not about the people who died, or helped, or had to suddenly learn to live without loved ones. These days, because this is, unfortunately, a more frequent occurrence, deaths are often spoken of in tallies and statistics. But numbers don’t have emotions. They simply cannot tell the whole story.” During her campus visit, Vieira took the time to sit down and speak with members of The Plaid Post, a studentwritten and student-run publication with the mission of connecting Lincoln girls with what's happening in the community and around the globe. After screening the film, Vieira spent the afternoon answering questions on subjects ranging from her time at Lincoln to how she got started in her career, from the why and how behind TOWER to her thoughts on influencing national conversations, and continuing the dialogue with the young women around her. “Lincoln is a perfect place to have important dialogue. As a school, it’s always been that way,” said Vieira. “You all know this, because you’re Lincoln girls, but it’s so important to

have these hard discussions. That’s the point of the film— to get people talking. Don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable. Make some noise. Keep telling stories... Go off script and make real, human connections—that’s when you’ll find the most interesting things... Stay curious, and don’t give up.” Vieira certainly hasn’t. She left Lincoln-with dreams of becoming a theater major—to attend Tufts University, where she tried on five different concentrations before selecting English in order to graduate on time. On a whim, she took a radio broadcasting class, and her final project was so good, a producer who heard it asked her: “What are you going to do after college?” She answered: “I have no idea!” And his reply was: “I do. You’re going to have a great career.” Her career since has been one to celebrate, from being a reporter and anchor at WJAR-TV in Providence to hosting major network shows like The View, The Today Show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and the recently premiered PBS documentary Incredible Aging: Adding Life to Your Years. Her eyes, however, are firmly affixed on the future, not just on where she is going, but on who will inherit the good work of telling the world’s tales. “I had a leg up because of what I learned at Lincoln. And you all will, too. But remember—you don’t want to be the next me, or the next someone else—you want to be the next you. Take my email and use it anytime you like. I mean, don’t hide outside in the bushes or anything,” joked Vieira. “But if I can help young women like you succeed, then it’s better for us all. “I’ve seen a lot of change. I’ve seen an industry evolve. And at my age, it’s easy to get discouraged about the state of things, but when I meet young people who are enthusiastic, optimistic, and smart, I think we’re going to be okay. After all, our future is up to you. But no pressure,” Vieira said with a wry smile. “You've got this. Your stories are just beginning.” 11

You’re not just individually bold, brilliant women. You are a community who has found your shared voice and used it ... on your necessary and noble quest to bring about change. You are magic and the world awaits you.” Commencement Speaker Prerna Singh, Brown University Mahatma Gandhi Professor

Inside the State-of-the-Art STEAM Hub for Girls

GAININGSTEAM

Life in the Hub

THANK YOU! $5MM GOAL REACHED

focus

The newest addition to Lincoln’s historic campus, the state-of-the-art STEAM Hub for Girls, is now complete, providing a central home for 21stcentury teaching and learning! STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Architecture, Math), adds the “A” to the traditional STEM acronym to recognize that, in today’s world, technology alone is simply not enough. The STEAM Hub, the only dedicated space for STEAM learning for girls in Rhode Island, broke ground in late May 2017, and celebrated its grand opening just shy of a year later. The addition features a modern two-story glass facade, 4,000square-feet of interdisciplinary teaching space for science, math, and the humanities, including new physics and chemistry labs and recently renovated biology labs, glass-enclosed study spaces, and a 2,000-square-foot art gallery for students and visiting artists. "The STEAM Hub was an initiative that came together quickly and with a lot of momentum—in less than two and a half years we designed, funded, constructed, and now put a great new facility into use,” said Jane Palestine Jamieson ’71, vice

president of Lincoln’s Board of Trustees. “The design and impact of the building speaks to what Lincoln is today—forward-looking and innovative—but also a school that considers and honors its history.” Thanks to the generosity and dedication of the Lincoln community, the $5 million dollars in funds needed to build the project was not just reached but surpassed, resulting in an additional $250,000 endowment, with plans to expand it even further in the future. “The STEAM Hub is a physical space that inspires intellectual creativity and curiosity. On the wall just outside the STEAM Hub’s art gallery, you will see the following quote from Albert Einstein: ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science,’” said Head of School Suzanne Fogarty. “What we are doing at Lincoln cannot happen anywhere else, because here girls are always ﬁrst. This new structure, where tradition meets innovation, is a launchpad for girls and women jumping feet ﬁrst into the future.” 17 19

GAININGSTEAM Amanda Pericles ’10 "I was delighted to see the college-like communal spaces and soundproof study areas in the STEAM Hub, because a good work/study environment is crucial!" Jamie Chavez ’20 “My favorite part of the new STEAM Hub is the art gallery—it’s amazing to see all the talented artists’ work being displayed in a space that accessible to everybody who enters Lincoln’s doors. But whether it’s to display a student’s art, give a speech, take a physics class, or just to study, the STEAM Hub gives every student at Lincoln the space to pursue what they please.”

Izzy Medeiros ’19 “It’s so great to have a dedicated space for collaboration and teamwork—it’s like we have a classroom that revolves around us and what we are learning. I didn’t know that could even happen in a school! The STEAM Hub states loud and clear that Lincoln highly values STEAM ﬁelds, and that women will not be left behind. We are showing our community that Lincoln is a leader, and I’m so proud to be able to learn here every day.” Lincoln School Neighbor “Now that [The STEAM Hub] is complete... I applaud the new look, which, in my opinion, looks great when approaching the school from either end of Butler. What an attractive addition to the neighborhood. We even have to slow down to 20 mph to enjoy it all the more!” Connie Worthington ’62 “It’s really impressive—so much space inviting collaborative research and learning. State-of the-art labs and classrooms await the challenges of discovery and scholarship. The science and the students rule!” Dr. Catherine Hibbitt ’85, P’19 ’22 Science Department Head “It is such a pleasure to see teaching and learning happening in this beautiful building. Light, space, and design invite everyone to be a scientist. Students have embraced the generous and varied study spaces: these days the STEAM Hub and the Science Wing are humming with learning.” Ting Barnard P’27 “The STEAM Hub nurtures a student’s appreciation of the arts and sciences as complementary tools for innovative thinking in whatever industry she chooses to explore. The combination of arts (expression and design-thinking) and sciences (systematic and strategic application) provides a powerful foundation for engineering creativity! We are beyond grateful that our daughter has the opportunity to learn in a space like this.”

“The creation of the STEAM Hub for Girls was overseen by a strong female team: the head of school, the chair of the board, the chief financial officer, the director of advancement, the Shawmut construction project manager, one of the primary LLB architects, and myself— all women,” said Nancy Nahigian Tavitian ’82, vice president of the Lincoln School Board of Trustees, and chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee. “We envisioned the STEAM Hub to help address the gender gap in traditionally male-dominated STEAM fields, and the team that helped to build it stands as testament to that concept as well. “As an all-girls school, Lincoln is committed to working with companies that hire and develop women in key leadership roles,” Tavitian said. “It's a natural question for us to ask companies about female representation in management.” Working in collaboration with a strong supporting cast of men, the makeup of the STEAM Hub leadership team makes a statement to Lincoln students. “We want our students to know that if you want to be a CEO, you can be one. You can be an architect, run a construction company, or lead a biotech startup based on your PhD thesis,” said Tavitian. “We want them to see opportunities, not barriers or ceilings.” To have such a talented and committed group of women and men come together says something about the benefits of collaboration and representation. “It's been exciting to be part of a team that has transformed Lincoln's presence on Blackstone Boulevard, which will be a lasting part of the Providence community,” said Tavitian. “Our students and faculty deserve these innovative facilities, which will provide generations of women with the power of limitless possibilities.” 17

TE(A²)CH Meet Technology Innovator and STEAM Star Susan Amsler-Akacem P’24

he students call her Ms. A²,

and if you catch her in the classroom or on campus, it’s easy to see that it’s not just a nod to her alliterative name. It often seems like Susan AmslerAkacem, Lincoln School’s Technology Innovator and Educational Technology Department Head, has used her impressive tech skills to somehow multiply herself. On any given day, she appears to be in many different places at once: monitoring imaginative experiments in Lower School’s MakerSpace; shepherding Lincoln’s Odyssey of the Mind team through the world competition halfway across the country; or laser-cutting student creations in the newly completed STEAM Hub for Girls. 18

Wherever she is, whatever she is doing, being a force of nature seems to be second nature for Susan A². “I like to push the envelope. I always want to be doing more. ‘Innovator’ is literally in my job title, so you won’t catch me being stagnant,” said Amsler-Akacem. “Technology is constantly evolving, and because of that, so am I.” Becoming a teacher was itself an evolution for the Florida native, whose graphic design background provided an interesting foundation when she decided to pursue tech education, a choice that brought her north to Rhode Island. In the three years since Amsler-Akacem—who is now pursuing her Masters in STEAM Education—has been at Lincoln, she has helped to create and champion hallmark initiatives like the

GAININGSTEAM Lower School MakerSpace, the Girls Hack the World hackathon partnership with Sophia Academy, and two Odyssey of the Mind creative problem-solving troops that have ranked in the top 150 teams globally for two years running. She teaches Middle School technology classes, coding and robotics for 4 year olds through Grade 8, and Upper School computational thinking. She is also responsible for integrating technology into cross-disciplinary curriculum from Pre-K through Grade 12. “One of my favorite parts of this job is making technology a tool for learning with teachers and students. It’s not about changing curriculum; it’s about injecting creativity,” said Amsler-Akacem. “Using coding, robotics, and the latest technology to teach more traditional subjects, that is the stuff of the real world. The ingenuity and thinking that students display when pushed in this direction is astonishing—they use these resources and tools to create masterpieces.”

“

these girls that they can do whatever it is that they want to do, they learn that tech is not a male world. If they grow up knowing this, they grow up knowing that it’s actually their world to lead.” Amsler-Akacem has found that when girls are ﬁrst learning to embrace technology, or ﬁrst exposed to a new facet of it, they may be hesitant to explore outside their comfort zone. The persistent myth of perfectionism plagues girls of all ages, often causing very capable students to avoid trying

It’s so important to engage these girls in the iterative process in order to desensitize them to failure. The best technology wasn’t made on the ﬁrst try. Failing is just a way to learn what needs to be done next.”

With the addition of the STEAM Hub—the first such space dedicated to interdisciplinary STEAM learning for girls in the state—there is a stronger technological through-line across divisions than there has ever been. While the littlest learners crack into an educational toy called a KIBO robot kit, which encourages STEAM literacy through robotics for 4–7 year olds, Upper Schoolers are next door crafting robots for competitions in the newest corner of Lincoln’s campus. As Grade 4 girls are integrating gears and electric circuits into their colonial-sampler dioramas, Middle Schoolers singe cardboard with a laser cutter to create cutouts of forgotten civil rights leaders throughout history. And on the floor below, in the STEAM Hub’s Art Gallery, runway-ready garments made out of recycled materials hang in the same space in which Grade 7 students embarked on Empathy and Ergonomics Through Industrial Design, a new partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design that focuses on engineering human-centered products for people with differing ranges of physical ability. Amsler-Akacem has been on the front line of the kinds of learning that the latest tech enables, which means she knows firsthand that girls who grow up understanding technology are poised to disrupt and shape the traditionally male-dominated industry. “Working with all girls is such a huge opportunity—in the tech world, the female voice needs to be heard as equally as the male voice, and all-girls education is a great road there,” said Amsler-Akacem. “Kids today are all born with technology at their fingertips, but that’s just the surface. By showing

something they’ve never done out of fear of making a mistake. Instead of looking at that thought pattern as a deterrent to using technology, Amsler-Akacem sees technology as one of the best ways to break through the myth. “It’s so important to engage these girls in the iterative process in order to desensitize them to failure. The best technology wasn’t made on the first try,” she said. “Failing is just a way to learn what needs to be done next.” In her relatively short tenure at Lincoln School, Ms. A² has more than lived up to her nickname. The technological seeds she has planted have already multiplied, propagating her love of technology far and wide, putting girls front and center and lifting them up to new heights. “When I first started, I brought in a KIBO robot to a young coed classroom and the boys were in the box immediately, trying to get out the parts and see how they work. Girls were waiting for instructions, for me to tell them it was okay,” said Amsler-Akacem. “But fast forward to this school year—I brought out a new tool in coding club, and those Lincoln girls, some of whom were in that first coed class, tore through that box. They went to town trying to connect the parts, and they were doing exactly what the boys were doing years ago. I’ve made it my mission to show them it’s okay to play, to explore, to test, to fail and fail big. There isn’t a formula; there’s no set of directions. It makes me so excited that they just get in there and get hands-on and figure it out. In the coed world, girls unfortunately often take a back seat. But at Lincoln, there is no back seat. Here, they are the frontrunners and the leaders.” 21 19

Get With the Programs New Partnerships with Brown and RISD

Lincoln’s partnerships with outstanding area organizations like Save the Bay, Blackstone Conservancy, The Steel Yard, Rhode Island School of Design, and Brown University’s School of Architecture, have become an integral part of our signature academic programs. This year, two new partnerships are broadening Lincoln’s campus even further: a Grade 7 industrial design intensive with RISD’s Industrial Design department, and an Upper School Geographic Informations Systems course on sea-level rise with the the Environmental And Remote TecHnologies Laboratory (EARTHLab) at Brown University’s Institute at Brown for Environment and Society.

Grade 7 Empathy and Ergonomics Through Industrial Design Program This expanded alignment with RISD, which builds on a partnership that has allowed Upper Schoolers to take an Introduction to Architecture course at RISD, will enable Grade 7 girls to benefit from best-in-class expertise in the field of human-centered industrial design. Taught by RISD Professor Leslie Fontana P’16,’17, the course challenges students to redesign household tools while considering the needs of those who are differently abled. “If industrial designers have a super power, it’s observation,” said Fontana. This new partnership stands as a deepened commitment to our design thinking philosophy by showcasing the human element of STEAM learning, and was engineered specifically for Middle School students. The Empathy and Ergonomics Through Industrial Design program is curricular proof that when it comes to STEAM, there is immense power in starting early and allowing girls at this critical age to embrace their intellectual curiosity, envisioning future possibilities they may never have imagined otherwise. "It's so important for these girls to realize that STEAM isn't abstract—you can use these disciplines to do something that is so good for people, so human," said Debbie Hanney, Middle School director. "In this program, they must learn to be empathetic to their user before they can think about the design. The girls are often looking for those connections, the ‘why’ behind math and science, and how that translates to the real world. That's a hugely exciting piece of this new program."

Upper School Sea Level Rise IBES Geographic Information Systems Program Globally, the average sea level has risen roughly eight inches in the last 100 years, in large part because of warming oceans and melting glaciers. But sea level rise is different from place to place and from time to time, due to factors like local geography, land erosion and subsidence, tides, and storms. This new program asks: what is happening to the sea level in our backyard? This new partnership with Brown University allows Upper School students to take a Summer Intensive Geographic Information Systems course that asks the question: "Sea level rise: how much, where, and when?" Taught by Amanda Lynch P’21, PhD, director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, as well as professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences, and Samiah Moustafa, PhD, visiting assistant professor of Environment and Society, this course explores the global and local processes that cause the sea level to change with a speciﬁc lens on what is happening in the Ocean State, including mapping and communicating sea level rise using Geographic Information Systems. “It’s critical that our students understand the world around them in as many ways as possible, but it’s particularly important that they have an eye on the environment in which we live,” said Peter Brooks, director of the Upper School. “This new partnership with IBES takes our Quaker commitment of stewardship of the earth to the next level, while helping to equip our girls with the tools they need to help ensure that Rhode Island, and the world in general, can thrive.”

Lower School Cardboard Challenge

focus

Constructing Lincoln City In early May, the Lower School embarked on a creative challenge: build Lincoln and its surrounding city entirely out of cardboard. A true feat of engineering and innovation, each grade designed and built a portion of the massive structure, which spanned the Wheeler Gym. A wonderful example of STEAM in action, students were responsible for every step along the way, from brainstorming to designing and building, and ﬁnally to decorating their creations. Students built city parks, transportation options, the Providence Place mall, a zoo and its inhabitants, and of course, their beloved Lincoln School, and were captivated by constructing a recyclable replica of their community.

Speaking Up, Speaking Out Sophomores Present Their Passion Lincoln girls speak up and speak out. Whether our students are natural extroverts, unafraid to stand in front of their peers and say what’s on their mind, or introverts for whom trusting their own voice is a learned skill, at every interval of our curriculum we put an emphasis on presentation and public speaking. It’s a critical skill for our students to learn, and there is no better place for our students to learn it than in an environment that puts girls ﬁrst. According to the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools, a national survey found that nearly 87% of girls’ school students feel their voices—their opinions—are respected, compared to 58% of girls at coed schools. Boldness can most certainly be born, but here at Lincoln, we know it also can be built.

The Sophomore Speaker Series is a brand-new program launched this year that asks students to speak to an audience of peers, teachers, staff, and parents about something for which they have a passion. Whether fearless or fainthearted, each and every Grade 10 girl has stood up to share a story. Topics run the gamut: the challenges of being an introvert in a noisy world, the lessons learned on the L train in Chicago, being the only girl on an all-boys ice hockey team, and putting yourself ﬁrst when society’s measure of individual value is often based on ﬁrst-place awards. Each student is inspiring her peers with not just what she says but how she says it—with composure and with courage. In a world in which girls’ voices are often silenced, Lincoln students are encouraged to speak their truth, even if their voices shake.

ATHLETICHALLOFFAME

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME When Lincoln School celebrated the induction of the second class into its Athletic Hall of Fame on March 3, inductees and presenters alike shared passionate stories of perseverance, courage, and most of all, spirited camaraderie in a testament to the power of the female athlete and the strong legacy of Lincoln Athletics.

Redirecting Rejection: From Sidelines to State Champ

ATHLETICHALLOFFAME

Rachel Westgate ’94

“

Let me start with this: I am a reject,”

said Rachel Westgate ’94 with a laugh. As a member of the 1993 Lincoln School State Championship Field Hockey Team, it’s hardly an accurate assessment, though her path to the podium was anything but predictable. “I am not your prototypical Hall of Fame athlete—I was never supposed to be a field hockey champion. I didn’t even make the team at first! But I will never forget what an incredible experience it was to be a part of a group of girls that accomplished what we did.” Westgate, who attended Lincoln School from Grade 9–12 and is now a Middle School teacher in Foxboro, recently stood up in front of former classmates and fellow athletes at the Athletic Hall of Fame event, which honored Lynx who left a lasting impact on the school's athletic program. As the chosen representative for the 1993 State Championship Field Hockey Team, which was itself inducted for winning the school's first state championship in the sport, Westgate spoke about the steps she took, and those she missed, in order to be a part of the top team to play on the turf that year. “When I came to Lincoln as a soccer player, my sister (Julia Westgate Lown ’91) bamboozled me into trying out for field hockey, which I had never played, so I didn’t even come close to making the team my first year,” said Westgate. “Luckily Coach Elcock found me the next day and said she had a proposition for me. She said, ‘You have no idea what you’re doing on the field… yet.’ And that ‘yet’ made all the difference.” What Coach Ellen Elcock proposed was to join the team as a manager, and in return for keeping score during competitions, Westgate would get to learn the game by practicing with the JV team. As a seasoned soccer player

before Lincoln, it was difﬁcult to consider a proposition that simultaneously felt like a slight. “I had never been rejected before. Things had always come very easily to me, and this sport, as it turns out, was pretty hard,” said Westgate. “But that ended up being the best thing. At Lincoln, it wasn’t ‘You’re not good enough!’ and that’s the end. It was ‘We have high standards, and you haven’t quite met them, but here’s a path for you.’ What a cool opportunity, and what a valuable lesson.” After a year of practicing and learning the rules of the game from the sidelines, Westgate made the JV team as a sophomore, and eventually varsity in her junior and senior years. It was her senior year, 1993, when the Lynx secured the championship title. “We were a great team, and not just because of talent, though we had some outstanding players. Coach Elcock had a way of ﬁnding what people were good at and everyone had a role to play and everyone did their job,” said Westgate.

“

Being an athlete at Lincoln was formative for me. It taught me the value of camaraderie and perseverance and leadership and never, ever giving up.”

team, she clearly recognizes the impact that being a Lynx continues to have on her life.

Though bolstered by the sisterhood of sport, the ﬁnal bit of magic, as it turns out, came directly from the hands of a hard-working, heartfelt, once-upon-a-time team reject.

“Being an athlete at Lincoln was formative for me. It taught me the value of camaraderie and perseverance and leadership and never, ever giving up,” said Westgate, who passes the value of sportswomanship on to her students. “I am a teacher now and I tell my students all the time: you will get rejected, but that doesn’t often say much about you, because people get rejected all the time. What does say a lot about who you are, is what you do in the face of that rejection. Own it. Embrace it. Redirect it. That’s what I learned on the Lincoln ﬁelds, and it hasn’t left me. It made me the person I am today.”

“Yes, it’s true—I was a reject—but in the end, I worked harder than I ever had, and I surrounded myself with incredibly supportive people, and I ended up being the reject who made the championship-winning goal,” said Westgate, who won the storied game by scoring a goal in a penalty shootout. And though she’s modest about her contributions to the

CLASSNOTES

In Memory of Carolyn Briggs Cumming ’32 On March 27, Carolyn Briggs Cumming ’32, one of Lincoln’s oldest surviving and most loyal alumnae, passed away in her home at the age of 103. "Carolyn was truly a unique individual whose kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity were known by all who had the honor of knowing her. She will be missed,” shared her son, Steve Darrah. After graduating from Lincoln in 1932, Carolyn, who loved art, attended the Rhode Island School of Design for a year to study jewelry design before transferring to Bradford College to complete her college education. Her passion persisted throughout her life, and she loved gardening, knitting, needlepoint, and quilting. Carolyn credited Lincoln for teaching her how to create art with her hands. A member of the basketball team while at Lincoln, she continued to cheer on the Lynx throughout her life. Carolyn attended the SENE semifinal game in Boss-McLoughlin Gym in 2009, wearing her mother’s lucky red coat to the game, which Lincoln won. She shared that she enjoyed coming to Lincoln and seeing how things had changed, and she last returned to Butler Avenue in 2012 to commemorate her 80th Reunion. Carolyn leaves behind a son, two grandsons, and five great-grandchildren, and was also the mother of the late Peter Darrah. Her step-daughter, the late Sudi Cumming ’63, and step-granddaughter, Marney Cumming McCabe ’90, both graduated from Lincoln. Marney recalls that, "Carolyn always spoke fondly of Lincoln, often sharing stories about her time there. She remained committed to the school throughout her life. Most recently, she helped fund the Women in the Global Economy Endowment, created in memory of Sudi Cumming ’63, which is instrumental to Lincoln’s commitment to help girls plan for their financial future."

Judith Wells Fieldhouse writes with the sad news that her husband, Jim, died on January 5, 2018 after a long illness. “He wasn't in any pain and our children were all with him and it was a peaceful passing.

When newly married, we each owned a dachshund puppy from the same litter. On one get-together, we played the piano all day; she on the lower and I on the upper keys. We focused on Gilbert and Sullivan music, making us very nostalgic about our Lincoln years. She was direct, practical, funny, and loyal. Another star in the galaxy!”– Mary Baldridge Remensnyder

Rod and I are both deeply concerned about our country and beyond, and are feeling the same stress that many of you may be feeling as well. Other than those concerns, personally, we are both holding our own health-wise. I would have to say that, given our octogenarian years, we are feeling most fortunate. Yes, the energy level is definitely reduced, the house is not quite as spic and span, and getting out of bed is bringing with it that morning stiffness which has descended upon us in these later years.

Luckily, she is small, although strong and athletic, the latter unlike her non-athletic mother!

Recently, I drove from New Hampshire to East Providence for a wonderful visit with my two roommates from 1957–1959, the years when we all were working in Cambridge. Helen Sproul ’54 entertained us for lunch at her home, and Ann Haley Clark, a Wheeler graduate, drove from Falmouth on the Cape. Oh, the memories of those years, fun and funny, $30 each monthly rental, free Boston Symphony rehearsals, weekend parties and football games with old friends and new ones. We could have reminisced for hours more! Cambridge holds a special place in my heart as that is where I met Rod, my husband of 59 years. Is it possible, then, that we have reached the day when our oldest son, Rodney Bradford Roberts, Jr. (Brad) would become the father of the groom when his oldest son, Rodney Bradford Roberts III (Rod), married Samantha Zumbro? Both engineering students who met at Colorado School of Mines–Samantha graduating just in May 2017–their large wedding took place on a beautiful avocado and blueberry ranch surrounded by white flowers with spectacular views of mountains as a backdrop in Camarillo, California. We were missing only two of our crew at the wedding, so three of our kids and six grandkids–all close cousins–and Rod and I had a terrific time celebrating together. Perfect weather, joy, and love ruled the day! Two other college graduate grandkids are spreading their wings, with our oldest grandson–now working as the field director in East Hampton, New York for Share the Harvest– in South Africa until April, and our oldest granddaughter working and living with several roommates in a house in New Haven, Connecticut.

And finally, the youngest grandson will be a junior in the fall in a boarding school in Millbrook, New York. All are growing up faster than we can even imagine! Janet Laing Hetterly has continued her amazing travels with a trip in February 2018 to both Argentina and Chile. I told her that she wins the prize, hands down, for the most well-travelled 1953 classmate and, most likely, of all Lincoln School alumnae. Jan’s response was that as a Navy daughter who had spent many years on the go, she likes to say that she has “an itchy foot.” I think that says it all! Great fun talking on the phone to Joyce Sproul McDaniel, who recently called me from California where she lives in Brentwood, a beautiful neighborhood in Los Angeles. It has been 15 years since she was with us all to celebrate our 50th Reunion weekend at Lincoln. Joyce had been, you may recall, an airline stewardess for 40 plus years. Thus, she is now more than happy to ”stay put” in her home where she has designed and created an outdoor paradise with a colorful garden, a pond, and a waterfall, all of which Joyce cares for by herself. Happily, this year, she has in residence from time to time two mallard ducks, Downy and his mate, Daisy. She places bird seed on two plates for them on her patio, to which they venture forth to chow down, much to Joyce’s delight. Her home, named Shady Wood, is a favorite of a local Brentwood real estate pair who have taken a photo of her home and garden to send out to entice customers to purchase homes in her special neighborhood. She sounds happy, healthy, and in great spirits, and obviously enjoys each and every day in her home in the California sunshine. Christine Chang Yue is a strong and capable woman, and has gone through a difficult and sad time during her husband’s illness and recent death. I know all our classmates join me in sending our thoughts and love to Christine. In her words, “It has been a sad and busy seven months. My husband passed away on November 22, 2017, just a day before Thanksgiving. He was in the ICU for two weeks. The doctor said his illness had no cure, so he ordered the discontinuation of the oxygen (he depended on oxygen 24 hours a day).

A member of Lincoln School’s Class of 1955, she went on to Bradford College after graduation. Professionally, she spent 19 years as the director of volunteer and patient representative services at Rhode Island and Hasbro Children’s Hospital. During her tenure, she designed and implemented the first in-service patient advocate/ ombudsman program in a general hospital in Rhode Island, and the design has since been instituted in hospitals throughout the United States. She was a fierce advocate for patients’ rights, lecturing extensively on the topic, and also spent time as director of volunteer and patient representative services at Women & Infants Hospital, director of the RI Association for the Blind, and assistant director of Volunteers in Action of RI. Drawing inspiration from her family and her desire to help others, Barbara also brought passionate enthusiasm to her volunteer work, and was a dedicated leader in many local organizations. Residing in Barrington, Rhode Island, she was the beloved wife of the late Joseph Parillo for 35 years. Barbara cherished her family, and leaves behind four children, two step-children, eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, two brothers, and many nieces and nephews. Her sister-in-law, Pamela Vose Voss ’66, is also a Lincoln alumna. Barbara remained connected to Lincoln and her classmates throughout her life, and her vibrant optimism came through in the news she shared with her school community.

Brenda “Wendy” Bousefield says, “Besides driving David, my husband, and myself to medical appointments, what can I say about the last year? I am still an avid reader and cook. I delight in exploring Central New York’s small farms and nature centers, meeting Dave’s and my breakfast club, and volunteering at a dental clinic. As a non-medical volunteer, I am always inspired by the dentists, dental assistants, and hygienists who selflessly care for refugees, the recently incarcerated, the homeless, freelance artists, minimum-wage employees, and others unable to afford dental care.” Wendy’s suppressed desire was to throw soap flakes over Niagara Falls which, of course, she never did. Her ambition was to be a social worker. She says she achieved that ambition in an indirect way. She earned a library degree and became a public service librarian, where she learned many different ways to help people. Barbara Batty Brown and her husband will be headed to Amarillo, Texas in August of this year to participate in the Select World Horse Show. Her husband became qualified for this, so now they travel to different horse shows. Barbara’s suppressed desire was to go over the viaduct the wrong way. Fortunately, she never did that. Her ambition was to be a secretary, and she became the executive secretary of Hope and Hospice of Rhode Island.

She worked for the Abel Foundation and was active with philanthropic issues. Anne’s granddaughter is graduating Grade 8 from the Grace Church School in New York City. Her suppressed desire was to be an only child. She has many siblings, and she says they all kept her going with their support so she is happy she wasn’t an only child. Her ambition was to win the 1960 Olympics in skiing. While that didn’t happen, Anne did cross-country skiing, which gave her much joy. Martha Hatch Davis spoke with me for a few minutes. She didn’t have any news to share at this time. Her suppressed desire was to go around the world in a cargo boat and, although that did not happen, she did travel a lot.

Her daughter is a retired teacher and her son directs marathons. Her suppressed desire was to graduate Magna Cum Laude from M.I.T., but she did not. Her ambition was to be an archeologist. Although that didn’t happen, she did live in the middle of ruins at the edge of a National Park— Capitol Reef had lots of rocks! Marilyn Palmer Helmholz enjoys traveling. She and her husband will be going on the Orient Express Train at the end of August this year. They have also been to Paris and Istanbul. She and her husband have lunch in Boston with Neeno and her husband, Charlie. Marilyn’s suppressed desire was to stop eating potato chips. She says she is still eating them. Her ambition was to become a psychoanalyst but it didn’t happen. Carol Alexieff Hilton is still very much involved with political issues. She is deeply dismayed with the administration and its leadership of our country in regards to the environment, as well as other issues. On a happier note, she says, “Three cheers to the head of Lincoln School and the leadership. They are doing an awesome job!” Carol’s suppressed desire was to get out of Rhode Island, which she did. Her ambition was to see the world, which she also did. She has traveled to many places, including an ecological community in Northern Scotland that uses spiritual ways to take care of the planet. She also visited Transylvania, Romania and, as part of that trip, she traveled to Kiev, Ukraine where she met up with a distant cousin. Susan Allan Nilsen is still very involved with many activities. She plays bridge two to three times a week, and continues to volunteer with the Lake Association in her neighborhood. She also volunteers for Meals on Wheels and the Food Bank, and is active in the Senior Center where she is on the Program Committee for Senior Women’s breakfast. She helps decide what speakers to have for the breakfast and the topics they will discuss. Susan is also an avid golfer. She still plays in tournaments, and golfs twice a week. Her suppressed desire was to shoot a 120 in golf, and she tells me that last year she shot her age, 78, and two weeks later shot a 76. She said that was more exciting than the couple of holes-in-one she shot. Her ambition was to become a chemist. She said she never came close to that.

Ann Godfray Parker has a daughter who lives near her in Michigan, and a son who lives in Portland, Oregon. She is hoping they will visit in the fall. Her son has two daughters; one graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and the other

graduated from the University of Kentucky. Her daughter’s daughter graduated from Central Michigan University, and her daughter’s son graduated from college and is working in a golf store. Ann’s suppressed desire was to live in Barbara Batty Brown’s house because Barbara lived next door to Ann’s future husband, Bob. Her ambition was to hang wallpaper because Bob’s family owned and operated the Providence Wallpaper House. Marie McCormick Pauwels and her husband, Ken, are both retired and enjoying life. Marie just returned from two ship trips. For the first trip, she flew to London and took a Princess ship to visit England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Then she boarded a Holland America ship and toured Southern Ireland, Belgium, and Amsterdam. She flew home from Amsterdam. Marie says she is a ship trip addict, and must take at least one ship trip a year. She also loves to travel on river boats. As soon as one trip is over, she begins thinking of the next trip she wants to take. Ken goes to their condo in South Bend, Indiana when it gets too hot in North Carolina, and he stays there until it gets cool again. Marie’s suppressed desire was to conduct the Brown Symphony Orchestra. She says that was strictly wry humor. Her ambition was to be a composer. She majored in music at Brown University and continued her music at Michigan and Purdue. She worked for their radio stations. So although she never actually composed songs, she was very active with music. Sandra “Sandy” Moeller Peterson and her husband enjoy going to the Hartford Stage Company to see plays. They have a son who lives with them, and another son who lives in Memphis, Tennessee. Her granddaughter graduated from Georgetown, where she earned a degree in contemporary Middle East studies. Sandy’s suppressed desire was to join the U.S. Army, but she never did. Her ambition was to be an artist, but she wasn’t. Lorraine Louttit Sterling says her husband became certified as a BBQ judge. She and Harry go around New England and New York to judge BBQ contests. They really enjoy this. Lorraine’s suppressed desire was to be thin. She says it still is her desire. Her ambition was to get married, and she did. Frances “Frankie” Trumbull Webb paints for pleasure. The art show she attended last year was very enjoyable. She paints watercolors. In August of this year, she hopes to attend the Providence Art Club. She says she had a good education at Lincoln. Her suppressed desire was to be a writer. She tells me she is glad that didn’t happen. Her ambition was to be calm and collected which I’m sure she still is. Caroline “Cowie” Coward Wood has been busy attending graduations. One grandson

Connie Almy McGill ’57 and her husband, Darwin, on Christmas 2017.

graduated from high school, and another will graduate soon. Both schools are in New Hampshire. Another grandchild graduated from college in the South, and is getting a Master’s degree in pharmacology. Cowie and her husband, Dean, get together regularly with Sandra Moeller Peterson and her husband. Cowie’s suppressed desire was to be a second Joni James. She says she is not a singer and can’t recall why that was her suppressed desire. Her ambition was to live in Norway. Although she doesn’t live there, she has traveled to Norway and lived with a family there. Camille D’Ugo Pitocco had a very busy month of May. “Vic and I celebrated 56 years of marriage on May 5. Our youngest daughter celebrated 31 years of marriage on May 2. Her oldest daughter graduated from college on May 11 and has been accepted to graduate school. Her youngest daughter graduated from high school on May 25 and has been accepted into North Texas State University. On May 17, I turned 80 years old. Where did the time go? All of my children, grandchildren, and great-granddaughter, as well as my sister, Angela D’Ugo DeCesaris ’60, and her daughter and son-in-law helped me celebrate. My suppressed desire was to take care of the U.S. male. However, I have been taking care of only one male, my awesome husband. My ambition was to be a child psychologist. That didn’t materialize, however, I became a special education teacher and I am still teaching. I hope I will be able to talk with more of you in the fall. Until then, enjoy life to the fullest and stay healthy!

Mimi and her husband, Martin, then travelled to Boston to welcome their first granddaughter, who had just been born. She now has six granddaughters and, as she said, “We have been blessed.” Jean Ochs Nutini has been retired from General Dynamics Electric Boat Division in Groton, Connecticut for 24 years, and is enjoying various activities with a group of neighborhood friends. “Life is good,” she writes. “My days are varied and full.” Before attending Lincoln, Jean and Jane Arcaro At right, Chad, son of Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim '59, Scola were classmates at Henry with his husband, Adam, and their daughter, Nina, Barnard School, located at that Suzy's sixth grandchild. time on the site of the present-day Providence Place Mall.

Jane Arcaro Scola 11 Bluff Road Barrington, RI 02806 email: jascola@cox.net Betsy Horton Ingraham and Jane Arcaro Scola had lunch with Debbie Jordan Grant at a restaurant on Hope Street in Providence during the first week in June. After lunch, they did a short shopping tour in the neighborhood, and had great fun exploring some of the quaint shops along the way and making a few purchases. Debbie and her husband had been living in Newport, Rhode Island, but sold their home there and just recently bought a lovely apartment at Laurelmead in Providence. They are getting used to their new surroundings, and are already engaged in some of the activities available to them. They are renting a home in Newport for the summer. Connie Almy McGill: “We live pretty much in the slow lane these days. Unseasonably hot July temperatures occurring as I write this. Not welcome, for sure. Darwin has had a few minor health issues, but we are blessed to be so healthy for our ages. All the blended family is well and ever so busy. Great-grands taking swimming lessons. Emma, age 3, was swimming like a fish in October. I continue to play in bridge and canasta groups, and will be Treasurer of the Shakespeare Club of Mount Vernon.

1958 | 60th Reunion Class Scribe: Suzanne Young Murray 33 Peaked Rock Lane Narragansett, RI 02882 email: symxmas40@gmail.com Nancy Boghossian Keeler writes, “My granddaughter, Daphne Patton, has just graduated from high school in New Jersey. She will be heading west to the University of Michigan in the fall, where she joins her brother, Keeler, who will be entering his junior year there. I continue to see Sue Young Murray regularly through our book group. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to stay in touch. This past winter I had dinner with Betty Grossman at her lovely Cambridge apartment—so wonderful to catch up. Otherwise, I wish I could see more of my Lincoln classmates, and I'm really looking forward to our reunion in September. I don't have any big plans for the summer. Maybe some weekends in Maine with my daughter, or visits to Rhode Island to see family there. I continue to work two days a week at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. If any of you are planning to visit the museum, please get in touch so we can meet for lunch.” Kate Lee: Just home from a two-week bike

trip in Provence, followed by an extra week living la vie francaise in Nimes. My bigger news is that my granddaughter, Lina, defended her thesis this week at the University of Gothenburg. Heavens to Betsy, are we all getting that old?! Cheers to all from alligator-infested Florida. Suzanne Young Murray: We have our 60th Reunion coming up very soon–Friday and Saturday, September 21 and 22, to be exact. It's a biggie, so I hope we can gather a crowd and have lots of fun remembering what a great group of lovelies we were, and catching up on how life has been treating us of late. That is all pretty much still in the planning stages for us, but I know it will be special just to be together once again. Marjorie McCaffrey DeAngelis and Suzanne Young Murray joined the Lincoln School community on May 3 to mark an important moment in the school’s history– the grand opening of the STEAM Hub for Girls.

1959 Class Scribe: Judith Austin 24 Widgeon Lane Westport, MA 02790 email: merryjudy41@gmail.com Judith Austin: Bob Armknecht and I were married on July 21 at Acoaxet Chapel in Westport. My sister, Bethany Austin Jester ’62, was my matron of honor, my daughter, Wendy Kilborn ’87, was my maid of honor, and my granddaughter, Allison, was the flower girl. My two sons, Geordie and Benjamin, escorted me in. Bob’s son, Bob, Jr., was his best man. Among our guests were Linda Breymeier Holmes and Nobby, and Alice Drew Turner and Mac. Photo to follow, “God willing and the crick don’t rise.” We enjoyed a trip to Scotland and England, seeing Shetland and Orkney Islands, Balmoral, and other pretty places blooming with gorse and bluebells, in May. As usual, Randa Bishop was in Patmos, Greece for the whole summer. “It's a beautiful and historical island where it is said St. John wrote the Book of Revelations.” Classmates can read some of the island's history and also see some of Randa’s photos of it at www.patmosvilla.com. Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim plans to be in Westport after August 21 for a week, and Alice Drew Turner, Linda Breymeier Holmes, and Judith Austin hope to see her then. Susan Lynch Ruddy writes, “Fifty-nine years ago we were newly-minted Lincoln alums, and I think I can safely say (at least from this vantage point) that every one of those years has been enriching. Fifty-two years later I retired, moved into my little house in Halibut Cove, Alaska, and began the first of all the years since spending winters in Indonesia, where my daughter, Lydia, and her husband, Tariq Khalil, live and work in Jakarta. And these years have been fascinating. Life didn’t begin at 70, but it seems as if every year since then has been richer,

3329

CLASSNOTES more fascinating, and easier! Is it just that the dense-packed years of family and work are behind? I am hugely grateful for the amazing life I now lead between two wildly different cultures. It is pure joy to be quietly at home in my house on a small, roadless island with eagles in my spruce trees, views of sea otters, whales, and seals in the bay below me, and the ever-changing light on the mountains and ice fields across the water for the summer. And it is fascinating to muddle my way around Indonesia in my broken Bahasa for the six winter months when Alaska is icy and chill. Neither of my offspring are in Alaska anymore; sigh. Lydia has been in Indonesia for twelve years now, and Sean and his wonderful wife, Pauline, moved to London last January. Sean is what I now know is called “a trailing spouse;” Pauline had an offer she could not refuse from BP and Sean is the lucky man who got to trail along! They are loving it; travels to the continent are easy, and Sean walks their big husky dog by the Thames every day— before he cooks dinner! My brother, Ralph, and his wife, Tina, are still here in Alaska, however, so I am not family-less. And my brother, Bill, still lives in Rhode Island. My too-brief and slightly green (indiscretion re: food on my last night in Jakarta!) layover in San Francisco this year did allow a short visit with Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim, her husband, David, and Connie Worthington ’62, who happened to be visiting her brother nearby. Even all these years later, or perhaps maybe more so now than ever, I do believe Lincoln women are special. Or maybe it is just that we have a special bond. I send my warm greetings to all of you other Lincoln women. I have not seen you for too long, and my wishes are that your lives are richer every year.” Pat McKinnon Williams-Dernavich and Rodney continue to be busy between Rhode Island and Florida, and are now Florida residents so must be out of Rhode Island for six months. Both play golf. They also enjoy travel, and last March they took a 15-day Viking Ocean Mediterranean cruise from Barcelona to Venice. “Fabulous, even with some chilly weather. We love Viking!! Our second grandchild, Cyrus Xavier Williams, turned one on May 17. He and his sister, Maisie, live in Asheville, North Carolina, where their dad is the District Attorney. Our daughter, Katie, lives in Houston, Texas, and is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist at Houston Methodist.” Pat and Rodney both volunteer at South County Hospital and, for the sixteenth year, she is Chair of the Hospital Auxiliary Fashion Show in June at the Dunes Club. The event continues to sell out each year with over 325 women; proceeds help fund equipment for the hospital.

1960 Class Scribe: Jacquelyn Savoie Medina 13 Stryker Lane Clinton, NY 13323 email: jamedina@hamilton.edu Ginny McKinnon Dernavich: I haven't written in a while, but life has been busy. Isn't that the way we like it! We've been doing our share of traveling over the last few years and loving it. We've graduated from seeing Europe in a rental and sort of going where we want to cruises, which are a little easier on the old bods. For our 50th wedding anniversary, we took our kids and grandkids to Italy for two weeks. We stayed in the most amazing apartments in Rome and Venice, and then rented a villa in Tuscany just outside Florence for sightseeing in that area. So much fun to share our love of Italy with them. We've also taken two cruises with my sister Pat McKinnon Williams-Dernavich ’59 and her husband, Rod (who is my husband's brother! Yes, they're married). We did an Adriatic Cruise to Croatia and Turkey, ending up in Venice, and from there went up to Lake Como. Just beautiful! We also took a Viking Cruise through the Baltic Sea, which included St. Petersburg and Berlin. Our older son, Drew, lives in New York City. Along with being a cartoonist with The New Yorker magazine, he is working on his second book. Our younger son, Jeff, is married and lives in Atlanta. He just left IBM, and is now a VP with a new start-up computer software company. He has two children, Carter (14) and Lindsey (16)...the delights of our lives. We manage to get down there every 2-3 months. We are blessed to have a daughter-in-law who has an open door policy when it comes to our visits. I am retired and Paul is semi-retired. He loves being a sales rep, and has found he can work from either here in Massachusetts or our place in Florida. We are avid golfers (reluctant ex-tennis players), and really enjoy our winter time in Ft. Myers. We are facing those years, as most of us are, where we are going to have to make some decisions on downsizing and picking one place to live. We don't know if that will be Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Florida, or Atlanta. Ha ha...too many choices!! I can't believe we are 75! It seems like yesterday that we were walking the halls of Lincoln...waiting for the bell to ring so we could take off those awful uniform shoes and put on loafers. Great times. Martha Curit Hough: Walter and I continue to be content with our decision to live in Savannah full time. The Landings is truly a wonderful, active, and friendly community of energetic, interesting, and supportive folks of all ages. And Savannah is a magical city! We miss being close to family, and it will never, ever, really feel like home...but, it is a great place to try to grow old as gracefully as possible. We are learning that aging

is not easy…no doubt many of us in the class of ’60 might share that sentiment! Fortunately, we both are able to play golf several times a week, love to read and do crossword puzzles, and I have learned to rather like Mahjong. While I guess my gardening days are pretty much behind me (thanks to the deer more than anything else!), I am still painting, and have even recently received a Landings Art Association award for my macro botanical photography. Right now, as the Savannah heat is already upon us, we are really looking forward to a trip to Alaska in July, and then, at summer’s end, several relaxing weeks in Rhode Island. I plan to visit the new STEAM Hub for Girls addition at Lincoln. I expect quite a transformation at 301 Butler Avenue, and the attention to the arts puts a smile on my face! Wishing you all the best of summer activities with family and friends—and if you find yourself anywhere near Savannah in the coming year…y’all be sure to let us know! We love showing off the Georgia Lowcountry! Anne Cutter Warren: Steve and I are very busy in the spring and summer keeping up our new home and 41-plus acres in Homer, New York (FYI–Cortland is the mailing address because Homer is such a small town). There's lots to do to keep up with all the mowing, vegetable garden, and our other gardens. We both really enjoy being outside and watching the wildlife around us. Our daughter, Sandy, lives next door, and we are so proud of her son, Josh. Josh graduated magna cum laude from Le Moyne College in Syracuse this month. He will be attending Syracuse University this fall to get his Master's degree in mechanical engineering. Our son was married this spring (on St. Patrick's Day) in Cape Coral, Florida. They had a beautiful outside wedding in Ft. Myers. Our daughter, Wendy, still lives outside of Yosemite National Park, and also enjoys nature and what that area has to offer.

Gerianne Fulton Ahlberg: We are enjoying being back in Chicago with grandchildren, family, and friends after a "warm" winter in Tucson. Biking along Lake Michigan and an improved golf game on Midwest courses vs. the dry courses of Arizona are adding to the joy of being here. Last spring, my daughter, her husband, and the four girls–ages 13, 11, 9, and 7–joined us for a week of skiing in Snowmass, Colorado. Always fun to spend a week skiing with them, even though they make it down the mountain much faster than my husband, Jim, and I do. On our drive back to Chicago, we spent some time in Santa Fe, New Mex-

Glenie Brewster Austin: Hi all, decided to go all out since I'm not getting any younger. Bought a F150 Ford truck to run around in and a boat to tow around with it! I have a lake house on Green Pond in New Jersey, and both will be useful. Oh, and a granddaughter aptly named Lake in GP who is 5, and a grandson, Mark, who is two-and-a-half and resides in Buffalo. My babysitting duties interfere with golf and bridge somewhat, but I feel so blessed to have them in my life. Hope everyone in the class of What? 1962! is happy and healthy. Looking forward to reading about you! Barbara Getzoff Huff: I'm one-and-a-half years cancer free and enjoying every moment. I leave for Scandinavia shortly, and am looking forward to a wonderful ocean cruise. I was honored to be selected as Woman of the Year by Valley Outreach Synagogue, and feted at a great party on the residential streets of CBS Studios. My granddaughters are 12- and 14years-old, and both love their annual Hawaiian summer vacation. My son and daughter are enjoying their work for Allergan and Netflix, respectively. I'm living in gratitude and so happy to be able to focus on enjoying family and travel adventures. Onward we go! Bethany Austin Jester: Greetings, Happy Summer Solstice. As you can see, we continue to harvest our crop of avocados (sold under the Linda Vista label). This year's was quite small, but next April should be good. We also continue to travel extensively for our business, Paleo Facts, in search of minerals and fossils. Check out www.paleofacts.com. Our next show is in September at the Crowne Plaza in Aurora, Colorado. Other news is that my sister, Judy Austin '59, is getting married in Westport, Massachusetts at the end of July. Leven and I will be in New England from 7/11 - 7/24. Hope to see some classmates then. Ann Langdon and her spouse, Drew Days, continue to split their time (as much as possible) between New Haven and El Paso where the grandkids (Frida and Georgia) are, and are doing well.

She says, "This walk was on my list for a long time, and we decided to do it before we got too old. It was wonderful with great weather, incredibly kind people, and beautiful countryside. I'm doing the Dolomites Grand Traverse in the Italian Alps with a friend in September—a very different type of challenge.” Judith McCaffrey: Hi everyone! I hope everyone is well and–for those of you living on the East Coast–enjoying the summer that has finally arrived. I continue my split personality of working as a corporate/bank regulatory lawyer each day until about 1:45 and then I magically become a granny nanny. My granddaughter, Blu, is just finishing up first grade. Living in New York City, our afternoons are always filled with adventures. Blu is great at tae kwon do and loves her piano lessons. She decided that she could do a better job than Beethoven, and wrote her own "Ode to Joy by Blu." Right now, Pokemon is her latest obsession. For her seventh birthday, her mother and I took Blu to Disneyland in California. I even went on the Space Mountain ride, which was a big mistake. My last big trip overseas was to Vietnam, which I loved. In December, over the Christmas holidays, I am off to Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. Ever since reading one of Agatha Christie's mysteries that takes place in Petra, I have been wanting to see it in person for myself. My son, daughter-in-law, Blu, and I will be making our annual trek to Rhode Island in early July. We all look forward to spending time with my family and enjoying Rhode Island's wonderful beaches. And, while New York City seems to have it all, it does not have johnny cakes, clam cakes, cabinets, doughboys, coffee milk, grinders, or bubblers. Nancy Robinson Van Tuyle: Now that I am three years into residence in a condo and living in a homeowners association, I am finally feeling that I am “home.” I chair the landscape committee, overseeing a large campus of about 15 acres. I am loving the responsibilities of making the community even more beautiful than it is currently. It has forced me to become better acquainted with native flora, and has helped me adjust to the loss of a big garden in my former single family residence. I do love the freedom of “lock and leave.” In fact, 36 as I am writing this, I am on Nantucket Is-

land. This is our third year renting a home here. It soothes my New England roots. It just happens that the Nantucket book festival coincided with my vacation here, and I was able to meet up with Alice Hoffman and Claire Messud, both of whom I am trying to recruit for the Library Council in Los Angeles. I remain on the boards of Blue Ribbon and the Library Council of the Library Foundation. We had a very successful “Children’s Festival,” hosting 18,000 Grade 5 students over three days at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. And the Library Council raised $1.5 million for the L.A. Public Library and its 72 branches during our bi-annual Literary Feasts event last October. Fifty homeowners in Beverly Hills and environs hosted 50 authors at dinner parties. I attended the dinner for Abraham Verghese, Cutting For Stone. In the past, I have attended dinners for Scott Berg and Scott Turow. It has been a real intellectual pursuit to read and then meet various authors. Our membership is 450–a rather large “book club” that hosts an author about once a month at a luncheon. Finally, in August, Marty and I will be off to Strasbourg, France for 10 days. I have never been there. So, another adventure! Keep your news coming any time. I will save it for our next Bulletin. Connie Worthington: I write (mid-June) from the little house in the Black Hills where Terry and I retreat 4-5 times a year, sometimes with friends and family (Christmas 2016 included), most often just the two of us. Terry lectures for Brown Travelers alumni trips (Swiss Alps and Italian Lakes in October, Canadian Rockies this August), and his professional workshops/ meetings will take us to Palm Springs, DC, and New Orleans in 2018, and possibly Liverpool. I had my 50th Pembroke reunion over Memorial Day, starting with the almost-annual dinner of Mike Carley’s fraternity, as we all examined the Vietnam War under the tutelage of Tim O’Brien, Ken Burns, and Lynn Novak. The two most crazy-special reunions began with four days in Mountain View with Bill and Sue Worthington after more than a year since seeing each other. Then a SFO rendezvous with my two big sisters as Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim ’59 met Susan Lynch Ruddy ’59 on her annual touchdown between Indonesia (winter) and Alaska (summer): patient and wonderful David Rosprim squired us from the funky vibes of the Castro to the glorious beaches of the Coastal Highway to the SFO airport for farewells and homeward flights. What a privilege to join my Suzy and Susan. A whirlwind two days!

And our South Dakota Road Trek, during which we drove from the Black Hills to Death Valley two years ago. We always find something new and dazzling in the West. Last summer it was Teddy Roosevelt’s National Park, sharing a campground with a small buffalo herd. Just this week we joined a big herd, elders shedding their winter layers and little guys gamboling off to run back for reassurance. Custer State Park is a short trip from our place in the Hills. Michael and his family retreat to the woods of Chepachet each August from the rigors of life in Green Bay battling the invasive milfoil that chokes our lake but also unites our pond neighbors. We celebrate Christmas in Providence with the young Carleys and cousin Sandy Scott ’55. Our base is Providence: for Terry’s ongoing research and my nonprofits–but primarily because I’ll travel anywhere, but I’m not moving again. Life is full of Lincoln–regular meals with classmates Linda Fain and Sandy Koerner, precious and spontaneous calls with Ann Langdon, get togethers with former students—Liz Ames ’75, Naydine Gergora Rock ’76, and Rachel Siegel ’76, among others—and stewardship of the Providence Shelter for Colored Children with Kilah Walters-Clinton ’95, who’ll receive the Alumnae Citation Award at our Alumnae Luncheon in September. Why not join me on September 21? Let’s celebrate our school, our girls, our legacy!

1966 Class Scribe: Deborah Devaney Barton 14 Echo Drive Barrington, RI 02806 email: devaney@jedbarton.com Anne Kelleher: I’m living in Richmond, Virginia to be a companion to my very elderly aunt and for a change of scene. Richmond is wonderful! Lovely old architecture, great museums, friendly people, easy to get around by car, and more Confederate monuments than anyone needs. I plan to stay here when this gig with my aunt is over, at least until my kids make me come back to Massachusetts so they can monitor my health and safety. That should be some years away. Priscilla Borden Sibley: On May 8, my husband, Don, and I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Lincoln School Chicago event. We had a lovely dinner at Steak 48 in Chicago. There were about 12 Lincoln grads, parents, and staff. It was great fun learning about what's going on at Lincoln and how much has changed. It was also reassuring to hear that the core values of Lincoln are being shared with new generations. We shared many stories and laughed a lot. If you receive an invitation to a Lincoln alumnae event in your area, I'd urge you to re-connect! I retired about 11 years ago from the Oak Park, Illinois school district, where I was providing technology support to teachers. I'm busy now with our daughter and four grandchildren, who also live in Oak Park. I caught the quilting bug, and eventually got Don interested as well. Wherever we go, we're always on the lookout for a quilt shop. On April 23, Karen Estes and Heather MacLeod returned to Lincoln for a special reception for alumnae and past parents. The event preceded an evening talk by Dina Nayeri, an acclaimed author and the 2018 Paolino Speaker.

In Memory of Patty DeVlieg ’67 Stacy Lagerquist MacLaine: "We had some big fun and never got arrested!" Mary Grosvenor Winkes: "I remember Patty as being lovely and kind." Elizabeth “Brownie” Jackson: "I will always remember her leading us with her fabulous spirit at step-singing." Kate Tower-Ludwig: "I have very fond memories of the year she lived with us—she was a good friend." Marianna Freeman Richardson: Patty was the smartest, most creative person I've ever known. She wrote plays which we performed (who else remembers the CFR club?). She made up board games that were great fun to play. She created an entire fantasy world in the woods below Moses Brown (before they bulldozed it all and put in the football field). We had wonderful summers at Cragged Mountain Farm in New Hampshire. Visiting her home was always an adventure - getting her brothers mad at us and then running for our lives. And this was all in elementary school and junior high! She was passionate and intense, and I loved her. Joy Hoffacker: I hold you all close in my heart tonight as I read the sad news about Patty. The DeVliegs came to Rhode Island because my father and hers started a company together. I met Patty when we visited her in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Her father was crazy, her mother served the kids caviar as a snack, and her brothers were right out of Dobie Gillis. The family fascinated me, but it was Patty whom I adored. She taught me how to draw a lion. It was the only thing I've ever been able to draw. The partnership did not last, my dad asked to be bought out, and the families never socialized. When I started at Lincoln in the 7th grade, I was delighted to meet up with Patty again. She was fresh, natural, unabashedly her own person, off the charts brilliant, always upbeat, and loving. She had her crazy nose and long hair that would fling as she animatedly spoke. Was she ever mad at someone? Did she ever have a bad word for anyone? Didn't she sing? Wasn't she magnificent as Queen Elizabeth with Ann Biderman Cooper in Freshman Plays? Wasn't she always a natural leader? This is what I remember after 50 years. What treasured memories have I forgotten? I saw Patty again, I guess 20 years ago. She looked exactly the same, had the same straightforward, endearing manner, and had developed into a beautiful woman. I loved visiting with her again. I wonder what inane comment I wrote in her yearbook in 1967? What would I write if I could go back now? Maybe, "Patty, at 18 I don't have the maturity to truly appreciate your uncensored, untethered intelligence and enthusiasm for life, your disinterest in societal norms and restrictive stereotypes of teenage girls, your unconditional love and acceptance of your classmates. Your friendship has been a gift. Thank you." Gale Jenks Goff: I'm so saddened to learn of Patty's passing. She was a brilliant, unique woman with no reservations about charting her own course. I remember walking through the neighborhood to play at her house, tumbling under the piano as her brother was playing and running through the rooms upstairs, giggling as we went. She never lost that childlike quality, even in high school. Lida Stinchfield: I am SO sad to hear about Patty. She was so full of life. Strong, fierce, smart, and funny. Yet another reminder about how precious life is and to live to the fullest every day. Cannot believe she and India are gone. India Stevens Trinley came up to New Hampshire for a visit from NYC in the mid ‘70s.

Dear Classmates, I’m a terrible class secretary. I procrastinate, miss deadlines, and am way too rusty on my computer

CLASSNOTES skills. What I do have is affection and admiration for each and every one of you. The reunion made me realize how much I missed through the decades by not staying in touch. I reached out to some of you through an imperfect email list, and I’m working to update the contacts. I asked everyone to tell me what delights them in this moment and to send pictures. I sincerely apologize to anyone whose notes I’ve lost or posted incorrectly. Gale Jenks Goff has invited us all to her lovely home in Newport on Sunday, August 26 at 2 p.m. for a repeat of the lovely brunch we had in September. Mary Ann Hatch Silverstein will be there from El Paso, Texas, and I’m coming in from Portland, Oregon. I’m hoping we can stretch this out to three events, perhaps adding a day at the beach and an informal restaurant dinner. I have started a Facebook page for our class. Search Lincoln School Class of ’67 and request to join. It is a closed group. Also feel free to email me at joyhoffacker@gmail.com. This is an email just for Lincoln news. And if you miss me, sit down with a glass of iced tea or white wine after 5 PDT and call me at 908-456-0260. Gale Jenks Goff: When I look in the mirror, I'm so surprised to see my 68-year-old face looking back. I'm wrinklier, flabbier, and creakier than my Lincoln girl self could have imagined, but life is good. Nevertheless, I would give anything for a day in my 18year-old body! Ahhh! Life turned out a lot different than I expected; I developed latent talents that I didn't know I had, but sadly let some innate talents slip away. I can barely croak out an Ooohhhmmm at yoga, but I can diagram a steel moment frame. Who would have guessed? I've had professional and life challenges, but more than my fair share of accomplishments and satisfactions, and I am so grateful for all my friends, family, and life experiences. Peter and I are living in Newport, which is a fabulous town, and we are working on our bucket list and visiting kids. We traveled to the south of France and Vietnam last year, and we're planning a trip to Ireland at the end of the summer. Now if we could just get rid of a certain someone in the White House. Quick broadcast that I forgot. I’d love to have another brunch for anyone who is in or near Rhode Island on August 26 at 2 p.m. Hopefully Mary Ann Hatch Silverstein will be in town, and a shout out to Pamela Nelson Erskine, Wendy Fain Feldman, and Nancy Lewis, who we got to see Saturday night but missed at brunch last year. I’ll get back in touch with more details. Lida Stinchfield: Life delights: I retired five years ago and LOVE not being scheduled to the max with a long to-do list! My daughter lives in northern Michigan, my son in Toronto, and my sister in South Carolina, so some of my time is spent driving long distances to see those I love. I live in a very sweet small town and love the community.

I have a beloved dog, walk, KNIT, kayak, read. Tend the small garden. YOGA, biking a bit. Life is good. I have not been partnered for a long time, but since the hormone changes (bet you are familiar with that!), I don’t mind it too much. I have my dog and lots of friends so stay very active. I just cannot do the computer dating thing; I know so many people but the right guy has not appeared for quite a while. I look forward to Gale’s get-together in the summer. Marianna Freeman Richardson: Joy—I love the question—what delights you? My garden (flowers, mostly perennials), yoga classes, water exercise classes, Parkinson's support groups—all the friends in all those activities. My church community, retirement with Bob, my family. Laughing with my 97-year-old Mom. My kids and grandkids. Sharing memories with old friends, renewing friendships. Being lucky enough to still be on the planet at almost 69!! Loving any good adventure. Bonnie MacLeod Thompson: Hi everyone, Thank you, Joy, for keeping us connected! Reunion was so interesting on so many levels—old friends, new friends, similar Lincoln experiences/ feelings hidden for so long, jobs, family, retirement, visiting present day Lincoln, and our enduring love of adventure. Taking chances in life has great rewards as we have all discovered. It is heartwarming to hear that you continue your quests for new experiences! I’m “delighted” with all your responses. I’m also delighted by the wonders of nature, travel, gardening, genealogy, and reading. Yes, me who hated to read, now loves to. That brings to mind how gloriously Patty [Patricia DeVlieg] could paint a picture with words. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. Looking forward to August and more time together. Thanks, Gale! Gretchen Heisler Ecclestone: Delights are the times spent with family. Ed and I got into the children loop late. Both my handsome young men were adopted as infants in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They are off on their own (more or less) now and provide us with opportunities to travel to NYC and more locally. Winter still bring us north to ski. Spring, summer and fall provide us with the challenges of trying to pick tomatoes, apples, blueberries, and miscellaneous vegetables ahead of the deer. We are working our way through the house trying to consolidate, eliminate, and pass on items that others might use. I try to give the best items to our local Cushing School Center for their thrift store; some goes to the Vietnam Vets; a textile drop-off box at the recycling center takes care of ratty clothes and leftover pieces of fabric from sewing projects; and the transfer station in Jackson, New Hampshire gets a variety of games, books, small appliances. Maybe we will get rid of the clutter within my lifetime (maybe!).

I am happy to have friends to walk with; fortunate to have been married to Ed going on 45 years, and still having fun; and adult children who bring both joy and occasional exasperation to life. Wouldn’t change a thing. All my best! Gretchen Joy Hoffacker: Fifty years! And where did it go? An MBA at UVA led to 20 years in and out of Latin America, back to the US in Miami, New Jersey, and now settling in Portland, Oregon, living in a floating home on the Columbia River near my daughter. I so loved all three days of the reunion. I regret letting my friendships languish for decades. What a wonderful group of friends you all were! Nancy Lewis: Gale, that sounds lovely! It was so much fun seeing everyone at the reunion so count me in. Joanne Blount Dahmer: Life has its ups and downs and I have had both this past year since I saw our classmates last fall. My husband had a heart attack and a double bypass and my daughter is pregnant, due in October! Beyond that, my life work has been validated this past month or so and it gives me such satisfaction and grace. I was one of those teachers who got a dismissal notice- the school administration was eliminating my position. This is the second time I would be let go, losing my job in the last eight years. What to do? I am not ready to retire and truly love what I do, which is teach Foods and Nutrition to High School students. I have built up my program and created a lot of interest in the last four years. The students were so incensed they wouldn't have me or my classes that they tweeted all over the place. The teachers spoke up for me about how I have made the program so valuable to the school that the administration had to listen and reinstate me, finding the money to keep my program in place. Such validation of my work! It was humbling and satisfying at the same time. So I will still be teaching next fall and hopefully the next as well! Glenna Mathes Moalli: I was laid off five years ago from my social work job at the hospital where I had worked for 41 years! However, after getting my head back on straight, I threw myself into more volunteer endeavors. I am president of the board of a small residential home for the elderly that is in my neighborhood and actually moved my sister, Carla Mathes Woodward ’63, into the home five years ago, where she stayed until recently. I also am the "volunteer" beach manager of our beach club which allows me to still get quality beach time but also organize the daily duties at the beach. Gives me a chance to meet new people and socialize with many as they visit the beach. We still go to Vermont weekends during the winter, and I still ski. Nice to get away to some peaceful days in VT.

CLASSNOTES

May gathering of the Class of 1968 at Luciano's in Wrentham.

1968 | 50th Reunion

this together and I am hoping we can all make it.

Linda Bienenfeld Cherney: After living many years in Chicago, Jim and I moved to Wheat Ridge, Colorado three years ago. We are both retired. One of our sons and his wife live a short drive away; our other son and his wife and toddler live in Manhattan, so we are making more trips back to the East Coast than previously. We are enjoying the sunny Colorado weather and the opportunity to easily access hiking trails and participate in a variety of outdoor activities. We are planning to be in Rhode Island in September to attend our Class Reunion.

Life in Portland is still wonderful and continues to amaze me with its friendliness and coincidental occurrences. It seems many life threads travel through Oregon. I spent a long weekend in Utah in May and loved it. The red rocks around Capitol Reef are stunning. Hoping for lots of golf in my future!

Cathy Brown: Members of the Class of 1968 who live locally gather in the spring and in the fall for an informal luncheon at Luciano's in Wrentham, Massachusetts. Each time we have gathered over the past three years, there's been a different group of classmates who have come. We always have lively conversations on a wide range of topics. The location works out well as we literally gather from north, south, east and west of the restaurant. These gatherings have now become a tradition. As long as we have class interest, we will continue to do them. We hope that more classmates who live in the area will want to join us for future luncheons. There will be no fall luncheon this year, for it's hard to believe we will be gathering at school for our 50th reunion. Many classmates have said, “how can it possibly be?”

1969 Class Scribe: Karen “Taffy’ Wells 5620 N. Hudson Street Portland, OR 97203 email: taf@gci.net “June 6, 2018 was our 49th graduation anniversary. So you know what that means, time to gear up for our big 50th Class Reunion. Thanks in advance to all who put

I would like to send condolences to Margie Barrett Holzman on the passing of her husband, Steve. I had the pleasure of meeting him on two occasions and found him to be a very kind and gentle soul. I also know from Facebook that Rebecca Selle Johanson spent much of the spring relocating her mom to assisted living, and moving/selling their home on Meeting Street. Good work Rebecca, know that is challenging work. Nancy Zametkin LaPolla, here’s to quick healing from your knee surgery.” Anne Worrell O’Neil wrote: “I guess the biggest news is that we have our first grandchild. John O’Neil “Jack” Dumville was born to our daughter Kelsey and her husband Adam last August 26.They live in New Hampshire but are contemplating a move closer to Rhode Island which I wouldn’t hate at all! Our oldest daughter Katie was married last July at our house and she and her husband live in Melrose, Massachusetts in a duplex they rehabbed. Youngest daughter Molly is living the dream in Livingston, Montana, working as a guide in Yellowstone Park and fly-fishing with her boyfriend every chance they get. I want to come back as my kids in my next life! Jim and I are busy with our house in Narragansett and our cottage on Block Island that we rent out in the summers.” Deb Davis Gedney wrote:. “Retired. Taking care of newborn, two 2-year-olds and one 5-year-old grandchild along with a 5-month-old labrador retriever. Teaching tai chi, Pilates, and yoga. Selling heirloom

Anne Worrell O’Neil ’69 with her grandson, Jack. tomatoes wholesale to restaurants in Newport, Rhode Island.” Deb, your life is full of many adventures! Thank goodness for retirement! Laurel Davis Huber: “It seems that Lincoln connections are growing with the years, which I find both remarkable and heartening. Getting sentimental in my old age, I guess. In March I was in Providence for a brilliant concert by Antoinette Van Zabner at the Music Mansion. She and her partner played to a full house, and Antoinette provided charming commentary for the various pieces. Also attending were fellow classmates Nancy Zametkin Lapolla and Karen Constantineau Letourneau. The next day I met with Roz Rustigian for lunch before hitting the road. In May, at my 45th Smith Reunion, I caught up with Frannie Lord Niles for the first time in ages, and she hasn't changed one bit! Then in June I went to speak at a book club in New Canaan, Connecticut and had a great time at the home of Addie Bodell Milhaupt, who attended Lincoln from 3-year-old group through 9th grade.” Good work, Laurel, on your book and all the updates of classmates, much appreciated. Lynn Karlsson wrote: “Have been happily retired for the past year or so. Am still living in Uppsala, Sweden, but do try to make it over to the US once a year to visit family who have moved to Virginia. Enjoying a single life now, although I did have a wonderful 20 years as a (two) cat lady. Keeping busy with genealogy - what else - and catching up on reading, but still do some editing /translating of my former colleagues’ work in economic history, just 39 to keep my hand in.

Allison Dillon Kimmerle ’69 and her family at the wedding of her son, Ben.

It’s nice to see posts from classmates on FB. You all have such interesting lives, displaying brilliance through your art, photos and families. I hope we can reconnect in October 2019.” Allison Dillon Kimmerle: For the past two years I have spent most of my time on Nantucket. I am working full-time at Bartlett's Farm, a family farm and garden center that has been run by the same family for six generations. It is more fun and inspiration than I have had from a job in a very long time. I feel so fortunate to love going to work every day! I continue to do boarding school advising, working with a couple of families every year. Ken spends the winter in New Hampshire... after 38 years of marriage, this works for us. Our oldest, Ben, was married last September in Cincinnati and we had a blast. He and his wife are now in Brooklyn. Our younger son, Sam, lives in Wyoming, although there is talk of a move to Maine. We are hopeful for the latter. We're all healthy and enjoying life in our respective ways! Addie Bodell Milhaupt: I can honestly say that reconnecting with my classmates at Lincoln has been a highlight of the last year or so! So much fun getting to know everyone again. After graduating with a degree in Natural Resources from The University of Michigan (My job skill being a Forest Ranger!), I moved to NYC and worked in the corporate bond department at Morgan Stanley. I married Peter Milhaupt who was the brother of a friend at boarding school and we moved to New Canaan, CT in 1981 after the birth of our first daughter, the first of three. We were moved to London by First Boston, now Credit Suisse for almost five years where my third daughter was born. We moved back to New Canaan where we have been ever since. Well, almost! We moved to Charleston, SC

(Kiawah Island) in 2008, but we left and came back to New Canaan as Peter never retired as planned. I lived there alone for four years with his occasional visits and he was in an apartment back north! So enough, we sold up and have no plans to retire anywhere else! I also became an EMT for the town of New Canaan which was my most favorite thing ever. Our oldest daughter, Lizzie lives in California with her two sons, ages 7 and 5, now a single mother and works full time. We see them a lot. Kimmie, our #2, and her husband also now live in New Canaan with their three kids; a daughter, 6, and two boys, 4 and 2 1/5. Fabulous having them around! #3, Alexandra is a nurse at the Jersey City Medical Center, where she is the manager of the ICU and Trauma units. She’s working on her masters in nursing administration. So we see her all the time as she is only an hour plus away. I just saw Laurel Davis Huber this past week as she came to my house to speak to my book club about her novel, The Velveteen Daughter, which is wonderful. She wowed our group who all loved her! Can't wait to see more of everyone! Addie On April 26, Laurel Davis Huber attended the annual New York City regional event. Nancy Dubuc ’87 hosted the dinner for alumnae and Grade 8 students, creating an evening of meaningful discussion and connection.

1979 Class Scribe: Liz Glassie Doucette 7 Touro Park West Newport, RI 02840 email: lizgdoucette@gmail.com Howdy, classmates. What a pleasure to hear the following from Elaine Christelis Sardella: "Hi Liz. If you want to put this in [she must be joking]: Elaine Christelis Sardella ’79 and Deena Christelis Ethridge ’83 were part of the

amazing crowd for the Royal Wedding at Windsor Castle in May. Complete with hats and flags, they watched the royal couple drive by and witnessed a fairy tale wedding of an American woman to a handsome prince!" How cool is that? Now this cool tidbit from Nancy Jardine Bolton: "My husband, Jim, and I will be complete empty nesters in about three years. We’ve just broken ground on a ranch in Granby, Colorado, a place that fills our hearts and souls. We’ll be spending part of the rest of our years here." And this one (thanks to all who sent photo greetings, btw!): "Hi. It's me, Dr. Kerry Kasegian, at my practice for 32 years now, showing off my niece's artwork. Hope everyone is doing well." In the nail biter department, Judith Macktez Hayes writes: "On May 5, our son Sam turned 16. On May 7, Sam got his permit. Mark and I have taken turns taking Sam driving. On June 3, Sam drove us to Boston to visit his new cousin, my greatniece, Shoshannah Kay Millen, and her parents, Sarah and Brandon. During the ride, I sat in the back seat as my husband, Mark, calmly guided Sam to and through Boston." It was great to get an update from Linda Lecht as well: "My daughter Johanna graduated from college in May. I feel like I graduated, too! I’m still running The Education Fund, a nonprofit group working to improve public education in the 4th largest school district in the country [Miami-Dade County]. We create models for improvements while serving one of the most impoverished populations in the U.S. (77% of our 365,000 students qualify for federal food aid). Our newest initiative is called Food Forests for Schools. We are building actual forests, filled with super foods, on school grounds. Think Barbados Cherries, Moringa, Longevity Spinach, Agati

Flowers, and almost 100 others. Our programming has already resulted in 50,000 produce bags sent home with our low-income children, more than 2,000 harvests incorporated into cafeteria meals, a 50% improvement in students’ eating habits and an 80% increase in their science scores [wow!]. If anyone wants to visit or knows of a national foundation that would be interested in supporting the development of this model, let me know (llecht@educationfund.org). Last but not least, I am still in touch with Angelic Missaghian Shea. She and I get together when we can, given she’s in Massachusetts and I’m in Florida. We can’t figure out how we got such grown-up children while we didn’t age. I’m sure we are all trying to understand this conundrum." What, you mean we aren't still 17? And remember last time we caught up with Edda Grollitsch Kröpfi via Mrs. Sprague? Now we have news from Edda herself: "Our son Gerd is in the Austrian Air Force flying fighter jets, which is really something special since we don't have many because of the size of Austria (it is really a tiny country with only about 8,000,000 people). Our daughter Nina is working at the University of Graz besides studying for her doctorate in Chemistry - which is quite impressive to me, too. I am still teaching English, Philosophy and Psychology at a high school in Graz, still love to ski in winter and enjoy more and more playing golf with my husband Peter the rest of the year in our free time. We built our own little house in Graz more than 20 years ago, enjoy being able to grow some vegetables in our garden and harvest apples, pears, apricots and even grapes—the fruits usually end up as jelly or juice or are eaten right away when ripe. Both of our children have taken part in a wonderful AFS experience, too. Gerd spent his junior year of high school on Cape Cod

CLASSNOTES and is also still in very close contact with his host family, and Nina was in Texas for her junior year. We have all been visiting each other more than once in these past years and now I am busy as usual at this time of the year [November] preparing XMas boxes (filled with, besides other things, lots of Austrian chocolate - Mozartkugeln) to be sent to all our ‘American-AFS Families.’ Whenever I teach freshmen in English, I always tell them about my special experience at Lincoln School, since one topic in the Austrian Curriculum of English as a Second Language for freshman is "school systems in Austria, America and Britain." Then I usually take my yearbook with me and also show them our Lincoln uniform and my Lincoln doll. This way my year at Lincoln will always be 'alive' with me as long as I teach English. Greetings to everybody—all my former Lincoln classmates!" Now THAT'S cool. Until next time, peace to all.

Dawn Radican Natalia: I've just been signed to a dramatic feature length screenplay deal. I'm not at liberty to divulge the content. But I can share that I'm very excited about it, and have moved to Port Saint Lucie, Florida, where I'll be working closely with the producer over the next several months. Mih-Ho Cha Neenan: “I’m continuing to enjoy serving on the LSAA board, meeting formidable, interesting, and kind alumnae of all ages, but it’s especially fun to connect with old classmates. Recently, I ran into two I hadn’t seen since graduation: Bethann Hartnett Allcock at the grand opening ceremony of Lincoln’s STEAM Hub for Girls, and Kate Breslin Hardin, whose daughter Grace Harden ’18 just graduated, at the senior class dinner. And I want to thank Melanie Lutz Anderson, Sue James Geremia, and Jennifer Richins Mellen for pitching in at the third annual LSAA Alumnae Day of Service event in Boston at Rosie¹s Place in May. It was great to catch up with you all while chopping garlic and seasoning frozen fish! If you haven’t done so already, I’d encourage you all to join Lincoln Connect, our recently launched networking platform. It’s an immediate way to connect with the entire alumnae network. So whether you’re launching a child or a second career, looking for recommendations from someone with shared roots, or want to see what other Lincoln alumnae are up to, please check it out (go to Alumnae tab on Lincoln’s website). Margaret Hall Donabed: We are still enjoying our Hingham/Hull retired lifestyle. Isabel is home for the summer and will return to Tampa for one last semester and then practical work in the OT field. Her next step is to get a Masters (On a different note, her parents hope to attend the Masters next year in Augusta!). Aram is in NYC for his first co-op internship this summer. He is

working at Atlantic Records and couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken up golf and like it a lot. I still work a bit at Hingham Square Needlepoint. To round things out, I get together with friends from my neighborhood to play Mahjong. It’s a bit of a trainwreck but we have fun! We did an experiment where we didn’t serve wine … the outcome was the same so we are back to talking too much, losing track of play and accidentally cheating! Aram is happy that his boats are in the water and running. This beauty is new to us. We named her WHAT CHEER as a nod to Providence. In 1638, Roger Williams was greeted by the indians with “What Cheer, Netop!?” It basically means, “What’s up, Friend!?”–Narragansett Beer had the same idea when they coined their phrase “Hi Neighbor!” On March 3, Amy Knowles Chafee gathered with the Lincoln School community to celebrate Lincoln athletics and the posthumous induction of her sister–Callie Knowles Clapp ’85–into the Athletic Hall of Fame. On April 23, Jennifer Richins Mellen and Mih-Ho Cha Neenan returned to Lincoln for a special reception for alumnae and past parents. The event preceded an evening talk by Dina Nayeri, an acclaimed author and the 2018 Paolino Speaker. On April 26, Mih-Ho Cha Neenan attended the annual New York City regional event. Nancy Dubuc ’87 hosted the dinner for alumnae and Grade 8 students, creating an evening of meaningful discussion and connection.

Samina Arif writes: “This winter I wrapped up my freelance design and marketing business and in March I moved on to a marketing position with an agency called TribalVision. It’s challenging and intense and I’m learning a lot. I’m excited to have the opportunity to be working with a group of talented folks and I feel more productive than I have in years. Bonus: Katie Welch McDonald ‘84, a wellness coach with her own company called bnourished (and sister of our classmate Mary Pat Welch Denci), did a wonderful presentation for TribalVision on leading a balanced life. Katie was amazing and authentic and helped us think about our lives from a more holistic perspective. I’m so proud of how Lincoln is growing and evolving with the times, in no small part thanks to the leadership of board member Nancy Nahigian Tavitian. She tirelessly worked on the groundbreaking development of Lincoln’s new STEAM Hub for Girls. Go, Nancy!

Since this class notes section is so pathetically short (hint: send me news!), I will bore you with details of my children (i.e., please feel free to skip right to the Class of 1983 notes). Ali is in NYC working for The Wall Group and Ben just

graduated from Dartmouth (Mindy Kaling’s commencement speech was awesome!) and will be starting a job in NYC as a data analyst for Digitas. Kind of excited that two of my kids will be in the same city. Nick loved his freshman year at Wake Forest and has already warned me that he will most likely never return to the Northeast as he loves life in the south. Sending wishes to all my classmates for a fabulous fun-filled summer with plenty of memory-making vacations with families and friends and good health for all (as we head into our mid-50s this is especially important!). Your class scribe, Beth Barton Rondeau Samina Arif, Mary-Jo Haronian, and Nancy Nahigian Tavitian joined the Lincoln School community on May 3 to mark an important moment in the school’s history–the grand opening of the STEAM Hub for Girls.

INHEROWNWORDS

Slow and Steady: How to Make It Work By Pam Sinel Moore ’96 I made 10,000 dollars as a freelance writer, speaker, and stay-at-home mom this year and I’m going to tell you how I did it. I can’t promise my system will work for you but here goes—I worked really hard. I’d love to say it was the Bulletproof Coffee (It’s not. I can’t even drink it.). I wish I could say I always write before my kids wake up, and edit between while my big girl is at school and my little one naps. The kids don’t sleep past 6 a.m., and I’m not that organized. I can’t say it’s my bullet journal, either. It’s just a jumble of tasks and reminders about deadlines, school pajama days, and dentist appointments. I know my “method” isn’t cool or sexy or what you wanted to hear, but it’s real. I know I’m not supposed to discuss money, let alone announce how much I’ve earned. And I know women aren’t supposed to celebrate their accomplishments. We’re supposed to deflect praise, give other people the credit, and act like it’s no big deal. But this is a big deal. When I calculated my earnings for my quarterly taxes on my un-fancy spreadsheet I thought, “YEAH!” Yeah, because I was it was with no small amount of “Who do I think I am?” that I aspired to get paid to write five years ago. I was an occupational therapist with a blog and a baby, and I loved to write, but I didn’t imagine that after I had my second kid my scrubs would stay in a storage box and that I’d eventually say I was a writer without feeling like a fraud. Pam Sinel Moore ’96 lives in Boulder, Colorado with her husband, two daughters, and five backyard chickens. She tells stories that connect and inspire people through her award-winning writing and speaking. Pam has written for the Washington Post, Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, and more. She is the author of There’s No Room for Fear in a Burley Trailer, a collection of stories chronicling her misadventures on the journey from amateur triathlete to rookie mom. Visit her at pam-moore.com.

Yeah, because last year I had one kid in preschool from 7:55 to 10:40 a.m. and one kid home with me. Four days a week, I dropped my eldest at preschool, then schlepped my little one to the gym, where I’d wait ten minutes for childcare to open, leave her, then hide in the cafe with my laptop until 10:15. Yeah, because this year I have one kid in preschool and one in all-day kindergarten, and although most of the other moms complain about the schedule, I don’t. You can get a lot done in that short window of quiet, child-free time when you focus. Yeah, because my only child care beyond the precious overlap between kindergarten and preschool is a sitter who comes three hours a week. I struggle with whether I deserve her, whether a good mom would forgo this luxury and stay up late to work instead. Yeah, because I’ve read eleventy million articles and heard 99 podcasts on how to be productive, make money, and do a lot with a little, and I’m sure these formulas work for a lot of people, but the only thing I’ve done that works for me is to keep working, even if it’s at a snail’s pace. What has worked for me is forcing myself to do scary things, keep doing them until they feel normal, and then ﬁnd new scary things to try. This is an incomplete list of what has worked for me: Start a blog, start a writing group, co-produce the Listen To Your Mother Show, start a book, submit articles and pitches, attend a blogging conference, keep submitting my work, quit writing a book, keep submitting to new outlets, start another book, get rejected, create a writing retreat, quit writing another book, publish a book I never expected to publish, ask stores to carry my book, speak in public, keep submitting my work, ask my editor if I can write weekly, sign up for a writing retreat, take a writing class, create another writing group, keep submitting, get rejected, keep submitting. I’m not saying you should create a blog, organize a writing group, co-produce a show, or do anything I did. Maybe you should look at my list and do the opposite. I don’t know what will work for you. I just know what’s working for me. It’s not magic and it hasn’t been quick and it hasn’t been easy. But it’s been slow, steady, and extremely gratifying. 45

2017-18 REPORT OF GIVING Dear Lincoln Friends, Thank you to each member of our community who supported Lincoln School during the 2017–18 year. Your gifts to Lincoln provide essential resources that help sustain and advance our school, and the Board of Trustees is so grateful for you—our supporters and champions. In the pages of the 2017–18 Report of Giving, it is abundantly clear that so many have stepped forward to invest in our school—an academic powerhouse where girls come first. I am excited to report that, once again, Lincoln is stronger this year than ever before. We have grown in enrollment, in programs and partnerships, physically and financially. Much of this growth is thanks to your belief in the power of the unparalleled educational experience found behind our red doors. Last year, through your contributions, we were able to: • Officially open the state-of-the-art STEAM Hub for Girls, the only facility of its kind in Rhode Island and a crucial addition to our campus • Expand our partnerships to include a Grade 7 Empathy and Ergonomics Through Industrial Design program with RISD and an Upper School Sea Level Rise IBES Geographic Systems program with Brown University • Launch Lincoln Connect, a digital home for our 3,500+ alumnae, which features communications, events, and networking in an easy-to-access online forum • Increase the programming of The Center for Justice, Peace, and Global Citizenship to include learning through literature in Little and Lower Schools, the first Future is Feminist Conference, and the Front and Center podcast • Continually push the boundaries of education, as we embrace innovation and break new ground in a rigorous and vibrant learning environment On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you for generously supporting Lincoln School. We’ve been at the forefront of girls’ education since 1884, and with your belief and dedication, we will continue to launch fierce, confident, and determined young women into the world—each one ready to make an impact after finding her place and her voice as a Lincoln girl. I eagerly anticipate the possibilities of tomorrow as we continue our work together.

With much appreciation,

Martha Boss Bennett ’85, P’14,’16,’22 Chair, Board of Trustees

or on the stage, walking down the runway or racing across the playing field, making new discoveries or working towards positive and sustainable change – this collection of 31 girls has left a legacy, both individually and collectively. Together with their families, the Class of 2018 decided to leave a Legacy Gift that reflects their combined appreciation for their experiences at Lincoln School—a scholarship, which will help to provide other Lincoln girls with the educational experience that has shaped each member of the class. It will be distributed and administered by Lincoln’s Financial Aid Committee, and each recipient of the scholarship will be notified that a part of her financial aid was a gift from the Class of 2018.

Tim Coggins P’16 Treasurer and Chairman, Finance Committee The 2017-18 school year was a prosperous one, with several standout accomplishments. The Finance Committee and the Buildings & Grounds Committee oversaw the completion of the renovation of the science wing and the construction of the brand new state-of-the-art STEAM Hub for Girls addition, two impressive campus improvements. One great success was reaching the $5 million fundraising goal needed to complete the STEAM Hub for Girls; another was reaching the fundraising goal for the Lincoln Fund, which supports curriculum, program, student activities, and operations. As the treasurer and chairman of the Lincoln School Finance Committee, it has been my pleasure to act as a ﬁnancial steward of this great institution since 2015. Even though my daughter Catherine graduated in 2016, I remain deeply invested in the Lincoln community, which continues to grow and thrive. The Finance Committee, in partnership with the Board of Trustees and administrative leadership, is responsible for strategic investments, monitoring the operations budget, and ensuring that Lincoln can provide the best possible education for the bold minds of Rhode Island.

One other major change to our bricks and mortar was putting the newly acquired 64 East Orchard building to good use as the home for both the Business and the Advancement ofﬁces, which allows us to optimize much-needed classroom space. Classrooms are in high demand, as Lincoln’s enrollment has continued to grow school-wide over the last ﬁve years. In fact, we saw a record amount of applications for admission for the 2018-19 school year, a testament to the school’s health and reputation.

This year, we have worked closely with our representatives from the Rhode Island Foundation, where Lincoln’s endowment is maintained, and with Prime Bucholz, our investment manager, to review investment allocations, assess current and future market conditions, and clearly outline expectations. Our investment objective remains the same: to continue to build an all-weather strategy that emphasizes long-term growth while exploiting the portfolio’s extended investment horizon and access to institutional investment strategies. To ensure Lincoln’s success in both the short- and long-term, we are continuing to evaluate our ﬁve-year budget projections and strategy. We successfully completed our FYE 2017 ﬁnancial statement audit and our FYE 2017 retirement plan audit with a clean bill of school health. I extend my heartfelt thanks to each member of the Finance and Buildings & Grounds Committees, and to Lincoln leadership, for being such thoughtful and conscientious caretakers of this beloved school. I’m looking forward to continuing to grow Lincoln’s success in the years to come!

A Word of Difference From Author Dina Nayeri Bold Voices Speaker Series Write better. Read always. Think originally. Find your voice. Listen deeply to the voices of others. That call to action came from awardwinning author Dina Nayeri, who spent an early spring day with the Lincoln community, thanks to the generous support of the Joseph R. and Jeffrey R. Paolino Fund. In a riveting presentation to the community, Nayeri— author of the essay, “The Ungrateful Refugee: We Have No Debt to Repay,” and the novels Refuge and A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea—explored issues related to the human experience, the importance of empathy in writing and life, and both the promise and potential failures of language. Nayeri’s works are a testament to her philosophy. When reviewing Refuge, her most recent book, Boris Fishman said, “Dina Nayeri’s prose has something all too rare in books these days: a wild, beating heart. Read this book to feel your own heart expand.” And what else is empathy but the process of expanding your own heart to be ﬁlled with the life of another? The question then becomes not what—but how. “In writing and in general, put each word on trial for its

life,” Nayeri said, and then repeated it. Delete filler language, she encouraged. Eschew tired aphorisms. Retire canned transitional phrases like “as a result of,” “all things considered,” and “as a matter of fact.” Instead, she posited, when speaking to Middle and Upper School students, fill that space with ideas, preferably ones that have never been thought of before. Listen to your mind to find your voice, and then choose the words that feel true to it and delete the rest. “This may seem like a lofty statement, but learning to write freshly and precisely can make you smarter, better people. Learning to read closely, word by word, can strengthen your ability to empathize. Then you can speak to someone with an entirely different experience and understand and be understood, and that is empowering,” said Nayeri. The best tool to wield when honing that skill, she offered, is to read. “Read good fiction. Read a lot of different voices. When I decided to become a writer, I ordered every single book that had been a finalist for the Booker Prize in the past 50 years and I spent a year reading them,” said Nayeri. “Read the best kind of writing you’re trying to do, and you will pick up what is good and authentic and be able to apply it to your own work.” The hard work, of course, is to listen well, to employ empathy at every turn. Nayeri urged audience members to listen to the sound of a voice, the nuances of a language, the ellipses in a pattern of thought, and perhaps then they too will be able to find what fuels their own wild, beating heart.
