COURSE OF NATURE Orienteering and the Underground Railroad in Blackstone Valley Park On a textbook fall day at Lincoln School, girls from Grade 5 ventured out of the classroom and into Blackstone Valley Park to learn about history, navigation, and nature. As a part of a unit on the Underground Railroad, each group took turns hiding notes and plotting the course to find them, putting their orienteering skills and lessons learned to good use.
SUZANNE FOGARTY HEAD OF SCHOOL
Friends, In this issue of The Lincoln Magazine, you will get a rich glimpse into the first few months of the 2016-17 school year! To start, we recently completed a 10-year Facilities Master Plan, which is an in-depth look at our campus in Providence. We prioritized improvements to the facilities, the first of which is the expansion of our science wing and construction of a prominent, new facade facing the intersection of Butler Avenue and Blackstone Boulevard. I am excited to share with you that the first project is the STEAM Hub for Girls. With many thanks to a lead gift of $2 million by an anonymous donor towards this project, we will begin construction this summer! I am also pleased to share with you that Brown’s School of Engineering featured Lincoln School in a two-page spread in its summer magazine with an article entitled Brown’s Partnership with Lincoln School Inspires Young Women Engineers. This partnership is just one of several STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Architecture and Math) initiatives from which Lincoln students benefit (RISD’s School of Architecture and The Steel Yard are two more!).

We also welcomed an impressive roster of visiting and alumnae speakers including Jenna Musco ’07, Assistant Director of Sustainability at Dartmouth College, award-winning spoken-word poet Carlos Andrés-Gómez, and author and entrepreneur Stefany Shaheen. In addition, you will meet our new faculty and staff, and learn about our Upper School Independent Study Program, our expanded Lower School partnership with Save the Bay, and our burgeoning collaboration with Blackstone Conservancy. The teaching and learning of girls and young women is at the heart and soul of Lincoln School, and the opportunity to match this instruction with sophisticated and innovative facilities, such as the STEAM Hub for Girls, is an exciting next step in Lincoln’s bright future. My best,
Suzanne Fogarty Head of School

In June 2016, Lincoln faculty—Suzanne Fogarty, Peter Brooks, Sylvia Campbell, and Anita Thompson ’89— visited Cuba with the World Leadership School to blaze a trail for a new student program starting in 2017. Upper School students will study and explore this country, and learn about its rich history and vibrant culture.

POETRY, PASSION, AND THE ANTI-PRINCESS Poet. Actor. Speaker. Writer. Student. Friend. Husband. Father. Latino. Outsider. Advocate. These are just some of the many words and sides of Carlos Andrés Gómez, who spent a day and evening with the Lincoln School community, but the one identity that describes him best is, simply, infinite. “We are all works in progress. We are all many things. We all have infinite identities,” Gómez said.
4 | LINCOLN MAGAZINE
As a poet, Gómez’s work speaks volumes about who he is and how that collides with perception, others, and the world in which he lives. Lincoln students, staff, faculty, and friends had a chance to see him perform five of his poems: “Hallelujah,” “Everything,” “Song for Mike Brown,” “What does Hispanic Look Like?,” and “If a Princess Tries to Kidnap Your Daughter,” all of which are rooted in his own personal experience as a grandson, friend, activist, member of the Latinx community, and father, respectively. He uses narrative to propel his work forward because, as he said: “Anyone can disagree with someone’s opinion, but no one can disagree with someone’s story.” The poem “If a Princess Tries to Kidnap Your Daughter,” is about his 14-month-old daughter Grace, but it is also about traditional gender roles and the limitations that society imposes upon children at a young age. “Ever since my daughter arrived on this earth, and even before, people were trying to establish what she could and could not do, could and could not wear, and could and could not be. Why can’t she

wear colors other than pink? Why can’t she like science or dinosaurs or basketball?” said Gómez. “My hope is to always try to challenge things that are deeply rooted in the way we think, try to challenge and dismantle convention, to make people think about things differently.” Gómez encouraged his listeners to share their own lives whenever they could, and to address the hard stuff in a way that’s accessible by using art, stories, and open dialogue. “You can only expect the people in front of you to be as open and courageous as you are. We have to do that kind of messy work to get our community to where it should be,” he said to a curious and grateful audience. And where is that, exactly? “I want to live in a world where we can all be whatever it is that we want to be,” said Gómez. “I want to live in a world where we can all just be who we are.”
WORKING LIKE A DOG Getting a dog is a big moment in anyone’s life, but for Elle, a young woman with type 1 diabetes, it was life-changing. When Elle was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, or the absence of insulin in the body to control blood sugar, Stefany Shaheen, her mother, signed up for a dog trained to alert people with diabetes if their blood sugar rises too high or falls too low. When Coach the dog finally arrived, everything changed. “I got him in the eighth grade, and it was like the skies parted and the sun shone down, as cheesy as that sounds,” said Elle. Coach goes everywhere with Elle—to school, to rehearsal, to exercise, out to eat—so he can let her know if her levels are getting close to out of range. It took him 2,000 hours of training to be ready to do such an important job. Coach’s nose is an amazing tool—if he had the same acuity with sight as he does with smell, he could see 10,000 miles away. His ability has brought a semblance of control over a chronic diagnosis and a sense of peace to their family. Elle is planning to attend college next year, and is determined to not let her diabetes define her future. “What I learned as Elle’s mom having Coach in the house, is that it doesn’t matter what kind of challenge you face,” said Shaheen. “Every one of us has challenges. It’s how we respond to that challenge that defines who we are.” For more information about Elle and Coach, visit www.elleandcoach.com, where you can also purchase a book written about their inspirational journey.

Jenna Musco ’07, Assistant Director of Sustainability at Dartmouth College, credits Lincoln with where she is today. Her work uses experiential learning in sustainability problem solving, working with student leaders, faculty, and community members to transform the campus energy supply, build up the Dartmouth Organic Farm, and integrate sustainability into the fabric of Dartmouth life. Musco’s day-to-day is informed by her time at Lincoln and her Quaker values. When working with people, “always look for the inner light in them. There is good in all of us. Let your life speak—live your values every day, in every way you can. Community is so important—working together and listening to each other will get you farther than you ever imagined,” said Musco. Her professional path paves the way for the future, but also informs the present. “Sustainability isn’t about the future—it’s about doing the best you can for the human race right now,” said Musco. “So what can you do? Learn as much as you can. Research. Read. Listen. Put yourself in uncomfortable situations. Ask questions— a lot of them. Vote, not just in elections, but with your dollars, your words, your voice. Work with your hands. And always, always, remember what you learned at Lincoln and take time to reflect.”

$2 Million Gift Fast-Tracks New STEAM Hub for Girls
Architectural rendering of new facade on Blackstone Boulevard
FUNDRAISING FOR $5 MILLION PROJECT UNDERWAY
A STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY TO MATCH A VIBRANT CURRICULUM
The state-of-the-art STEAM Hub for Girls is part of a 10-year Facilities Master Plan to grow and enhance Lincoln’s campus.
For girls at Lincoln, there are no limits. Our students push themselves intellectually, achieve boldly, and explore fearlessly. The knowledge, skills, and values they develop through their experiences here—in the classroom, on the field or stage, and even beyond our own campus—prepare them to thrive in today’s ever-changing and challenging world.
Lincoln’s STEAM Hub for Girls is a $5 million project with $2.5 million raised to date. A lead gift of $2 million continues to inspire increased philanthropy among the Lincoln community.
STEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Architecture, and Math, focuses on interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and problem solving. Data shows that even if girls are interested in science, technology, engineering, and math, they don’t choose to pursue these fields at the same rate as their male peers, causing women to be underrepresented in the workplace.* However, these same studies indicate that alumnae of all-girls schools who have been empowered to pursue an interest in these disciplines are three times as likely to become engineers, a pattern that is especially true of Lincoln girls.
The STEAM Hub for Girls is scheduled to break ground in summer of 2017.

In a visit to Lincoln last spring, Dr. Mary Boyce, Dean of Engineering at Columbia University, spoke about the interdisciplinary nature of engineering. Dean Boyce articulated how engineering impacts humanity in every aspect of life including: energy, water, air, environment, food, shelter, mobility, communication, safety, health, and medicine. As a school for girls, Lincoln is uniquely positioned to shift the gender balance of women entering STEAM fields. The STEAM Hub for Girls builds on our established focus on academic opportunities that girls cannot find anywhere else. This is the cornerstone of a Lincoln education. Not only does Lincoln offer a robust core STEM curriculum, complemented by electives in robotics and computer science, we also go beyond the classroom to engage in Upper School partnerships with Brown’s School of Engineering, RISD’s School of Architecture, and The Steel Yard. Lincoln is well positioned to include the untraditional ‘A’ in STEAM, because it reflects the interconnectivity of learning at Lincoln today and in our future. Lincoln’s STEAM Hub for Girls will bring the vigor and excitement of our outside partnership experiences to Lincoln’s campus on a daily basis, allowing our talented faculty to guide students in interdisciplinary coursework that both enhances students’ skills and increases their passion, giving them every opportunity to learn, explore, and break new ground in their future fields.
Coming Fall/Winter of 2017 The project will include: • A new two-story facade on Blackstone Boulevard • An entrepreneurial space shared by faculty and students featuring a rotating art gallery on the first floor • A flexible learning hub for interdisciplinary courses, engineering, and guest lectures on the second floor • Over 4,000 square feet of additional instruction space • A redesigned and expanded physics lab, robotics classroom, and chemistry lab • Break-out areas for student collaboration • A new science wing roof featuring a rain garden SHARE IN THE VISION Interested in learning more about the STEAM Hub for Girls or want to pledge your support?

GRAMMAR LESSONS
WE’VE GOT THE It's never too early to learn about the classics. In the Ginkgo Room, BLUES 4 and 5 year olds are studying some of modern music's most influential artists including Ray Charles, BB King, and Billie Holiday. By listening to songs like "Night and Day," they learn about harmony, the blues, and what it means to fall in love. As students thought about what they heard, they also thought about the artists behind the music. Ray Charles, they know, was blind, and they even made special glasses to emulate what it would be like to lose their sight.

"He counted his steps to know where he was! He could play the piano even though he couldn't see," one student said of the great Brother Ray.
This fall, some friends came a very long way to learn what life and learning are like at Lincoln. Susan James and Clare Owens from Manchester Grammar School, the largest independent day school for boys in England, met with faculty, staff, and students to find out more about the other side of single-sex education on the other side of the pond.
BB King was a fan favorite because of his guitar named Lucille, and Billie Holiday was beloved because of her beautiful voice, but also because she had a sad life and still brought so much happiness to others. To cap off the lesson, kids wrote their own blues tunes and took turns playing a class keyboard. Notable lyrics include: "The tinman has no brain. The scarecrow has no heart. The lion has no courage," and "My dog bit my lunchbox and I'm so sad. He bit the whole square part."
ELECTION REFLECTION Digital Democracy: Scholastic Picks Lincoln School fourth graders voted in the online Scholastic Student Vote, a longstanding mock election for children across the country. By voting online, our girls cast their vote on who should be our nation's next president! Students were able to engage in the democratic process, learning about the real candidates and actual issues facing voters today. Scholastic News' goal is "to inspire kids to learn about—and take part in—the world around them."
While the vote may not be official, and the results not included in the actual presidential election, students have

historically foretold who the winner will be. Having been in practice since 1940, the outcome of the student vote has mirrored the actual election in all but three years. In 1948, they voted for Thomas E. Dewey over Harry S. Truman; in 1960, they selected Richard M. Nixon over John F. Kennedy; and this year, they selected Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
Taking the Fifth
In Julie Savage and Tara Henriques’ Kindergarten class, students learned all about the President's role, what it means to vote, and the importance of the election cycle (in nonpartisan Kindergarten speak, of course!). They took the discussion of democracy one step further when they simulated what it would be like for the students to be a part of the process and have an important perspective. They learned to think about a subject, form an opinion, and cast their ballot on what they thought would be best.
The result? Pumpkin bread 12, applesauce muffins 8. Important lessons were learned and delicious decisions were made.
Fifth graders experienced democracy first-hand in a mock presidential election at the State House with Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea!
WINTER 2017 | 11
The topic at hand? In a battle for the ages—beloved pumpkin bread vs. near-and-dear applesauce muffins—students heard about why each candidate should be chosen. Then the class cast their vote in a secure polling place (behind the easel), and waited with bated breath to hear what the outcome was.

BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME
This year, faculty, staff, and parents discussed Ta-Nehisi Coates’ brilliant book, Between The World and Me, winner of the National Book Award and a #1 New York Times bestseller. Hailed by Toni Morrison as “required reading,” the book delves into the discussion of race from a personal perspective. Coates explores issues of national history in a contemporary context within the framework of writing a letter to his adolescent son. For the faculty and staff of Lincoln School, this book provided invaluable perspective about race, privilege, structural violence, and the purpose and power of education.
THE CENTER FOR JUSTICE, PEACE, & GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
In October, parents participated in the first Lincoln Parent Book Group Discussion to answer the question: “Why are we here and what is the purpose of education?,” and also to consider this quote from the book: “And what does it mean that #2 pencils, conjugations without context, pythagorean theorems, handshakes and head nods were the difference between life and death, were the curtains drawing down between the world and me?”

NATIONAL MERIT SEMI-FINALISTS
Congratulations to seniors Surabhi Iyer, Madison Kelly, and Yee Won Kim, who were named semifinalists in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Competition.
The Center for Justice, Peace, and Global Citizenship has a new name and a new leader at the helm. Formerly the Center for Peace, Justice, and Equity Through Service, the Center (as it is affectionately called) “is a conduit for information, action, and support for issues pertaining to diversity and inclusion at Lincoln,” said Barret Fabris, the new director. “It provides an important and powerful voice for students, parents, faculty, and staff to come together and engage in an open environment.” Located on the main floor, the Center acts as a hub for what is going on inside the red doors and outside in the world. A valuable resource based on our Quaker values of inclusion and equity, the Center is open to the entire Lincoln community.

BOLD APPROACH: BEYOND THE AP As the landscape of education evolves and changes, so too must Lincoln. We provide our students with opportunities to become analytical thinkers, dynamic learners, and future leaders. That is exactly why Lincoln is moving beyond Advanced Placement and replacing those courses with our own advanced offerings.
“As a teacher of both AP Physics and BC Calculus this past year, it often feels like I am teaching two different sides of the same subject without the chance to fully reveal the connections between the two,” said Will Gyory, Upper School science teacher. “By moving beyond AP, I can give my students more chances to understand the “why” behind calculus, and to better connect the dots between the symbols of math and the structure of nature.”
WINTER 2017 | 13
One of those courses, the Physical Applications of Calculus, will bridge the gap between math and science by delving into key topics in college-level mechanics, with an added emphasis on how calculus can be used to analyze and understand physics. By employing an interdisciplinary approach, students will draw connections between traditionally abstract math and more practical applications
of science like kinematics, Newton’s laws, momentum, energy, and rotational dynamics, to understand the world around them.

GAME CHANGERS: ALUMNAE ATH GOING FOR THE FENCES Quinn Crum ’15
CLASS ON THE FIELD Nicole White ’15
Quinn Crum ’15, a sophomore on Columbia’s fencing team, points to her time on the piste at Lincoln as the foundation of her stellar work ethic and current athletic success. A foil on the team with an impressive overall record of 42-6, Crum first learned about fencing because of a demonstration at Lincoln, and has spent her time since defining what it means to play like a girl. “Fencing teaches me discipline, mental toughness, and physical strength,” said Crum. “And playing like a girl means never giving up, playing with grit, and having stellar sportsmanship.” She was outside with friends in front of the famous beech tree when she found out she’d be joining the roster at Columbia, and was overwhelmed with the show of sisterhood and support she received upon hearing the good news. Since then, she’s taken that feeling of camaraderie and used it as the foundation to face incredible challenges, including going up against, and sometimes beating, Olympians. Herself a gold medalist at the 2013 Junior Olympics, she is undefeated in the Ivy League.

“What I’ve learned through fencing makes me really determined to meet every goal I set for myself, which means smashing all doubts that people may have in me,” said Crum. “But it fuels me even more when someone says I cannot achieve something. I go out there with all that I have and I prove them wrong.”
“...IT FUELS ME EVEN MORE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS I CANNOT ACHIEVE SOMETHING. I GO OUT THERE WITH ALL THAT I HAVE AND I PROVE THEM WRONG.”

A dual sport athlete during her time at Lincoln (she also played lacrosse), she learned in middle school the importance of balancing academics and athletics, a skill that landed her on the Dean’s List in college. “At Lincoln, I learned all about balance and time management. Now in college, I am taking challenging classes and spending so much time playing sports, but there’s one thing I’m known for: none of my friends have ever seen me stressed out,” said White. That may also be because she finds such joy and satisfaction in playing the game. One of her favorite field hockey moments took place her junior year in a semifinal game against Barrington, in which they went into triple overtime. Though Lincoln ended up losing, she said, that game stuck with her.
“NO ONE SHOULD FEEL RESTRAINED FROM TACKLING ANY OPPORTUNITY OR CHALLENGE. LINCOLN TAUGHT ME THAT.”
“That whole team played so hard that day. We gave everything to that game and each and every one of us learned what it meant to be a team: stick together and remember it’s all about sportsmanship,” said White. Her experience on the field was enhanced by her all-girls education. “Lincoln gave me enormous confidence. I know we’re just as tough, as smart, as fast, as capable as guys, or anyone else,” said White. “On the field or off, I’m not afraid to be myself.”
UNBOUND & DETERMINED Larson Bennett ’14
Larson Bennett ’14, a junior lacrosse player at Dartmouth College, doesn’t believe in boundaries, a trait she attributes to her time on the field at Lincoln. “From sixth grade to senior year I played lacrosse and field hockey, but they weren’t simply sports. I wasn’t just learning how to catch or shoot; I was learning how to be a leader and a comrade,” said Bennett. “Lincoln athletics taught me that there are no true boundaries set that I could not exceed.” And she knows she’s not alone in that belief: the sisterhood she belonged to at Lincoln is one she still finds among her teammates on the Dartmouth lacrosse team, one that fuels the meaning behind the phrase “play like a girl.” “When you play like a girl, you are playing fearlessly and courageously; you are playing to the best of your capability without any limitations to hold you back,” said Bennett.
“We are so lucky for the opportunities that we have as women, both at Lincoln and within this country,” said Bennett. “No one should feel restrained from tackling any opportunity or challenge. Lincoln taught me that.”

That philosophy extends beyond the field and into the classroom, the community, the very core of what is possible in today’s world.

On Friday, September 23, and Saturday, September 24, the Lincoln School Alumnae Board and Advancement Team welcomed over 150 alumnae back through the red doors for our 2016 Alumnae and Reunion Weekend. The two days were filled with a combination of valued traditions and exciting new events, including a Memorial Silent Meeting, class visits, the Alumnae Luncheon, a Mimosa Brunch, a Lincoln Today panel discussion with current students and Head of School Suzanne Fogarty and—the highlight of the weekend—an on-campus cocktail party and class dinners. If the energy, enthusiasm, and laughter that filled Lincoln's campus are any indication, all who attended were able to find time to reminisce about their days as a Lincoln girl, reconnect with classmates, and catch a glimpse into the school Lincoln is today.

Helen Stilson Hardin: At 102, THIS old lady has not been "up to" much of anything lately, except breathing in and breathing out—chair yoga-style— actually with a coach twice a week, as it happens! But I HAVE had a wonderful life - wonderful family, and JUST the right amount of world travel over the years to satisfy my yen for it. Perhaps Helen Kenoyer Mosher and I are about the only members of the class of 1932 still around? And SHE has done a spectacular job with her life.

The latest Lincoln Magazine arrived this week, and there was no news from any class earlier than ’45. I therefore take keyboard in hand to write about my mother, Marguerite Bailey Lawn. This is her 80th reunion year! She no longer travels and hasn’t been one to attend reunions frequently anyway, but she has always enjoyed hearing about her former classmates—although saddened in later years to hear of so many deaths. If recollection serves me, Mary Sisson Barrett was the most recent one to touch her deeply. My mother was very happy in her years at Lincoln, and in her friendships there. I’m not sure when she last sent in news. Anyway, she has lived with me for 11 years now. We make a good household, two old ladies and a handful of pugs. Two years ago there was a dramatic change when my mother was quite ill with pneumonia. She recovered from the pneumonia, but things have not been quite the same since then. She no longer gets around under her own steam, and we have caregivers to assist her. She still has the same sense of humor and the same enthusiasm, as she remembers the days when she could hike and climb mountains, but she now leaves the outdoor adventure to others; each day is an adventure of its own, and she manages to meet the challenges one way or another as they arise. Sometimes at 98 she wonders how much longer she will live, but then we remember her father, Moses Bailey (a Moses Brown graduate and later Board member—and, in fact, graduation speaker for my class), who died at 101. Each generation should live a little longer than the last one, right? (And what kind of future does that predict for me?) My mother is still married to Evan Lawn, who is still going strong himself, and she still rejoices in her children and grandchildren—and now in the next generation as well. Her grandson, Stephen and his wife, Bridget have three children, all of whom have visited and will, in years to come, have memories of their great-grandmother.

Nancy Wilcox Mattis was a class leader during her years at Lincoln School. She served as Class Treasurer, Vice-President and, ultimately, President of her class, in addition to playing basketball, acting in the school play, and serving on many school committees. Nancy was a Rhode Island resident for her whole life, residing in Barrington since 1949. She grew up in Providence, but spent her summers by the shore of Narragansett Bay in the Bristol Highlands. Maybe it was in those summer or, as she would say, having been born a Pisces, but Nancy developed a lifelong love for the water. An avid boater, she lived on the water most of her life and, even into her nineties, she insisted on being taken out for a "spin" around the river in the old Boston Whaler she kept at her dock. Nancy and her late husband, Walter Mattis, enjoyed a life that consisted of raising a family, boating, world travel, and lifelong friends. Even after she lost her husband, she kept active, participating in weekly golf and tennis matches, playing bridge with a local group of ladies, and bowling with the “Rumstick Rollers,” all well into her late eighties. She was a voracious reader and conversationalist, with a great interest in all that was going on, both globally and within her small circle of cherished family and friends. She was also a long-time and active member of the “Barrington Blue Chips,” a small women's investment club that, along with her father's tutorage, fostered a keen interest in the stock market that continued into her final days. Nancy passed away peacefully at home, early in the morning of Wednesday, October 26. She was 95 years old.

Diane Stott Briggs ’47
Barbara Sherwood Sinkinson, 91, died on August 13 at Country Meadows of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. She was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on March 15, 1925. She graduated in 1942 from Lincoln School in Providence and from Brown University, cum laude, in 1945. In 1946, she was married to Richard Sinkinson, who predeceased her in 2008. Their four children, Michael F., Pamela, William R. and Caroline, and their spouses Shannon Haig, James E. Mayo, and Michael D. Lichtenwalter, survive her. She is also survived by nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, all of whom she adored. Her parents, Herbert M. and Margaret (Meader) Sherwood, and four sisters, Mary Louise Sherwood Steere ’39, Caroline Sherwood Peck ’41, Ruth Sherwood Thomas ’44, and Anna Sherwood Young ’46, predeceased her. While living in Nashville, Tennessee, Barbara was active in the local chapter of the American Red Cross, serving as Chairman of Volunteers and on the Board of Directors. In Industry, Maine, where she and Dick moved in retirement, she was active as Secretary of the Northern Lites Snowmobile Club, a member of the Clearwater Lake Association and the West Shore Road Association. She was a past President of the Farmington Monday Club. However, her husband and her family were her main focus in life.

Eleanor Whitney Ogden: I was a member of the class of '43 and am enjoying good health, but I would love to hear from members of the class. I recently went to visit my sister, Frances Whitney Manter '42 in Aiken, South Carolina with my two daughters, and she also is enjoying good health. She has one great-granddaughter, and I have five great-grandchildren and one more arriving in February.

Diane’s connection to Lincoln did not end when she graduated, as she remained a connected alumna and generous donor. In honor of her dedication to her beloved school, she was presented the Alumnae Citation Award, which recognized her continuous support and significant service to Lincoln, demonstrated by a loyalty to the school and a desire to perpetuate its commitment to excellence in all areas of education for young women. Diane passed on the Lincoln tradition to her daughter, Kim Briggs Berry ’76, and her granddaughters, Cameron Berry ’09 and Chelsea Berry ’09, and her memory lives on through them. Diane, who lived in Providence, passed away peacefully on August 5, 2016, surrounded by her loved ones. She will be fondly remembered and fiercely missed.

Greetings to everyone. Only one sad notice: one of our classmates, Gretchen Elliott Viall, died in July. I have not contacted any of you this fall, but I will for the next issue. Best wishes to all of you. Julie Paxton Barrow Joanne White Miller: Well, as a proud member of the class of '49 and as a lover of Lincoln School—though I was never a scholar, I think I was enriched by the environment and perhaps became a better person—I should pen a few notes. Always a lover of books, I spent more time browsing in libraries than on homework; even as a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I was more excited by the freedom to wander through the stacks than anything else! Presently, I am attempting to keep my husband ticking, getting in a few rounds of passable golf and playing some middling tennis on increasingly unreliable legs. We are living at sea level here in Carmel Valley, unable to return to our 7,500 foot high home in New Mexico, as Jim gets altitude sickness. I have not seen anybody from my class since our last reunion.... to them I say, I hope you are in excellent shape and that I will see you at our next gathering in a few years! Our five children have been wonderful during our recent crises, so I'm sure to make it to Providence with their help! Love to all, and especially to Lincoln!

She really enjoyed being with everyone. It was a lovely luncheon, and everyone had a wonderful time. Lots of great reminiscing. On to our 70th! On a sad note, Carol Aisenberg Schneider died unexpectedly in Boston the day of the reunion. She was so excited about the event and had come north to attend. Our deepest sympathy goes to Carol’s family and her sister, Gloria Aisenberg Sonnabend ’47. She was a dear friend of several of us and will surely be missed.

Dee Lovenberg Decker moved last December from Ashland, Oregon, to Huntington Beach, California, where she lives happily in a wonderful community which offers just about anything you could want: exercise classes, movies, a saltwater swimming pool, many new friends, and a new climate from what she experienced for many years. Linda Branch Eggeman flew to Germany to see her sister and celebrate her 85th birthday. Linda spent the summer at her daughter's in South Dakota, and had a hip replacement while there, which went very well. She's back in Mesquite and has been seeing various old friends. She sends a shout out to all classmates still kicking up their heels. Joan Harlowe: “Closest to an adventure was joining my Montana daughter (professor at Montana State University) and her family on a trip to Oahu in March. From my perspective in northern Vermont, the Hawaiian climate has its appeal. But living here, with horses, goats, dogs, cats, and chickens, in the midst of natural beauty, continues to be home (as long as we have the energy!).” Jane Troppoli Lomas is still volunteering for hospice. Her granddaughter was married in July, and everyone came east for the occasion and stayed in a beach house for a week before the wedding. Her grandson and his wife are expecting a baby in March, so Jane will be a great-grandmother. Gail Ames Sangree's granddaughter, Liz, is working on her MAT degree at Brown and visited an English class at Lincoln recently. After class she went to the library and found a 1952 yearbook, “and there I was with lots of silly comments whose relevance I no longer understand. It was a long time ago, when we were all young and foolish.” Well, I realize that's true, Gail, but we had a lot of fun in those days (I have that yearbook, and it's highly amusing to look through it and see all the comments.). Diana Scott has had quite a year traveling— in March to Seoul, South Korea, visiting her granddaughter and exploring the sites, then to Japan, touring Tokyo, the parks near Mt. Fuji and the bullet train to Kyoto, where she visited ancient palaces and temples. Diana writes, "In September, I joined a small group of Americans to visit Iran, near Oman, where I

lived for eight years. Iran, a Muslim country, is different from other Mid-Eastern countries. All, women, including tourists, must wear a headscarf, which was often awkward for Western women. The Iranians were friendly and eager for conversations with us. The tour featured the magnificent Persian ruins at Persepolis, the beautiful mosques, bridges and squares of Isfahan, as well as Tehran, Shiraz and Tabez.” Chuck and Ann Winsor Doskow took a delightful Smithsonian tour through Portugal and Northern Spain, and then spent three (brief but wonderful) days in Paris on their way home.

Reports are that he was a great addition, and was the photographer of the group as well.

I spoke on the phone a few days ago to Jane Gifford Barrows. You may already know that she had struggled with a serious bout of Lyme Disease for several years, and is now miraculously feeling far better and back to her old energetic self. Jane has taken to heart her cause to spread the correct and complete information about this debilitating disease. She recently attended a four-day International Lyme Disease Conference in Philadelphia. Next, she hosted a meeting with the Rhode Island Senate majority leader to meet and discuss with the Lyme Disease Support Group, which she founded in Newport, as well as with other guests. The goal was to enlighten the state senator about the serious nature of Lyme, and the important need for this disease to be recognized and funded by the state. Jane has also met with the Director of the Newport Hospital to enlighten her/him, and to also discuss the imperative need for up-to-date and correct treatment for Lyme Disease patients by experienced and well-qualified physicians. During our conversation, Jane also told me about the amazingly beautiful garden oasis with a soothing water fountain and plants and flowers, which Joyce Sproul McDaniel has designed and installed over the years behind her home, perched on a Los Angeles, California hillside.
Janet Laing Hetterly: Our son, Davis, third kid down and a Middlebury College student, spent a semester with the School for International Training in Kenya while living with a family there, and visited many areas including the island of Lamu, also off the eastern coast of Africa. That was an experience he'll never forget. All four of our kids did a year or semester away during college, but Kenya was particularly interesting to both my husband and to me.

Betsy Streit Mulligan: We have had a great year. Our granddaughter, Caitie Mulligan, graduated from Virginia Tech in May, her sister, Erin, got married in June, we spent five weeks on Cape Cod in July/August with our daughter and her family, went to a class reunion in August, then to California to see my sister, Frankie Streit Tripp ’52, in September, and then Marvin and I spent a week with friends in San Miguel de Allende in late October/early November. Now we hope to stay home for several months at least! Lee Newth Roberts: What a year this has been! In early December, I lifted three large and heavy boxes from a cramped and awkward space. Those boxes were filled with all sorts of treasured and meaningful Christmas decorations from the earliest days of our marriage. A few days later, alas, I was struggling with back pain if I stood or walked for more than five minutes or so. The light then dawned. Aha! I wasn’t 30 years of age any longer. At any rate, after assorted treatments, such as intermittent doses of

Since Barbara Benson O'Connor, who had planned to drive to the lunch from Newtown, Connecticut, reported car trouble, she sadly decided not to attempt to make it to Seekonk. And, yours truly, Lee Newth Roberts, also made the disappointing, last-minute decision that she didn't feel well enough with her aching back to make the drive from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Meanwhile Betsy Streit Mulligan, who was on the Cape visiting her kids and grandkids with Marvin, her husband and our class members’ photographer at our 60th reunion, drove herself all the way from the Cape.

prednisone, several sessions of physical therapy, as well as a cortisone shot, all was to no avail. I finally sought help from the Spine Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. My physical testing was excellent, but the MRI revealed a totally messed-up spine which meant surgery was absolutely impossible. I do still have other ideas about how to deal with the pain, however, such as acupuncture or seeking help from a chiropractor. I am also considering the use of medical marijuana treatment which is legally available here in New Hampshire with a doctor’s recommendation. Luckily we live in Portsmouth, a most active and interesting city with great restaurants, summertime sailing, art galleries, theatre, music, our wonderful Portsmouth Athenaeum and historic houses. We are also close to Boston and to Portland, Maine, so we never lack for activity. Also, it is a real treat to spend time with our kids and grandkids as often as they are available. Our grandson, Nicky Downs, a sophomore at Yale, was just named to All Ivy Honors as a soccer player on the varsity soccer team. His teammate, senior and captain, Henry Flugstad-Clarke, was also named to All Ivy Honors. So, in spite of this setback, we feel much gratitude that, in general, both Rod and I are in good health. I certainly hope that all of you are able to say the same.

CLASS SCRIBE: DOROTHY BIRD PRICE 570 MAST ROAD PLYMOUTH, MA 02360-7703 DOROTHYBPRICE@YAHOO.COM Part of an email from Peggy Paxton Blobel in August: July 9 we arrived. I was developing symptoms of a disease called giant cell arteritis. If left untreated, one will lose eyesight. I have been lucky. My son took me to NY Presbyterian to a neuropathologist. I received injections of cortisone and am now taking daily pills of the same, which fight the giant cells for WHO knows how long. I am weak because I lost 14 pounds. Not being able to eat is a symptom. And last, I had double vision. My goal is to fly home in three weeks. I am sorry we cannot get together.

Peggy also sent a long letter in June. She mentioned meeting with Mary Louise
Nunes in Providence in the spring of 1984. Mary gave Peggy a copy of her book on noted Brazilian author Machado de Assis, and also her impressive curriculum vitae. Peggy and Hans, who were living in Brazil at the time, were enjoying learning Portuguese. She remembered conversing with Mary in that language. Peggy also related this tale: My sister, Julie Paxton Barrow '49, has a son who lives with his wife and two-year-old son in Baltimore, Maryland. The little boy is very outgoing and went into the garden of a neighbor, even up to the front door. The neighbor invited him and the mother into her house. The little boy is growing up speaking two languages, Mandarin and English. The mother spoke about me, her aunt in Germany, whose son grew up bilingual...can you believe this? The neighbor of my nephew and his wife is Harriet Greenough Luck! Carol Johanson Lundin wrote at the end of May: More sad news. Betsy Worrell Hamilton died this past Monday (5/23/16). She was so brave through her illness. Always fun to visit. I will miss her. Brenda Sherman Merchant and I were the only classmates there. We are getting fewer and fewer. I was at my grandson's graduation in Chicago and am so grateful I came home in time for the funeral. It was at St. Martin's. You can read her obituary on ProJo.com. More sad news for the Lincoln alumnae magazine. Lois Peterson, whose handwriting has always been enviably neat, wrote last May despite recuperating from a right wrist operation. She was sad to miss reunion and shocked to hear that Paula Young Andrew had passed away soon afterwards. She and Paula had started Henry Barnard together and finished Lincoln together. When she wrote, Lois was staying at home caring for her good friend, Karen, who had had surgery and chemotherapy followed by serious neuropathy which left her unable to walk unsupervised. On the bright side, she spent a wonderful 12 days in British Columbia (July 2015), has routinely spent winters until this last on the Gulf among many friends (enjoying music especially), and was looking forward to visiting her godson and his wife in Jackson Hole.

Patricia Laurans ’57 received the 2017 American Kennel Club Lifetime Achievement Award for Conformation in October.
Our summers, from June through September, are spent at our summer cottage at Salisbury Beach on the ocean, with a spectacular view of the morning sunrise from our bedroom window. We can walk a mile on the beach to the mouth of the Merrimack River. Our oldest daughter, Elizabeth, lives year round at the beach, and on the other side we share the seven weeks or so with Katie, her husband, Jim, Grace, Caroline and their two dogs. My sister, Priscilla Allen Doel ’57, retired from teaching Spanish at Colby College and lives in Vassalboro, Maine, the hometown of Ann Cates Higgins. I drive up to visit a few times each year, but have never tried to locate Ann. This morning, George and I went to a Memorial Service, where we remembered four of our local students who lost their lives fifteen years ago on 9-11. A reminder to us all how delicate is the balance of life. I feel it is our obligation to remember and teach our young people born after that day the sacrifices made by so many. Indeed, we are so lucky to be able to rise and shine each morning.

Judy Austin ’59 enjoyed watching the blue-footed boobies’ mating dance on a recent trip to the Galapagos Island of Seymour Norte.
Constance Almy McGill ’57 and her husband, Darwin, celebrated their 40th anniversary on a cruise with family. Constance Almy McGill ’57 hosted a gala celebration for the 85th birthday of her husband, Darwin. sometime! Cooper belongs to my grandson, Sam (son of Laura and Chris), and his wife, Nell. In addition to Cooper, on June 3, 2015, Wyatt Nicolas and Skylar Phoebe were born to our grandson, Nicholas, and his wife, Ashley. They are cute, like Cooper, and keep us and all the adults on our toes. Our big event this year was a trip to Nashville, Tennessee with our three daughters. We were honoring Stacey’s 50th and my belated one. We did lots of sight-seeing, in addition to seeing shows and visiting lots of restaurants! It was so much fun being with the three girls, and also watching them have fun on their own. Hope we get to do something like that again. We are preparing to go to Florida (Venice to be exact) the day after Christmas. If David had his way, we would already be there, but I prefer to stick around and see a few football and basketball games. Our grandson, Jack, was a co-captain for his football team, and now he is about to start the basketball season in a similar position of honor. This is his senior year, so we will have a graduation in June. We are both well, or as well as can be expected for our ages!

CLASS SCRIBE: JUDY AUSTIN 24 WIDGEON LANE WESTPORT, MA 02790 MERRYJUDY41@GMAIL.COM Dear classmates, so many of your emails come back as no longer valid. Couldn't each of you just drop me a one word up-to-date email at merryjudy41@gmail.com so I can get you back in the loop? Randa Bishop wrote, “My most recent news is that I had an exhibition of 95 framed and matted photographs this past summer at The Patmos Cultural Center, located in the harbor town on the island of Patmos, Greece, for 10 days from July 31 through August 9. In connection with the exhibit, I self-published a 116-page book entitled On the Road. Because I have been a travel photographer published mostly in books and magazines over the past 30 years and have also been going to Patmos Island for nearly 30 years, the exhibit included many photos of Patmos that were taken at dusk or at night, quite a few with the moon and/or stars, and some with “traffic trails,” long exposures which showed the stream of red and white lights made by moving cars during the exposure. Also included were photos taken in several other cities such as San Antonio and Austin, Texas, plus Midwest cities such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Lincoln, Nebraska; Wichita, Kansas; and Grand Rapids, Michigan.”
Alice Drew Turner is happy so many Lincoln girls are in the Westport Harbor area: Judy Wisbach Curtis ’60, Linda Breymeier Holmes and me. She and Linda went to Mass at St. Stephen's in Providence to hear Faure's Requiem in November. She says, “Can't understand why I remember most of the Latin. Wonderful evening. Such great music. Found myself thinking how lucky we were. Mr. Hallan and Lincoln.” I remember singing the Requiem in St. George's beautiful chapel. I'll bet many of you do, too. Linda Breymeier Holmes echoed all these sentiments, adding that she and Alice remembered Helen Lucke Sciarrino's beautiful voice singing the In Paridisum. Linda says she heard it in the boarding department all the time. What a lovely, talented classmate who is no longer with us and whom we miss. Ruth Phillips Gulick wrote, “I lost the election to the NH House by 80 votes; I won't be going back. So I'm officially a self-declared recovering politician. Campaigning was a blast, and I'd love to help someone else get elected. Kids, grandkids, and squeeze continue to be perfect. Sad note: I'll be going to the Isle of Wight for my sister Anne's funeral. She died after many months in the hospital. Love to everybody." Bob and I enjoyed a trip to the Galapagos in August, though we found it a little rigorous. I liked the blue-footed boobies' mating dance the best. They try to show off their blue feet to win a mate. Had a quick Caribbean cruise from NYC to Barbados in November, and then welcomed my sister, Beth Austin Jester ’62, and her husband, Leven, along with all my children and grands for Thanksgiving. After Christmas, we sailed from San Francisco to New Zealand, where we planned to meet up with Jane Ingraham MacCloskey and Craig.

Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim: Our best news this year is the arrival of our sixth grandchild, born to my son, Chad, and his husband, Adam—it's their first! Her name is Nina Sterling Nilsen and she arrived on July 27. The two daddies are easily taking her presence in stride and loving every minute. Little Nina joins her cousins Melissa (20), Alexandra (15), Jackson (13), Esme (9) and Charlotte (5). They all love to pass Nina around for hugs and kisses. Fun to have a new baby in the house again! Once again, same time every year, Susie Lynch Ruddy planned her return flight from Bali to Anchorage with a two-day stopover in Oakland. We had a memorable and noisy birthday party (at my daughter Elizabeth's house) for Susie and me to celebrate our 75th birthdays, and to also celebrate 75 years of friendship—yes, it's true. Entertainment was by our song and dance kid, Esme, a festive dinner by Elizabeth and Chad and spouses, laughing over silly stories from our childhood, and gratitude for our long and still strong sisterhood. David and I are grateful to be healthy and active—I still thrive on my yoga classes. We're glad we moved out of the San Francisco Bay Area (13 years ago) to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Lake Tahoe. We love swimming in the lake and in the Yuba River. For our ocean fix, we took our sentimental journey home to Westport Harbor, which is forever my soul home.

On a travel note, Karen and Dick are just back from a visit to Seattle, Washington, where they spent time with Dick's grandchildren Greta, 7, and Charlie, 5. They are now visiting Karen’s daughter and family, particularly granddaughter Nathalie, 5, in Austin, Texas. Her son, Jonathan, and his family have moved back to the US from Cape Town, South Africa. Karen now has the joy of seeing him and Caitlin much more often, since they are living in Wellesley, Massachusetts with Calliope, 8, and Theo, 2-1/2. Nancy Rapelye Godfray writes about her travels, her hobby, and her talented grandchildren: “Tom and I are keeping super busy in our retirement. Traveled through six European countries between June and October this year, mostly independently, and Portugal and Ireland on “Go Ahead Tours” - highly recommend them. I keep up with my art, painting two times a week at the Providence Art Club, and exhibiting there and at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society (won a Northeast Regional award this fall).

Jennifer Goff Blumenthal and her husband, Ralph, celebrated their 50th anniversary in July at The Waldheim on Big Moose Lake, New York with their extended family. A great time was had by all. In October, Ralph and Jenni went on their second honeymoon to St. Martin, where the population has increased from 9000 during their first trip in 1966 to the current 72,000—a giant number of changes!

Head of School Suzanne Fogarty shared exciting plans for the future of teaching of science at our wonderful school.”

Lots as always from Martha Kay Mann, our biggest world traveler and volunteer. She is a hard act to follow and it is impossible to quote only bits and pieces from her letter. Here it is in its entirety. She writes: ”2016 has been a busy year. We continue to be in good health and remain active in our community and volunteer activities. We continue to travel as often as we can. This year we have traveled to Morocco— just fabulous! We were there almost a month and traveled from the north (Tangiers) to the southern area and the town of Essaouira, from the Atlantic Ocean to Morocco-Algerian border. We were in the mountains, the cities and the desert. The Moroccan people were warm and friendly. We visited them in their homes, ate with them and learned about their lives. We stayed in a bed and breakfast in a farm area where we learned how to make cheese and my Phil was the first-place winner in a pottery contest. We loved the Sahara, where we stayed in a camel wool tent with stunning Berber rugs. We even were out fossil hunting and having a great time when a sand storm hit. Boy! Did the sand sting as it hit our faces, and there was sand in our hair, eyes, ears and all other places one can imagine. Next up was Colorado for a week in June in the Rocky Mountain National Park. In July, I went east to join my sisters for a celebration of the three of us: our 75th, 70th and 60th birthdays. We went to Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine, for a fun five days together. Then in July, we were off to southern New Mexico for a long weekend in the mountains around Silver City. September brought another international trip to Albania and old Yugoslavia (Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia). Then home for our International Balloon Fiesta where approximately 750 balloons from all over the world descend on Albuquerque. Nine days of balloons and 70,000 people on the field with the balloons at one time! Here I volunteer with Homeland Security working to assure the
safety of the Fiesta. Three days of rest, and off we went on a domestic trip to southern Utah to finish a trip from last year that ended because of flash flooding. The weather was perfect and we took in several beautiful parks: Natural Bridges, Arches, Canyonlands and Hovenweep. Home for Thanksgiving, and then we depart for Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania from December 21 through January 28, 2017. This trip will complete our visits to seven continents. A new year ahead and lots more awaits us! We wish you all well and may life be gentle.” Georgia Smith Regnault: I had the very distinct honor of receiving a high Dutch decoration—Knight in the Order of Oranje-Nassau. I thought that the Lincoln Distinguished Service Award, received on the occasion of my 50th Reunion, was tremendous, but this has topped everything. Part of the uniqueness of such a decoration is that it is kept completely secret from the recipient, and it was only when I saw my family (including two sons who had flown in from the USA) and friends enter a room where I was attending a symposium on human trafficking, that I realized something 'big' was going to happen! Carolyn Shelley: In October, I started volunteering at a nearby branch of the Austin Public Library. As a result, I have been reading more. Except for a 10-day trip to Minnesota in July, we grandparent from afar. Our grandson, Jesse, took his mother to a dinner theater for her birthday. Wyatt was elected his high school's Homecoming King. And your scribe, Jacquelyn Nancy Savoie Medina, and her husband, Jeremy, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (as did Jennifer Goff Blumenthal) in July with a surprise party in Westhampton given by daughters, and another later on in Clinton given by friends. We traveled to Spain, our favorite haunt, stayed a few days in Madrid to see friends and eat at our favorite restaurants, and then went north to Santiago de Compostella, stopping at villages along the way. In May, we will go on a much anticipated 50th anniversary cruise from Prague to Berlin, a cruise we had to cancel last year due to my husband Jeremy’s recurring back problem. All seems to be better now. We continue to spend summers in Westhampton seeing all of our children and grandchildren. Life is good! I hope all you classmates are healthy and happy. Those of you who have not ever contributed any news, I would love to hear from you when I request a few lines for the summer magazine.

Of course, she and Scott have a son, Mark, who was almost 11 months old at the ceremony. My son, Christopher, a teacher, officiated at the wedding - isn't the internet great? He married three years ago, and has a daughter, Lake. Of course, they live at our family home on a lake in Green Pond in northern New Jersey. I play a lot of golf and bridge—had to give up paddle and tennis before the knees went! I enjoy my Florida home in West Palm in winter months, and Jody, who lives in Buffalo, visits for about seven weeks with the baby. Our tradition now is for the whole family to celebrate Christmas together in Florida. My best to everyone! Barbara Getzoff Huff: I'm saddened to read of the many classmates who have passed away, and surprised to see how many are out of touch with the school. Thank you so much for keeping up with our class.
Although I was at Lincoln for just two brief years, it was a growth experience that has served me well over the years. I was given the great gift of living with my cousin, Lynne Levinson, and uncle, Raymond Laurans. They could not have been more gracious, generous or loving while I was away from home for the first time. I'm deeply grateful for those blessings. Wishing you all a healthy, happy year ahead.

I am a member of the Friends of Pine Island Library, and try to fit in yoga 2-3 times per week. Bill picks up food weekly for our local food bank. We try to fit in travel. This September we traveled to Seattle for a few days, then took a seven-night cruise to San Francisco and Victoria, British Columbia, before returning to Seattle. We hope to return to Italy next year. I am a 10-year breast cancer survivor, and I hope all of you had your mammo this year!. I've modeled in some local fashion shows to raise money for breast cancer treatment locally. We have seven grandchildren between us, ranging in age from 4-25, and try to spend time with them. I can’t believe we have lived here for 12 years - the time flies!

CLASSNOTES This past summer in early July, we spent two glorious weeks in Basque Country. We had never been to that part of Southern France and Northern Spain, and loved it so much that we are returning next summer to spend time in some areas that we “discovered” but didn’t have time to linger in. Then in late July, we had a family reunion with Marty’s family in Canon Beach, Oregon. Marty has three grown children and six grandchildren, so there was a lot of advance planning. To end the summer, we rented a home on Nantucket Island in Surfside, smack on the ocean. This is where I manage to satisfy my appetite for lobster rolls (something that I miss as a West Coaster). On one of my trips to Chicago in May, Marty and I drove up to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where we had dinner with my long-time childhood friend Carole English Twombly and her husband, Steve. They live in Holland, Michigan, which is about a two-hour drive from Lake Shore Drive. So I hope to see Carole again when I am in town. She too has a new home, and is finally settled in a condo near friends and some family. Please send me your news. It was a bit sparse this time.

Please share your news in the next issue of The Lincoln Magazine. Shirley Merk Blackall: Here is a write up I did for our North Palm Beach Rowing Club. I am the Vice-President on the Board of Directors for this non-profit rowing organization. We have a strong juniors rowing program, for which I have been helping coach this year, as well as a rowing program for Masters. I started rowing five years ago, and love the sport. It is the main reason I moved to Florida four years ago. Now I can row and race year round. The photo I included was taken as I raced in the Head of the Charles River Regatta in October 2016. It shows me approaching the Weeks River bridge for a sharp turn under the bridge, which is one of six bridges in this winding, 4800-meter course. Each year, in October, for the past 52 years, rowers from around the world have trained to compete in one of the most challenging and highly-competitive “head” races on the Charles River in Boston. According to Wikipedia, "It is the largest two-day regatta in the world, with 11,000 athletes rowing in over 1,900 boats in 61 events. It attracts tens of thousands of spectators during regatta weekend.” The banks of the river on both the Cambridge and Boston sides are lined with white tents housing both vendors and visitors from hundreds of universities, high schools and rowing clubs. Everyone is there to experience
CLASSNOTES
Classmates remembered Hope Freeman Hudner ’69 at her Celebration of Life memorial service. Members of the Class of 1968 at their biannual luncheon in September. the excitement and joy of rowing. This year alone, 820 clubs participated. It is a honor to be given the opportunity to race, since for this “head” race alone the entries are limited. There are many who would like to race, especially in the singles category, who simply are not selected. Others may have to wait years to get a chance to row there. For both 2015 and 2016, I was excited to represent NPBRC in this very special race in the singles category. This year being my fifth year of rowing, I still find it amazing to be racing against other rowers who have challenged themselves in getting better each year for most of their lives. The most exciting part for me is learning the course and finding the best line to take through each of the six bridges that are all set at different angles. The other challenge is to continue to push myself each day of the year in both technique and strength training to get faster, since the real competition is against myself to see how much better I can perform compared with the previous year. For those young and old who take up rowing, it is a sport that can bring so much satisfaction in your own personal achievement. The learning process is life-long and is the joy. Finding the best coaches possible to help you reach your goals makes it all the more rewarding.
We all shake our heads on how we can possibly be having our 50th reunion in less than two years. Where did the years go to? For classmates that have never been back to Lincoln since graduation, you should seriously think about returning for our special reunion to reunite with your classmates. We really do have a fun time when we all get together.

Her step-daughter, Julie, works for the New Jersey Department of Human Services. Linda and Uli have seven grandchildren, aged 10-16, and greatly enjoy hosting them often in Princeton, New Jersey. Christine Ressler Weinberg: I retired in 2015. I was thinking of getting a part-time job, but have not done so yet. I live very near the
University of Miami, and there is an Osher Lifelong Learning Center there with over 1,000 50+ members/students. I have been taking a wide variety of classes there, and am also on the curriculum committee, which has been extremely interesting. Hard for me to believe I have lived in Miami for 40 years! I still enjoy the city, although traffic is horrendous, and you need to plan your day accordingly. I love mass transit - unfortunately, ours is ineffective. I still get up to New England once or so a year—family in Connecticut. Thinking ahead to our 50th Reunion—hope a lot of us are able to attend.

CLASS SCRIBE: KAREN WELLS 5620 N. HUDSON STREET PORTLAND, OR 97203 TAF@GCI.NET This past year, I was in the process of moving from Juneau to Portland, Oregon. I am successfully relocated in a wonderful city with lots of dog parks and wonderful places to walk, as well as lovely golf courses. The weather is perfect and I already had a built-in community of Juneau ex-pats, so have landed softly. In my move, I neglected to bring Class Notes together, and in January, we lost our beloved friend Hope Freeman Hudner. Hope was a beautiful, vivacious, caring and sophisticated woman of the world. In her presence, I felt like a country bumpkin in the presence of "the queen." And, at the same time, we connected on a very deep and intimate level, as she did with all of us. She had gained an enormous amount of empathy and compassion from her life experiences, and was always fun to have a great conversation

Cathy Brown: For the past two-and-a-half years, members of our class who live locally have been gathering twice a year for an informal luncheon get-together. In September, we met at Luciano's in Wrentham. This was an ideal location, since classmates came from north, south, east and west of the restaurant. Each time we have gathered, different classmates have come. This was Penny Guy Morgan's first time seeing any classmates
since graduation. Cheryl Manelis Smith had not seen any of her classmates in over a decade. Edie Gattis Colonero, Nancy Rego Moger and Cathy Brown also were in attendance. We had a fun time chatting away on all sorts of topics. We all look forward to gathering again in the spring. There were many classmates who were disappointed they could not come in September. Hopefully many more classmates will be able to make the spring gathering.

I applied for and received a long-term visa that allows me stay for longer than three months, which is what I had been doing for the last six summers. I spend much of my time singing and playing guitar, often supporting Ananda meditation and yoga teachers as they travel around Europe. In October, I went to Milano Italy, Leon, Spain, and Belgrade, Serbia. I've just returned from the Holy Land, where I directed the music for a pilgrimage. Next up, programs in Palermo, Sicily, followed by Milano again. What a life! I am beyond grateful to be doing what I love most and sharing inspirational music. I will be back in the US for a visit this spring, and would love to see classmates. Maybe we can have a pre-reunion reunion! 45 years. Can't believe that!

This is my fourth year back in Providence, Rhode Island after a long absence, and I am enjoying the familiar/ unfamiliar. Every time I drive by Lincoln, I am reminded of what a significant role Lincoln has played in my life.

It has also been great running into Sara Low ’79 in the neighborhood!! I would love to connect with those of you who are around. Carolyn Shartenberg Lavin: In 2016, I marked ten years with my own marketing/ communications business, primarily geared towards professionals in law, accounting, finance and technology. I do a lot of writing and marketing strategy, and work with super smart people. More than one of my clients has remarked about the caliber of Lincoln School when referencing my professional bio. My daughters have both followed in my footsteps a bit. My oldest daughter is a journalist in Frederick, Maryland, and I am pleased to say she is as much of a feminist and grammar geek as I am. My younger daughter just finished college with a business and marketing degree, and is working, like my husband, in higher ed in her first job in the academic advising office at URI. My husband anticipates retiring in the next few years from his long-time job as head of the Counseling Center at RIC.

Reunion is all different now. Cocktails were served in a tent on the lawn in front of the Copper Beech tree. We then went inside through the big red doors for dinner. Each class was assigned a separate place in the school to enjoy a beautiful meal. Somehow, our class was sent to the principal’s office. But it no longer is styled in Miss Shaffner’s signature look. It is now a bright and airy room, with minimal furniture and a cool vibe. Most walls are painted white in a “whiteboard” fashion, so we were given pens and were encouraged to write anything we wanted. Notice I said “most” walls. Well, one Maggie Berking Daigle made a mark on a wall and it was so loved by Suzanne Fogarty that she promised to never paint over it. We also were the loudest group around. So...not much has changed. After dinner we retreated to the tent and heard some live acoustic music. It was quite fun. I really don’t have much new news to share.

I will share what she sent me: http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/06/19/ fashion/weddings/unhitching-divorce concierge-service.html “I forwarded the article above so you can see what I'm doing! Oddly enough, after this article I got bombarded with producers for a tv show. I thought I'd get some clients, but looks like the show won! I'm in contract now with a production company to develop a semi-scripted reality show. So yes, I'm in it. Kind of the last thing I wanted to do, but it brands me. I'm with CAA in Los Angeles as my agency, and now we are beginning a book as well. Self-help to hopefully roll out with the show. So yes, a lot going on! I'm also opening an office in London as well, as it’s the divorce capital of the world! If not enough, my son, Kevin, is applying to colleges, as he is a senior in the city. So this all comes at a perfect time before he goes away! Not much else to tell, as this is pretty much consuming my life. In a great way! I'm sorry I missed the reunion! I'm doing an episode of Cake Boss next week on divorce cake with a client, so look out for that in the new year. Once things get rolling, I will post on Facebook to keep people up to date. Fingers crossed! Exciting times.

Know any smart, ambitious young women looking at colleges? Send them my way! Mackie Ramsden Feeney's daughter, Tyler, goes there, and I ran into her on campus last year; what a lovely surprise! In June, I graduated from the RISD Advertising Design Certificate program after two years of hard work learning new skills to reposition myself in the job market. I’ve included a picture of me and Mary-Jo Haronian at my RISD graduation (she's my biggest cheerleader!), where I was honored to be chosen as the student speaker. Then I went on a three-week tour of France, Spain and England (mostly on my own, meeting friends in various cities). It was a little daunting, traveling by myself, but I flexed my independence muscles and really enjoyed every minute of seeing the world. This August, I launched my own business as a freelance advertising professional—Samina Arif Advertising Design. I didn't even have my portfolio online yet, and a client landed in my lap almost immediately—how lucky! I'm working hard at my new profession, playing tennis and doing yoga to stay healthy, and looking after my parents at home here in North Smithfield. On an even more personal note, I'm grateful to Mary-Jo Haronian, Nancy Nahigian Tavitian and Cheryl Levine, who have been
very supportive of me in the face of rising Islamophobia in this country. At Lincoln, I always felt accepted for who I was, though I was probably one of the first Muslim students at the school. And I applaud Lincoln's continuing commitment to the Quaker tradition of tolerance, and embracing differences and diversity in all its students. I'm looking forward to seeing classmates at our 35th Reunion and feel really lucky that my life has led me back to Rhode Island.” I am enjoying my final year of having a child at home before the empty nest condition hits next fall. Nick's senior year is off to a great start, as his high school soccer team won the state championship and he was accepted Early Decision to Wake Forest. Very happy to be done with the college application process! Ben is having a great junior year at Dartmouth, and Ali loves living in New York City and working as a gallery assistant at the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery.

CLASS SCRIBE: INGA SULLIVAN RUSSELL 76 ORCHARD VALLEY DRIVE CRANSTON, RI 02921-2596 I.RUSSELL@COX.NET Our class enjoyed two 30th reunion celebrations! We had our first one at the Coast Guard House in Narragansett on July 8. It was a beautiful Rhode Island summer night. We had a great evening, filled with good food, drinks and lots of laughter! Unfortunately, many couldn’t make it for various reasons, but I have included some of their responses. Carolyn Buonanno Chase wrote, “Sadly, I will not be able to make the reunion! I have a cool trip scheduled for ten days, starting that week…Moses Brown is paying for me to travel to Rome and study more Latin and ancient history so that I can be a better teacher! So I am off on an exciting adventure. Say hello and send my love to all.“ Beth Laurence wrote, “It's great to hear from you! I hope you're doing well. I'm sorry I can't make it—I'd love to see you all! I'm often in Rhode Island for the 4th of July, but this year we're coming in August. Maybe next year? Tell everyone I said hello!”

Kathrin Pagonis Belliveau wrote, “Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend, as we will be away for my brother's wedding. Best wishes for a successful reunion— sending my warmest regards to all.” We had a second opportunity to celebrate at Lincoln’s Alumnae and Reunion Weekend in September. Our classmate, Elizabeth Davis, was recognized with a Distinguished Service Award at the luncheon. They also had class dinners on campus that allowed each group to catch up and enjoy an evening together. Many of us had children that graduated from high school this year. Kris Beecroft Miranda and I, Inga Sullivan Russell, both had sons graduate from Hendricken. Her son, Max, is attending University of South Carolina and my son, Matthew, is at University of Vermont. Our boys were born six weeks apart, and so we have shared every step of their growth together. We both agree that leaving your first born at college is definitely one of the toughest things we’ve had to do as mothers.

CLASSNOTES
Caroline (Callie) Knowles Clapp ’85
While at Lincoln, Callie embraced all aspects of high school life. She was a three-sport varsity athlete, competing in field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse, and a conscientious student. In addition, she made a close group of dear friends, all of whom stayed close long after their time on Butler Avenue had ended. Callie’s hard work landed her at her parents’ alma mater, Colby College, in Waterville, Maine, and she graduated in 1989. The best friend she made at Colby was her husband, William (Bill) Clapp, who asked her to marry him on the day of her graduation. Callie began her professional life as a history teacher and coach at Berwick Academy. After giving birth to her oldest child, Bernard, Callie provided in-home day care to family friends, while attending Boston College to earn her master’s degree in social work. She put her new degree to use when she joined the part-time staff at Wells Elementary School to counsel students, and after all of her kids were of school-age, she added another part-time job at York Hospital Home Care to her work week. In more recent years, she worked as a full-time social worker in Portland, and then in Kittery. Before Callie died on July 31 at the age of 49 from breast cancer that had metastasized to lung cancer, she embraced quality time with her three children. A resident of South Berwick, Maine, she visited her son, Bernard, a rising senior at Skidmore College, who spent the spring semester in Japan. Before and after this trip, she prepared her middle daughter, Caroline, a rising Dickenson College sophomore, for training at Camp Wyonegonic, where she would serve as a counselor for the youngest group of campers for seven weeks. Callie also prepared her youngest, Ainsley, a rising high school junior, for a three-week service trip in the Dominican Republic.

Despite her declining health, she sent her children, who she described as her “greatest achievement," away this summer to seek adventure, find their passions and live life to the fullest. They all gathered at the end of July to be by her side as she passed away peacefully at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Callie’s Lincoln friends remember the joy of talking with her and, for those who knew her, Callie liked to talk…and talk, and talk. But her true talent was listening. Her friends also knew that there was no one was better at feeling fear and then moving past it than Callie Knowles Clapp. She was admired, loved, and will be missed dearly by her Lincoln family. The Callie Knowles Clapp '85 Go Global Fund has been established at Lincoln to support tuition assistance for Lincoln's global programs.

For the past 13 years, I have been the Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of East Providence, and get the privilege of working to make life better for children in need in my hometown. Between work and having a ridiculous number of children, I don't have a ton of free time, but I run everyday and love to cook. As long as our reunion doesn't conflict with my fall work trip, I'll be there, and I'd also be happy to see folks before that if it works out! I’ve included some pictures from a recent family photo shoot we did of my gang (who would have thought we would turn out to be breeders - I did NOT see that plot twist coming!). Jennifer Kilberg Simotics: I am living in Roswell, Georgia with my husband, Frank, son, Austin, who is 9, our two cats, a saltwater fish tank, a Koi pond, four tree frogs, and two dogs, Otis and Kona. We are an animal-loving family :). We just got a new puppy named Otis. I still love painting and taking pictures. Since I moved to the suburbs, I really enjoy gardening and playing tennis. I work as a creative marketing consultant with commercial photographers, illustrators, and directors. Hoping to make our next reunion.
Nicky De Tarnowsky O’Malley: I am living in Sudbury, Massachusetts with my husband, Mike, son, Owen (12), and daughter, Murphy (10). I am a stay-at-home mom, so I do a little of everything - help at school, lead Girl Scout troop, help out with Boy Scouts, play tennis as much as I can, work part-time for a friend’s business: hot pepper seeds. Going to try and make the next reunion. It would be fun to see you all in person! Jessica Pickman: I live in Huntersville, North Carolina with my six-year-old daughter, Arizona and her two fur brothers, Frank and Jojo. I work at Ballyhoo360, a full-service marketing agency, as the Marketing Director. I play golf as much as I can with Arizona, and paddleboard in the summer. I am sad to say that my father passed away in March of 2015 from lung cancer. I really hope to see everyone soon. Hilary Rubin: Hello Class of 1992! I am living in Attleboro, Massachusetts with my husband, Bruce White Jr., and his daughter, Samantha, who is attending Worcester State University this year as a junior. We have a four-year-old boxer/lab rescue dog, Rye, who is my angel. I am working for Teknor Apex Company, selling plastic resin to injection molders and extruders in North America.

I lead an educational nonprofit in New York called Institute of Play – our mission is to transform education through play. I am lucky to be able to work with a team of game designers and educators who are passionate about learning and education—it keeps me busy, but has the benefit of providing me with a continuous stream of super fun learning activities to play with my kids! I have been there since 2008, when I left teaching to finish my PhD in Urban Education and was hired to help design a new NYC public school called Quest to Learn. The school had its first graduating class in June, so now our work focuses on supporting the development of innovative new schools and running teacher professional development across the country—and we’ve started to do work in teacher education. Would love to attend the next reunion—I believe I was at my brother’s wedding in New Orleans the weekend of our 20th, so that’s why I missed it! Rebecca Chandler Schulte: I live in Norton, Massachusetts with my mother, husband, daughter (who is an amazing artist), and our many furry friends: one dog, two cats, six bunnies, and two gerbils. Plus we have lots of fish. I am a licensed massage therapist, Reiki Master Teacher and advanced energy bodywork specialist with 1700+ hours of study in different types of massage and energy bodywork techniques. I love writing, researching new modalities of healing, doing crystal monographs and charts, and expanding my knowledge base.
I hope to make it to the next reunion. Bridge Little Torrey: I love in Portsmouth, Rhode Island with my husband, Ted, daughters, Teghan (12) and Piper (10), and

Ady Symonds-Wheeler: I live in Narragansett with my husband, Blue, daughter, Hadley (10) and son, Kai (8). We spend a lot of time on the water when it’s warm, and head to the mountains when it’s snowing. I currently serve on two local boards, and work at the Quest Montessori School teaching science in the elementary grades. I haven't gone to any reunions yet but I'd love to see all of you!

Earlier that morning, Amy and I went to listen to Sarah speak to the seventh grade computer class about women and technology. Since graduating from Brown, Sarah has worked for Google, so she shared her experiences with the girls. They were very interested in the Google car! On Friday afternoon, Amy and I headed to Lower School to go down memory lane. We ran into Mrs. Donnelly, who is still at the front desk, and our first grade teacher, Mrs. Ford! Both look exactly the same! On Saturday morning, Karenna, Amy, Katie, Abby and I attended the Mimosa Brunch, where Abby received the Young Alumnae Award. Abby and I started a secret group for the Class of 2001. Be sure to accept our invite

Larson Bennett: After my freshman year, some of my friends from Dartmouth and myself decided to enroll in a month-long program at the London School of Economics. The word life-changing does not do the experience justice. Sure, I knew I would be living in the heart of one of the most cultured and happening cities in the entire world, but I still wouldn’t quite ‘get it’ until after my month was up. The musicals and museums
CLASSNOTES much to offer. I highly recommend renting a paddle boat and exploring the canals with friends! I am sure if I had had more time that I would have several other recommendations as well. My time spent in London, and the short weekend in Amsterdam, allowed me to create memories that will stay with me forever (as cliche as that sounds). And yes, while I was in London there were certainly days where the jet lag was real and I simply could not motivate myself to wake up and walk a quarter of a mile to school for my marketing class in the July city heat. Nonetheless, I would never trade anything for my month of euphoria in London.
Jessica Coon ’10 and Ash Mayo at their wedding this summer. were captivating, and the tourist attractions were a great way to fill up an entire day. But there were certain sites, hole-in-the-wall restaurants that could not be discovered unless one was lucky enough to lose themselves in the pure bliss that was the hustling and bustling city of London. The tourist attractions and famous museums, streets and shops are all a definite must for anyone visiting the city; however simply walking around aimlessly with friends, we often found ourselves surrounded by amazing and unique places and people. I will never forget the wonderful Lebanese man I met at my favorite Middle Eastern restaurant, Marroush, only a few blocks from Harrods (another must if anyone is to visit London!). He had stories to share about his life, and advice for me as I lived the rest of mine. One of the few weekends that I was in London, friends and I decided to travel and stay three nights in Amsterdam. Again, incredible doesn’t even begin to describe the place nor the time that was spent. It is a city that I hope I have the pleasure of visiting again. While the city is known for its coffee shops and rather notorious red light district, there is so much more that is worth exploring. Museums, restaurants, clubs…the city has so
Emma Peloquin: I didn't really believe college would go by so fast, but here I am reflecting that senior year is right around the corner and college is almost over. My experience at University of Massachusetts, Amherst has been wonderful. I have made great friends, and the memories I have made at school have been endless. Academically, I have explored many areas. I at first was a public health major, but realized it was not the best fit for what I wanted to do in my future career, so I switched to a bachelor of art's degree in economics. The switch was challenging at first (lots of math), but I really do enjoy most of the subject matter! Additionally, I'm excited to announce I will be studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain for my Spring 2017 semester. Due to Lincoln's great language program, I feel very confident with my Spanish skills and I hope to improve my fluency abroad. I will be attending Universitat de Autonòma de Barcelona, and will be enrolled in a few business classes and Spanish. In addition to my college experience, during the summer of 2016 I was able to intern at Hasbro (the toy company) and was on the Growth Channels Sales team. This was an
incredible experience, because I was able to intern for a global company! I learned so much about how sales works and the strategies that have to be implemented in order for a company to be successful. As I continue to explore different fields, I'm eager to participate in more internships and I'm looking forward to my senior year! Candace Powning: For the past five months, I have been studying abroad in Valparaiso, Chile with a Spanish language immersion program. I am living with a host family here, which has been awesome—my host mother teaches Biodanza (which I can best describe as a combination of meditation and dance), and I have been able to take classes with her. I have also had some amazing opportunities to travel to the extreme north and south of the country, and intern for an organization that offers workshops in bioconstruction and sustainable design.

CLASSSCRIBEPROFILE
IN HER OWN WORDS: Lee Newth Roberts ’53
Just prior to beginning to write about my role as Class Scribe for Lincoln’s Class of 1953, I came upon, in my Facebook newsfeed, a brief video of amous filmmaker Stephen Spielberg’s 2016 graduation address at Harvard. His theme was that we all must listen to that “whisper in our ear.” He emphasized that we must listen carefully, as it is “very hard” to hear. I suspect that, like me, you have perhaps not listened for the whisper and, if you have, it has been difficult for you to hear. It took me many years before I finally listened, and what I heard was much of what I had unwittingly learned at Lincoln School. Have confidence, be true to yourself, give back in life, and act on your best instincts. Those become our goals, even if we, at times, sometimes slip back a bit. Just keep at it is what I have learned throughout the years, and those are many in my case!
48 | LINCOLN MAGAZINE
Now, as Class Scribe for the class of 1953, I feel that I am helping others, in my own small way, to reconnect and bond with those who were, and are still, friends and classmates from those most important and special years as Lincoln students. For me, I have made new and closer friendships while I have been, for a short time, in this position. It has meant, perhaps, far more to me than to my fellow classmates. Carla Wright Eaton had been our beloved, humorous and enthusiastic Scribe for many, many years. It was only when she reluctantly resigned due to health issues that I agreed to follow in her role. It was during the time that we co-chaired our major 50th class reunion and our, far smaller, 55th reunion, that Carla and I became very close. We worked hard, organizing, planning and emailing daily to each other; we also had great fun, and even planned non-reunion visits with each other in our homes, as well as visits and lunches together prior to spending wonderful times at the Portland Art Museum. Again, taking on that responsibility was a gift as much to us as it was to our classmates and the school. During the planning of our 60th reunion, I cannot say enough about how much I missed the exchange between myself and Carla. Throughout the years, I became more confident and more aware of my own needs and feelings regarding that which would enrich my life and expand my horizons. Having grown up in my all-girl family and educated at an all-girls
school, I was ready not only to attend a large university, but also to head off to one in another part of the country. Duke University was an eye-opener and just what I had hoped for. I was now living in the South, made close friends from the Mid-West and from the South (very few New Englanders in those years at Duke), and was able to mix with a male student body, both academically and socially.
was a great addition to the course of Islamic history I had taken at the Université de Genève. I actually was re-admitted to Duke, was credited for my grades on the Dean’s List and turned in my sorority pin when a sorority leader arrived from California and told our chapter that we should not admit Asian women. That was, to me, offensive, racist and unacceptable, and I could no longer consider myself a member of such a group.
The education at Duke was topnotch; I chose history as my major and also loaded my schedule with French courses. Miss Babcock had been my excellent French teacher at Lincoln; her class definitely became the reason for my interest in continuing with the language and its literature. My major was clearly the result of my experience in Mrs Giangreco’s history class at Lincoln, where we students sat in a circle (Mrs. G was well ahead of her time), an arrangement which made expressing our thoughts, questions and opinions far more comfortable, as well as actually exciting. I also remember clearly her final assignment to write a paper on the subject of world peace. I often wonder if Mrs. G might have had an influence on my becoming an avid peace activist later in life.
I have never actually had a career, as I was married and our first-born arrived one week before our first anniversary. However, I did enjoy two years working in the Development Office at Harvard Business School where my boss was a strong and capable woman, a wonderful role model, as was Miss Eddy for me while working at Wellesley College in the President’s office after my marriage. I must add that those were brief, but both excellent learning experiences for me.
Another vivid Lincoln memory of a completely different sort is the meaningful tradition of step-singing. I loved my membership on the committee to write the words to the familiar songs our class had chosen for that most special occasion. It was also exciting as seniors to be graduating and leaving the steps to the juniors, a symbol of their upcoming responsibility as seniors in the following school year, but also bittersweet to be bidding farewell to Lincoln School. Now back to Duke. As a sophomore, I wanted to join the Smith School Junior Year Abroad program in Geneva. It was the perfect choice for me as a history major and a student highly interested in the French language. A major drawback was that Duke was completely against the idea and threatened not allowing me back as a senior. I took the plunge in spite of the risk and had one of the best experiences of my entire life. I spoke French on a daily basis, was taught in French in all my classes, lived with a French-speaking Swiss family and made many close friends among the non-American students; I must admit they were all men! During five weeks of spring vacation, I traveled in Spain with another “Smithie” and made many new friends Filipino, Spanish and others - and spent nights in family-owned pensiones, known to one of my male Swiss Université de Genève classmates. It was an opportunity to visit Islamic mosques and the Alhambra, which
I kept busy with a husband and four children and found that, throughout those many years, I did participate as a volunteer in many worthwhile school and community activities. Learning and growing were important to me, as I had been a student at Lincoln and had been influenced by those ideals which had been unwittingly absorbed by me. Whether it was working on a safe bicycle path for school children riding bikes to school, or heading up a committee on the PTA to increase teacher salaries, or joining the board of our library to increase our book holdings, or sitting on the town Master Plan Committee and Planning Board, or serving as Chair of our daughter’s college Parents Committee along with my husband, or serving on the boards of the Parent Committees of the college of another daughter and those of our two sons, I relished being able to be of assistance in some small way within our children’s schools and colleges, as well as within our communities. It was many years later that I became a peace activist, which for me was the most important volunteer work of my life. I feel strongly about peace, justice and equality, and have throughout my life, so much so that I, along with five others, was arrested for civil obedience during our efforts to protest the illegal and immoral war in Iraq. I greatly admire those who have committed themselves to this end, and I especially applaud President Jimmy Carter for his continuing efforts, even at 90 years of age, towards conflict resolution. I have also worked on many political campaigns, but none more meaningful to me than that of Barack Obama, a President whom, I believe, will be viewed by history as one of our most important.
REPORT OF
GIVING 2015-16
Dear Lincoln Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce our annual report of giving. These pages reflect not only the financial investment in Lincoln, but also the unwavering belief in what we do as an institution.
I’m pleased to share that Lincoln continues to enjoy increased applicants and enrollment, as well as an uptick in local press coverage and a rise in both alumnae and parent engagement.
In 2015-2016, the Lincoln School community compiled an impressive list of accomplishments —updated facilities, record-breaking fundraising, and continued enhancements to our academic and co-curricular programs. The collective generosity of this group has enabled Lincoln to:
• Install solar panels on Boss McLoughlin Gym
• Launch a global travel program to Cuba
• Further our Environmental Stewardship program and burgeoning partnership with the Blackstone Valley Conservancy
• Focus on STEAM education and global learning
• Continually foster the academic potential of each Lincoln girl
While we take pride in our many accomplishments, we will not be complacent, as we know there is always more to do in order for Lincoln to thrive.
I want to thank you each of you for the support you have given us. Your financial investment is a vote of confidence in Lincoln’s future and has allowed us to reach new heights in the present. I look forward to an exciting year ahead as we continue our work together.
With much appreciation,

REPORTOFGIVING
The Lincoln community gathered in the Elwood E. Leonard Jr. Library to celebrate two esteemed former science teachers, Eileen McGrath and Sarah Fogarty, at the Legacy Lunch, an event for Lincoln Foundation members and other special guests. These two inspirational women were recognized for their contribution to a rich history of educating girls and young women.
THE LINCOLN FOUNDATION “I want Lincoln to be here for girls 20, 50, 100 years from now. For this reason, I have made a provision for Lincoln School in my will. As a loyal annual supporter, I know this gift will further my commitment well beyond my lifetime.”

~ Dione Dickenson Kenyon ’72, Lincoln Foundation Member We are sincerely grateful for the generosity of the members of the Lincoln Foundation, all of whom have named Lincoln School in their estate plans to ensure that Lincoln can continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for generations of girls and young women. Today, over 120 alumnae, parents, trustees, and friends of Lincoln School are members of the Lincoln Foundation, our planned giving society, and recent planned gifts have helped support the Dwight House restoration and the renovation of the Murray Athletic Complex at Faxon Farm. These gifts have also been added to the endowment for scholarships, faculty development and new programs to help ensure Lincoln’s long-term financial stability. If you have made a bequest to Lincoln or are considering a planned gift, please let us know so we can make you a member of the Lincoln School Foundation. If you are interested in learning more about planned giving opportunities, please contact Molly Garrison, Director of Advancement, at 401-455-1168 or mgarrison@lincolnschool.org.
