SUZANNE FOGARTY HEAD OF SCHOOL

Friends,

At Lincoln School, our Quaker philosophy weaves its way into all that we do—from silent meetings to our community action and partnerships, from how we teach and learn to helping to form who we are.

We believe in the long view, which is why we start introducing our Quaker principles into Lincoln life beginning with our youngest learners. Through SPICES (Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Service, and Stewardship of the Earth), we engage in deep discussions about what kindness and integrity mean, and how small people can be an invaluable part of our big world. We know that appreciation of, and respect for, silence, equity, and our planet, and compassion for others are most effectively conveyed when the learners start young.

As Mrs. Burbank, a teacher in Grade 2, says, “Being kind takes practice.” Which is why we give our students ample opportunity to do just that. From Lower School through Upper School, our Quaker foundation works to foster caring, empathy, and equity. Seeing firsthand how our students treat, help, listen to, and respect each other is a testament to the strength of the Lincoln sisterhood.

Hand in hand with kindness comes reflection, an integral part of Quakerism. In silent meetings, young people sit quietly for 15 minutes in Lower School to up to an hour in Middle and Upper Schools—a real accomplishment in a world that cannot stop talking! Throughout grade levels, silent meeting evolves to become a respite in an otherwise

crowded day, instilling a lifelong ability to step back, still the mind, and distill our thoughts. Students not only contemplate, but also consider queries, and take the courageous step of speaking their thoughts and truths out loud.

Throughout grades and divisions, our Quakerism is bolstered by the work of The Center for Justice, Peace, and Global Citizenship (read more about it on page 8). Little and Lower School learn through books curated by The Center, a resource that broadens perspectives through recognizing different voices, all while uniting us through the similarities of the human experience. Across divisions, The Center’s interconnected web of student clubs, service partnerships, and program days—like a new student-run conference called The Future is Feminist—empowers each member of the Lincoln School community to make positive and sustainable change. Our Quaker foundation supports all areas of learning, truly contributing to the education of the whole student. It thrills me to see these young people display such confidence, commitment to their communities, and capacity to speak up and strengthen the voices of others—hallmark traits of Lincoln girls of all ages. Looking forward,

Suzanne Fogarty Head of Lincoln School


I cannot overstate this: the skills you are learning at Lincoln are so important... What you learn here will come up in your lives and your work in ways you can’t imagine. All-girls is the way to go. It gives you an unbelievable advantage and it truly pays dividends.

- Leah Tinberg ’12, a NASA mechanical engineer, speaking to a group of Upper School students

WE ARE AN EVOLUTION A Conversation With Terza Lima-Neves ’95, Ph.D.

T

erza Lima-Neves ’95, Ph.D., knows exactly who she is. She is, first and foremost, a Kriola, a Cabo Verdean woman. She is a wife second, a mommy-scholar third. Next, she is an educator. Finally, she is a proud advocate for women and girls.

But perhaps most importantly, Dr. Lima-Neves is a woman who is unafraid to change her mind.

“My identity is very carefully crafted because I am a better human being if I am authentically myself,” said Lima-Neves. “But I am not a fixed state. I change every day and give myself permission to develop and progress. Some people think that means they don’t know themselves, but it’s the opposite; the evolution of feminism depends on women recognizing that we are ourselves an evolution.” 6


ALUMNAPRoFILE Lima-Neves’ first identifier—Kriola—is based on more than a country of origin; it’s a calling. Born and raised in the Republic of Cabo Verde, a small island nation off the Western coast of Africa, her family immigrated to Rhode Island in search of education and opportunities.

“I don’t remember a time when I didn’t know that education was the key to freedom,” said Lima-Neves, now a professor of political science at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Where I came from, many children didn’t have access to school. The only way I was going to get out of that environment and help move my country forward was to seek education, to nurture my mind with all the good information that makes people full human beings.” Even though she didn't speak any English, Lima-Neves attended Jenks Junior High School, a public school in Pawtucket, where she met one of her lifelong mentors, English teacher Mrs. Anderson. A fiery Irish woman, Anderson helped Lima-Neves navigate school, home, and her new environment. She introduced her to Greek salad, the Modern Diner, her first Rhode Island beach, and ultimately to Lincoln School.

“Mrs. Anderson saw me. She believed in me. She solidified my passion and commitment to learning because she knew it would take me on to something bigger,” said Lima-Neves. “She took me on the independent school circuit, and the minute I stepped through those red doors, I felt like I had been personally invited. I felt acknowledged.” When Lima-Neves was accepted to Lincoln, Mrs. Anderson ensured she was able to attend, putting together a collection to raise funds for the hallmark kilt uniform. She also armed Lima-Neves with even more fuel to succeed.

“She pulled me aside and told me that there were people who didn’t want me to go to Lincoln, who were threatened by my success. And then she told me it was my duty to prove each one of them wrong,” said Lima-Neves. “To this day, I carry that confidence with me. Don’t believe the haters, because opinion is not truth. Know who you are. Know where you need to be.” After graduating from Lincoln and earning a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Providence College, as well as a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. in political science from Clark Atlanta University, Lima-Neves followed her mentor’s footsteps into teaching, focusing on African, international, comparative, and gender politics. She is also the founder of Poderoza: An International Conference On Cabo Verdean Women. (“Poderoza” means “empowered woman” in her native language.) Putting the mommy in mommy-scholar, she and her husband are raising a daughter and son to be students of the world and self-assured in their culture and identity.

It’s critical work, and the key is to start early. Though Lima-Neves’ friend and mentor Mrs. Anderson passed away from cancer years ago, her passion lives on in her protege. Whether she’s in the playroom or the classroom, Lima-Neves exudes the confidence she learned at Lincoln and beyond, infusing it into the lessons she teaches to all children.

“There is a serious problem going on right now that girls and women don’t know that they are good enough, and boys and men don’t know what they can do to help. But the cycle changes only when we start having the right conversations,” said Lima-Neves. “That’s why I believe in Lincoln. My Lincoln education empowered me to see my culture first, to be unapologetically me, and to help encourage those around me to break free of this crisis of confidence.”

CENTER oF

Quakerism, Critical Conversations, and a Conduit for Change

I

magine an old building. The walls and doors are strong; the frame is sturdy after centuries of reinforcement. Looking up, it is clear that there is something familiar, yet disorienting about this structure—the sun shines through the roof, the sky is visible overhead. The ceiling is made of glass.

8

Now imagine it’s your life’s work to climb a ladder and break through that ceiling. Women have long been taught that the answer lies in moving upwards, but for students at Lincoln School, the solution is often found by spending time in The Center.


“There’s that resonant and familiar phrase about women: ‘shatter the glass ceiling.’ But at Lincoln we rethink that,” said Dr. Barret Fabris, director of The Center for Justice, Peace, and Global Citizenship, often referred to simply as The Center. “Through the work of The Center and all that we teach here, we empower students not to break the glass ceiling, but to actively dismantle the structure that supports it. That is the only way to ensure real progress when working toward gender equality.” The Center is a cross-divisional entity tasked with tackling critical issues of social justice, gender, diversity, inclusion, multiculturalism, and global citizenship. Its mission has evolved over the years. The Center originated as a force to address diversity and inclusion in the late 1990s as a result of a self-study under former Head of School Julia Eells, on a foundation of work from former Head of School Joan Countryman. For four years The Center benefitted from the guidance of Sterling Clinton-Spellman ’02 and has grown under Dr. Fabris’s leadership to serve as both a location and a community itself. The Center supports student clubs like Model United Nations, Quaker Youth Council, and 2B1, classes like Peace and Conflict Studies and Grade 8’s Human Rights year-long course, and will soon launch community affinity groups. Often one of the busiest places on campus, people seem to gravitate toward The Center, a revamped space on the first floor of Faxon Hall that feels more like a living room than a classroom. Girls are pulled in by the promise of authentic conversations, the potential of deepening community roots, and, perhaps particularly, the recognition of their own agency and capacity to implement change. “The Center lies physically and philosophically at the center of Lincoln,” said Dr. Fabris. “From day one at this school I saw a natural inclination in our girls to challenge authority, and The Center is built on a pedagogy that supports that. We welcome the difficult questions. We want to hear dissenting opinions. This work focuses on empowering students to reflect critically on their surroundings, to examine the narrative they’ve been given, and to formulate their own identity in the face of that. It’s an ever-evolving conduit for change.”

The Center is also the natural home to many of Lincoln’s Quaker principles. Interestingly, one of the oft-asked questions Dr. Fabris encounters addresses Lincoln’s institutional identity as the only all-girls Quaker school in the country: how is it possible to be both an all-girls school and still honor our Quakerism?

“It’s important to name the elephant in the room: we are an enigma to a lot of Quaker schools. Quakerism is built on the concept of equity, so excluding an entire gender from

LINCOLNPRoFILE

enrollment may not make sense at first glance,” said Dr. Fabris while presenting to the Alumnae Board this fall. “But upon further reflection, it seems like we’re a lot more Quaker than most, because at Lincoln we recognize that women in today’s world are still a marginalized group. As a school based on and grounded in notions of social justice, we are committed to actively addressing that marginalization and dismantling those societal structures of support. Being an all-girls school doesn’t make us biased; being an all-girls school is the way to equity.”

With a background in human rights work, a Masters of Science in Global and International Education from Drexel University, and a Doctorate of Philosophy in Peace Education from Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, Dr. Fabris had always felt called to the teaching profession and drawn to do something innovative and important. After moving to Providence with his wife Kristin, a chiropractor, he joined Lincoln first as a soccer coach, then as a history teacher, and finally as the director of The Center.

His work extends into the Fabris home—their daughter Isla is a student in Lincoln’s Little School, and benefits from the cross-divisional nature of her father’s position. In Little School, there’s a Center Library with books that discuss identity, inclusion, and the value of difference. In Lower School, Dr. Fabris’ work dovetails with the SPICES (Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, Service, and Stewardship of the Earth) using service partnerships and literature. In Middle and Upper Schools, The Center is a space for students to both learn and lead.

“The Center provides girls with a lot of opportunities to shape the course of their education and choose from where and whom they learn,” said Dr. Fabris. Students are in charge of, among other things, planning Morgan Stone ’00 Day, a full day dedicated to exploring issues of racial justice; they also help determine the agenda for The Future is Feminist Conference, which was formerly Lincoln’s celebration of International Women’s Day. “That freedom turns teachers into students and students into teachers, and creates informed global citizens with a true capacity for critical reflection that will have a lasting effect on the community and beyond.” Imagine an old building. The glass ceiling looms overhead. But instead of a ladder leading upward, all around are powerful tools to break down the walls, tinder to spark a flame that will raze that building to rubble, making way for a brand new structure, built this time on level ground.

“I come to school every day looking forward to what we can accomplish together, and I am constantly amazed by how much these Lincoln girls are able to teach me,” said Dr. Fabris. “I hope the world is ready for them.”

Advanced Placement

Once again, Lincoln School is leading the way, this time by discontinuing Advanced Placement. This shift allows room for curiosity and collaboration, emphasizing depth of inquiry over breadth of study. Though we’re the first of our peer schools to make this bold choice, Lincoln joins a host of top-tier institutions who have already committed to move beyond the AP:

CHARTING

INDEPENDENCE

Designed for motivated learners who are interested in immersing themselves in a self-designed curriculum, Independent Studies offers the opportunity to research, read, experiment, investigate, reflect, and engage in critical dialogue about a subject of great interest outside our core curriculum. Now in its second year, this flagship program showcases the academic sophistication of some of Lincoln’s most motivated students, preparing them for the demands of college and beyond. Independent Study topics include:

Genomics and Human Health Girls and Social Media

Language and National Identity Creating a Neural Network Using Visual Data

T

his fall, a lucky and talented team of students put their knowledge to the test during a brush with stardom when they represented the bold minds of Lincoln School on a statewide stage for the first ever High School Quiz Show: Rhode Island.

"High School Quiz Show has been around for years, but this is the very first Rhode Island-based one, and we hope, of course, that the very first winners will be an all-girls team," said Quiz Bowl coach and Lincoln English Department chair, Dr. John Minahan. “Every member of the team showed just what makes a Lincoln girl so special: intelligence, courage, and commitment.”

12

Following a rousing qualifying round at Channel 36 Studios in Providence, Lincoln School was selected out of a very competitive group of local schools as one of the final eight teams, and the only one with an all-female lineup. Miranda zito ’18, Grace Harden ’18, Rebekah Potter ’18, Emily Egan ’19, Jamie Chavez ’20, and Salma Alawi ’21 participated in a two-day single-elimination tournament, battling wits to take home the big prize.

POP QUIZ: What is the only all-female team to qualify for High School Quiz Show: Rhode Island? THE ANSWER: Lincoln School!

During the show’s taping at Channel 36 TV Studios, the audience was full of enthusiastic Lincoln fans, who got a crash course in the taping of a television show-- this one emceed by Rhode Island native and Seinfeld, Dancing with the Stars, and Family Feud star John O’Hurley.

Though the results aren’t yet known— the show won’t air until the spring— Lincoln’s team made quite an impression on John Smith, the producer of Rhode Island PBS.

"Rhode Island PBS is honored to have had Lincoln School participate on the show... They are an incredible group of young women. Those of us in the control room thought that your team was one of the most calm, articulate, and commanding teams we had on the show,” said Smith. “It is not easy to be in front of the cameras and perform in the way that they did. We certainly hope to see Lincoln return again next fall."

Until then, tune into Rhode Island PBS to catch Lincoln School’s episode of High School Quiz Show: Rhode Island on April 14, 2018.

THE POWER OF PLAY

A

t Lincoln’s Lower School, we are much more interested in asking exploratory questions than in knowing the right answers. For children in the Oak Room through Grade 5, this exploration often happens through the important process of play during which inquiry, discovery, and creative problem-solving happen organically. Too often people separate the act of play from the concept of academic learning, but we know this is a false notion.

In truth, play involves a complicated system of observation, discovery, and testing hypotheses from which a child learns to seek knowledge. Boys and girls learn hands-on how to solve problems and face challenges, thus building confidence and resilience. Play’s lessons extend across all domains of development. Cognitively, children practice language, problem solving, creativity, and selfregulation. In the social-emotional realm, they build interpersonal skills like negotiating and compromising, as well as practice strategies to cope with their feelings. As they run and jump, draw and build, children form and hone their fine and gross motor skills. And our lessons do not start and end inside the bricks and mortar of our Lower School. As a Quaker institution, stewardship of the earth is part of our ethos and using nature as a classroom is as integral to sparking the imagination and understanding the

world around us as mathematics. From harvesting carrots with Ms. Calenda in the edible garden to writing poetry in the Outdoor Classroom, from orienteering in Blackstone Park to examining salt marshes on the Bay, we are playing and learning in nature.

Every day in Lower School, children experience and enjoy play in many forms, all with the underlying understanding that not only is play important in its own right, it is also the foundation of future academic success. “The Power of Play,” a research summary by the Minnesota Children’s Museum, found that the lessons learned through play lead to increased reading comprehension, higher levels of executive functioning, and the development of critical skills like memory, attention, overall intelligence, and morality. In science, to learn effectively, you need both a lesson to learn and a lab in which to experiment. For younger children, play is the lab in which they come to understand the world around them and come to know themselves as learners. Whether investigating trawlers on the Bay, turning an opening in the play structure into a pop-up ice cream store, or using pipe cleaners to construct a fantastic flying machine, the spontaneous spirit, creative energy, and fabulous inquisitiveness of our Lower School students are an inspiration to all of us in the Lincoln community.

DISTILL MY HEART: Lincoln Essentials

There is no one answer to the question, “Why Lincoln?” But that didn’t stop us from trying to

answer it. Taking our Quaker principle of

self-reflection seriously, we took a long look at

what concepts and practices fuel the heart of this school, grouping and refining them into

themes that resonate. The result: five key concepts that help give prospective students

and families insight into what Lincoln today is

all about.

GIRLS FIRST

At Lincoln, we are strong because of our all-girls status, not in spite of it. Because girls’ education and well-being is at the heart of all we do, students learn that speaking their minds is more valuable than playing it safe. They are taught to be confident, critical thinkers who carve out their place in a community built on trust and mutual respect. When girls are more focused on what they think than on how they look, there is nothing they can’t accomplish.

14

ACADEMIC PoWERHoUSE

Bold minds begin at Lincoln. We embrace innovation, breaking new ground to provide a rigorous and vibrant learning environment that emphasizes intellectual challenge. The members of our exceptional faculty, most with advanced degrees, teach small classes that yield big results, like a 100% graduation rate to the top colleges in the country. And just as important, our school creates a foundation that prepares our students for futures full of meaning and success.

LINCoLN LEADS THE WAy

Dynamic and forwardthinking, Lincoln pushes the boundaries of education, providing outstanding opportunities that girls simply cannot get anywhere else. Our partnerships with Brown, RISD, and Save the Bay mean that our classrooms are not confined to campus. On the turf, we are state champions. Starting with our youngest girls, coding is built into the curriculum’s DNA. In state-of-the-art labs, we engineer possibility. Simply put, Lincoln is a school where leaders are made.

WHERE TRADITIoN MEETS INNoVATIoN

At Lincoln, we’ve been at the forefront of all-girls education since 1884. Our Quaker values of peace and equity, commitment to social justice, and connected alumnae network, mean our community is rooted in tradition while preparing for the possibilities of tomorrow. We relish our history, and encourage our girls to take risks and push limits to prepare for our ever-changing world.

GLoBAL CITIzENS

Lincoln girls learn what it means to be a responsible global citizen in an interconnected world. With a focus on ethics and empathy, through Global Programs to India and Cuba, independent study or semesters abroad, our students know how to be comfortable with the uncomfortable by taking chances and learning without limit. Trailblazers and big thinkers, Lincoln girls explore their world in order to discover themselves.


“...We need strong voices like yours more than ever right now to contribute to the national conversation. You know you’re smart. You know you’re capable. If you have a passion for this, go after it and don’t stop.”

Rebecca Ballhaus, Wall Street Journal White House Reporter

he’s flown on Air Force one. She has a reserved seat in the most important press room in the world. And most recently, Rebecca Ballhaus, a Wall Street Journal reporter covering the White House and money in politics, stopped into Lincoln School to speak to a rapt crowd of Middle and Upper School students about her rise to one of the most prized positions in journalism. Ballhaus’s reporting career started in middle school and hasn’t showed signs of slowing since. As a Grade 7 student at Berkeley Carroll, she and a friend founded a student paper called Mind in the Middle.

“My friend and I wanted our Middle School to have a voice, for other kids to be able to learn about what was happening, and to raise questions,” said Ballhaus. “And once I started, I was hooked.”

From there, she rose up the ranks at her high school paper, The Blotter, and upon enrolling at Brown University, she naturally gravitated to The Brown Daily Herald, a student-run independent paper. She was impressed with the staff of contributors who stayed up until all hours to put the paper to bed, fueled by coffee and ambition. Soon she was at the center of the group, and climbed once again to the top of the editorial ladder. In the summers between school years, she scored an internship as a style reporter at The Huffington Post, but as fate would have it, she sat next to a coworker who covered the political beat.

“From that summer, overhearing everything my coworker was working on, I knew I wanted to cover politics, and I applied for an internship at The Wall Street Journal. I got a congressional press badge. I reported on real-world issues like happenings on Capitol Hill and an immigration bill. I dug right in,” said Ballhaus.

And she hasn’t stopped. After two years in a full-time position with the WSJ working on campaign finance during the 2016 election cycle, she was assigned the White House beat in February of 2017. Ballhaus wakes up at dawn to read the president’s tweets, has a direct line to the press secretary, and has had a front row seat for some of the most memorable political moments of recent times.

It’s a difficult assignment, made perhaps even more so due to the current journalistic climate. Amidst a societal atmosphere of fake news, the ambiguity of unverified online news sources, and social media’s new place in politics, Ballhaus has further learned the importance of the objective truth.

“There’s a maelstrom of confusion about what’s fake and what’s real in news. Which is why at the WSJ we try very hard to make sure what we put in our articles are things that have actually happened—not opinion, not perspective, but truth,” said Ballhaus. “It’s always hard to not have your own opinions, but it’s not hard to keep them out of your writing.” one truth Ballhaus has personally encountered throughout her career is that being a young woman in a traditionally male-dominated arena is not without its challenges.

“Being a reporter is all about having connections, and there are definitely things that can affect you as a young female—it’s not as easy to build a platonic rapport with sources; it’s harder sometimes to be taken seriously by the old guard,” said Ballhaus to a room of Lincoln girls. “But don’t let that dissuade you. We need strong voices like yours more than ever right now to contribute to the national conversation. you know you’re smart. you know you’re capable. If you have a passion for this, go after it and don’t stop.”

AND THE ALUMNAE AWARD GOES TO...

Each fall, we pause to recognize the incredible and inspiring work of our alumnae with three Alumnae Awards, all presented at the Alumnae Luncheon during Alumnae & Reunion Weekend.

“Alumnae stewards are in every hall and every corner of this school, but we are also woven into the fabric of Rhode Island and beyond into the world. We’re everywhere. We are doing everything... And we’re all cut from the same plaid cloth. I keep hearing this, and it’s true for me, too: Lincoln made me who I am.”

Gaia Cornwall ’97 2017 Young Alumna Award

Recognizes an alumna who, through her college experiences and/or post-college employment and/or volunteer efforts, has demonstrated leadership, initiative, and service in an exceptional way. This alumna personifies Lincoln's mission of confidence, achievement, success, and a lifelong love of learning. “All the tools I needed to pursue my career and that I use in my daily life were shaped at Lincoln. I learned to push my boundaries here and rethink my limits... I became a feminist here. This school taught me exactly what that meant and how to live it. What an opportunity it was for all of us to go here as young women, and for all of us to be connected to each other and to this place. I sign my books “be kind and brave,” both things I learned right here at Lincoln.” –Gaia Cornwall ’97

Heather Hahn Fowler ’87 2017 Alumnae Citation Award

Given to an alumna in recognition of continuous support and significant service to Lincoln School. It honors the alumna who has accepted responsibility in a variety of ways, demonstrated a loyalty to the School and a desire to perpetuate its commitment to excellence in all areas of education for young women.

“As a student at Lincoln, a lifelong love of learning was instilled in me. Upon reflection, I realized that I’ve been learning from Lincoln and its alums for most of my life… I learn from Lincoln, from my fellow first-grade parents, from the amazing faculty and staff here, from fellow board members, and the wonderful friends I’ve made during my time here. And I’m also grateful to be involved with Lincoln at this particular point in time. It’s an awesome, inspiring, and very compelling place to be.”

–Heather Hahn Fowler ’87

Lee McEnany Caraher ’82 2017 Distinguished Service Award

Recognizes an alumna whose life and accomplishments exemplify that inner light which the School has traditionally sought to foster. It honors an alumna whose contributions to the quality of life around her have made the world a finer, better place. “Driving down Butler Avenue I was so excited to see what Lincoln girls have always lived reflected on banners on the street—they say: the future is female; bold minds; fearless leaders. That’s what Lincoln students have always been and done, and I do think it’s Quaker to be bold, to be confident, to say something out loud that’s worth saying ... It’s important. We need more women voices in the world.”

One of the best books I've read in a really long time—it was just so honest and vulnerable. Really hard to read at times, but so so important.

Who was your favorite teacher at Lincoln? Mary "Ustaza" Briden!

What's the most enduring lesson you learned at Lincoln? I have a powerful voice that deserves to be heard—and so I should make it heard. I've taken that lesson to the classroom, to every job I've had since graduating college, and to my personal life. At the end of the day, we are our own biggest advocates and our presence at each table is crucial and should be fought for. If there was a movie about your life, what would it be called and who would star as you? "Always Moving," or "Nomad," Ilana Glazer from Broad City

It could be a somewhat accurate title: about a woman who is continually traveling to discover what she defines as 'home.' I love her and think we share similar features (ie. big curly hair) so that would be super fun.

Where did you go to college? Providence College

Where do you live now? Washington, DC

What type of work are you doing? I’m an attorney at the Securities and Exchange Commission. I supervise a team of lawyers and accountants tasked with reviewing corporate filings to ensure investors have the information they need to make informed decisions about their investments. I’ve been at the SEC for almost 20 years. I enjoy the work, believe in the mission and love that my work provides a public benefit but it sounds funny to think of it as my life’s work. I think it’s because one of the benefits of working for the government is the work-life balance. The industry is challenging. I work hard and sometimes work late but I have a lot of flexibility and am able to enjoy my leisure time. I enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, going to concerts and sporting events and my fiancé and I recently started playing tennis.

What's the best book you've read lately? I love short stories. I read so much at work that I like having something that I can easily pick up and put down without having to worry about forgetting where I am in a story. I’m currently reading “My Story Continues: from Neighborhood to Junior High School” by Ed Iannuccilli. It’s his third book consisting of a

What type of work are you doing? At 102 years old, my life’s work has been raising my family—I have 74 blood descendants and I am proud of all of them. I also worked in a bookshop for 23 years.

What's the most enduring lesson you learned at Lincoln? To be honest and strong in your values. I feel very blessed and thank Lincoln School for its part in my life.

SUzANNE HAYES ’87 WASHINGTON, DC

collection of essays about growing up in the 1940’s and 50’s. The author is a family friend who I’ve known most of my life. He’s a contemporary of my parents, so I enjoy reading the stories of his youth and thinking about my parents and any similarities/differences in their upbringings.

Who was your favorite teacher at Lincoln? Luther Spoehr. My senior year, I took his class, America Since 1945. I remember he supplemented the course materials with some pop culture and drew parallels to current events. The result was a fun, engaging class that I looked forward to.

What's the most enduring lesson you learned at Lincoln? Lincoln taught me the value of an environment where people respect each other’s opinions. Most of my Lincoln classes consisted of a small number of students and we were encouraged to discuss issues, share our findings and/or ideas. I’m not sure if I realized at the time how my classmates’ experiences, ideas, and opinions may have helped me understand a different perspective, anticipate a counterargument or strengthen my position. But now I realize the benefits of a collaborative work environment; the importance of considering multiple potential alternatives to a problem; and how staff participation in a process can result in a smoother transition when there might otherwise be a reluctance to accept change.

I attribute my Lincoln experience to my willingness to share ideas and suggestions in college, graduate school and in the workplace. Lincoln encouraged us to “lean in” long before the phrase became popular. My current staff consists of 25 professionals with a wide range of experiences. Often staff members with relatively fewer years of directly applicable work experience have other valuable experiences and contribute helpful ideas and suggestions. I’ve tried to create an environment where my staff members feel respected and are willing to participate in discussions.

If there was a movie about your life, what would it be called and who would star as you? It’s not very original but I’d use the title “Suzanne in Real Life.” I love the movie “Dan in Real Life,” which centers on a widower and his three young daughters visiting his family at his parents’ home in Jamestown, RI. My story doesn’t involve the tragic background that Dan is struggling with but there are some great family scenes which remind me of my visits home to spend time with my family.

I hope Tina Fey would be willing to play me. There is no physical resemblance but she’s clever and so funny.

CLASSNOTES

PATRICIA SLATER CAREY ’41

From left to right: Patricia Slater Carey '41, Connie Worthington '62, Betsy Carey Laughton '75, Naydine Gergora Rock '75

Patricia “Patty” Slater Carey ’41 passed away on September 19, 2017, three days before her 94th birthday, at her home in East Orleans, MA. She will be profoundly missed by all who love and cherish her, but will remain a beautiful inspiration.

After graduating from Lincoln in 1941, Patty received her bachelor’s degree in education from Wheelock College. She married her husband and childhood sweetheart, the late Harry Hill Carey, at the beginning of her senior year there, and the couple–always the most elegant and graceful dancers on the floor–were together for 53 years.

Patty’s education and her love of children led to her co-founding the Community Preschool in Sudbury, Massachusetts with her dear friend, Barbara Barrett. She was also an active volunteer at the Congregational Church in Sudbury, and at the Church of the Holy Spirit and other non-profits in Orleans, including Snow Library.

In addition to her professional life and the volunteer work that she did in her community, Patty remained passionately involved with Lincoln throughout her lifetime, both as an alumna and a parent. Her sisters–Carolyn Slater Jackson ’42 and Virginia Slater Carnwright ’45–both attended the school, as did her daughter, Betsy Carey Laughton ’75. In reflecting on their legacy at the school, Betsy notes, “My mother was so thrilled when I was to follow in her footsteps at Lincoln because she so cherished her years spent on Butler Avenue. I feel honored to have been able to go to a place that meant so much to her.”

Patty served as the president of the school’s Alumnae Board, and in 1999, she and her classmate, Shirley Traver Allen ’41, received the Alumnae Citation Award, which honors alumnae who have accepted responsibility in a variety of ways, demonstrated a loyalty to Lincoln School, and have shown a desire to perpetuate its commitment to excellence in all areas of education for young women. Patty had a natural ability to tell a good story with wit and wisdom. Drawing from an accumulation of life’s experiences, she authored and self-published two books: Choices, a history of her life and family, and Footprints in the Sand, a collection of her poems. She had a passion for music, dancing, yachting, and the sea, serving as captain, navigator and helmswoman to many points on the compass. She also loved to swim, and continued well into her eighties, regularly swimming the length of Crystal Lake in Orleans, MA.

24

While all of her passions brought her great joy, Patty’s greatest love was her family. The presence of any member of her family brought a smile to her face and a brightness to the room. She lived a blessed and rich life, blessing and enriching those lucky enough to have known her.

The common thread from all I spoke with was, we don't have a lot of "news" as such, but are happy without big news, and content and grateful with our lives. And we are eager and fascinated with the news and progress of our families–children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Each member, old and young, is precious to us, and each life spins out of individual accomplishments and trials. Through each of them, we "old Lincoln grads" struggle to keep up in this laser-like world in which we live.

Nina Prescott Godwin and her retired doctor husband, Harold, remain in their home of many years in Fayetteville, North Carolina. They are blessed to have nearly all of their children and "grands" and "great-grands" living very close to their home, so the interaction is easy and often. They are in reasonably good health and thank their many years of exercising regularly. Nina still writes articles for the local newspaper.

Kathy Harrington Pillsbury has moved from house to condo in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She has a daughter and son-in-law in Wrentham, Massachusetts, so she sees them quite often. Another child and family living in D.C. will be retiring to Rhode Island, so "near" family will be increasing, and she is looking forward to that. Kathy is still working on her book of the history of Duxbury. Janet Malone Bliss and her husband still live in Rumford, Rhode Island, and spend their summers at their place in Matunuck,

Rhode Island. They are very happy with the arrival of their new great-grandson. Janet keeps in touch with Nancy McDowell Baldwin, who is in a nursing home in Providence.

Mary young Jacobs has been living in Barrington, Rhode Island since she moved there from her home in the Midwest several years ago to care for her mother. She is currently coping with post-polio relapse, which has left her using a walker or a cane. She feels if she had not been a very active person all her life, she would be more handicapped now than she is. She is still adjusting to the terrible loss of her older twin sisters last winter. She sounded very upbeat on the phone, and that was very pleasant to hear.

News from my faithful classmates: Ann Bainton Hall is well. She will be giving up hosting 40 for Christmas; her grandson and his wife will take over the family feast. There are certain benefits to being older! Jane Williams Marsello is well, plays bridge several times a week, and sees Judy Macalister Gibson fairly often. I talked with Carol Waterman Sigg. She is also well, though not traveling anymore because of Hans Peter's poor health. By the way, that was Carol's picture on the cover of the last issue of The Lincoln Magazine, working on a project in Miss Fowler's fifth grade. Last fall I had lunch with Jane and Ann in Providence ... a get-together we have been talking about for a long time and finally it happened. So nice to see each other again, and lots of good reminiscing. I spent a week with my grandson, who will soon be four, last summer in New Hampshire and am looking forward to my annual Christmas trip to Mexico to celebrate with my daughter. Best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy new year.

I (Lydia Edes Jewell) am still hanging out in San Pedro, California in spite of my East Coast daughters' urgings to move back there to be closer to them. I am not yet ready to give up my good life here, and have promised I will make the call when it becomes necessary. This has been a quiet year for me. No travels until going east next month for Christmas with my daughters in Newport, Rhode Island, and Wilmington, Delaware. Traveling is not a whole lot of fun any more, but will do this, and another trip to the Seattle area after Christmas to visit my son's family. After retiring from the military, he has become a commercial airline pilot, so visits with him on those holidays are out. He will be working steadily during that time. I’ve included a photo taken last month offshore from San Pedro, while driving the 100-foot Tall Ship brigantine “Irving Johnson" back into port in San Pedro.

Alumnae Luncheon at school: Along with an opportunity to chat, we had an update on curriculum, innovations like STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Architecture, and Math), collaborations (Brown University, etc.), and independent study proposals. It is a new place, always ahead of the curve.

Sally says, “I was totally stunned at the new additions that I saw: lunchroom cafeteria, lounge area, workout equipment on the stage in our old gym. I would like to return to see the rest of the new areas.”

Mary says, “The Math Department offers a course for seniors called Women in the Global Economy. Oh, would that have been a help! One of the banners posted on Butler Avenue reads, ‘Like a Girl.’ I’ll say! We were fortunate to have had our years at Lincoln and would love it today.”

Audrey says, “I am grateful that you encouraged me to go to the Alumnae Luncheon. As I was just recuperating from hip surgery, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go to school sporting a cane! The visit opened my eyes to the impressive modernization of the academic program offerings, and the airy and bright physical plant. The new head of school, Suzanne Fogarty, is young and in tune with the students’ changing world. I am proud of today’s Lincoln. I only wish more of our class could have joined us.”

All in all, we are impressed with Lincoln’s “Always Ahead of the Curve Thinking” and think you would be, too, if you could come back for a visit. Let’s keep in touch via our Class Scribe.

I have spoken recently on the phone to Beth James Alphen, who lives in Jacksonville, Florida with her husband, Clint. She sounded great, surprised to hear from me, and was more than ready to share memories of our years as friends and Lincoln classmates. As you all may recall, our classmate, Elaine Morrisse James, married Beth’s older brother, Norman, a handsome, blond, older guy who had eyes only for Elaine in spite of the fact that many

of us lusted after Norm. Beth has two daughters, one of whom lives in Darien, Connecticut with her husband. This daughter stays more than busy with her interesting position at CNN, and often travels to various spots in the world. Her two daughters— Beth’s and Clint's granddaughters—are both top-notch athletes, one a freshman at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. There she has become a member of the crew team. Her younger daughter in high school is also an excellent athlete and is on the water polo team. Beth’s son and his family are now living in Virginia, and are concerned about the local schools, so feel they must attend a private school. It was great fun to have been brought up-to-date on Beth and family.


Jane Gifford Barrows: My days and nights are still consumed with advocacy for LYME and other tick-borne diseases patients. For several months, a colleague and I have been doing local library presentations...a 45-minute PowerPoint called "LYME 101" (lots of Q&A). On October 31, several of my group participated in a "Tick or Treat" Rally at the State House. We wore 'tick appropriate' costumes with pertinent signs, such as: a dog saying, "I can get vaccinated, but you can't;” a mouse saying, "I too carry the ticks that make you sick;” a genie saying, "One Wish, a Cure"...and many more! Treat bags contained: tick-removal kits, bracelets, ribbons, Myths & Facts and online references, etc. We proudly received a "Certificate of Recognition" from the Governor! This past weekend, I was at the ILADS (International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society) Annual Conference in Boston...the big leagues. I'm hoping to soon set up a hotline! Since I survived this devastating disease, this is my reason to be. I am still struggling to get the Providence Journal and TV media to publicize the 15year-old RI Laws governing the testing and treating requirements; I won't give up! Anyone reading this who is suffering or has questions, please contact me at lymenewport@gmail.com."

I had a nice and lengthy conversation with Diana Bidden Carl recently. She has lived on property which she purchased several years ago with her since deceased husband. It is a wonderful 40 acres of meadowland in North Carolina, with land along the water and views of the mountains as a backdrop. On the property are two houses and a barn—one house in which her mother lived for several years and the other which has become a B&B run by Diana. She sounds like the perfect hostess, as she is excited to have guests with whom to chat and for whom to cook up delicious meals. From all I know, Diana is a most happy gardener, as well as a floral arranger for colorful displays in her B&B. Luckily, she has two sons living nearby, the younger one being a wonderful helper for her. Diana has two daughters as well. In all, she has two grandsons, two granddaughters, and also two who are surrogate grandsons. Diana seems to have lots of energy and is in good health. So great to chat and to hear all her news.

Janet Laing Hetterly is an inveterate traveler, with an energy and enthusiasm which is truly amazing. In February, she'll be flying with Road Scholar to South America for a two-week tour in Argentina and Chile. She particularly chooses and likes Road Scholar due to the fact that its tours are both educational and interesting. She feels that one really learns something. In Chile, she will visit the Andes, Iguazu Falls, a tango show, and much more. I hope she'll send in photos from her trip for our next Class Notes.

Joy Totah Hilden: The big event I have to report is that I was in a terrible head-on car collision about two months ago. I was a passenger, being driven home from a meeting.

We live on a steep hill. The driver, 94 years old, lost control of the car and later died in hospital. I was most fortunate to survive with no visible injuries. My daughters took some time off work to come up and help. I am recovering well, and have begun to resume water exercise, etc. I’m dealing mostly with the pain of whiplash now. How quickly life can change! And how precious life is! Other aspects of my life are going well, and my children and grandchildren are doing well. Only my husband is not doing well, struggling with Alzheimer's. It’s heartbreaking.

With best wishes to you all. I hope you enjoy the upcoming holidays.

After speaking to Beth James Alphen, I phoned Elaine Morrisse James, as Beth had given me her current phone number. You all know that in September 2016, Elaine was operated on for a brain tumor at Massachusetts General Hospital. The prior time I had called, Elaine had been feeling tired, but in good spirits and free of pain. When I called her recently, she was feeling better, still free of pain and far less tired and raring to go. What she really hopes is that soon she will be given the go-ahead to drive once again. Obviously, her spirits are high, and she is moving onward and upward. So happy that I spoke to her.

Betsy Streit Mulligan: Not too much news from here. We have been taking dear friends to MD Anderson Hospital on a regular basis for chemotherapy, and the latest tests have been very positive that all is going well. Attending too many funerals (guess that has something to do with our age!), but Marvin and I are keeping up with our yoga classes and golf, and trying to stay healthy and involved in our community. Our children and grandchildren are happy and well, and we have been blessed! We celebrate our 58th wedding anniversary at the end of November. Life is good!

I’ve included some photos from the hurricane. Our car was totaled. The street was not driveable for about a week. We were lucky, as only one house on our street was badly flooded. Some of our friends in nearby neighborhoods lost both their cars, and their houses and furniture. Several are still renting apartments and starting over again.

Dorothy Bird Price: Last summer, I was elected to a three-year term as a member of Plymouth Town Meeting, something I had done about ten years ago. It's good for the brain, and helps keep you up-to-date on town governmental issues. Right now, a particularly timely focus is 2020, the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. In September, Leighton and I joined 15 friends for a bicycle and barge trip in and around Paris. While on the small barge, we entered Paris via an underground canal (over two kilometers long) built by Napoleon to supply the Bastille. It was a fantastic experience, and not at all claustrophobic because of fairly frequent skylights. Another day, we bicycled across Paris, beginning at morning rush hour. I might have wondered how it would go with varied types of bike lanes, construction, police barricades, etc., but we just went ahead and did it, and it was really a lot of fun. It took hours, a big city! Our trip was mostly on and near the Seine and Oise rivers, where it was easy to see Impressionist inspiration.

Jana Bowerman Sample alerted me to the review of Jane Kramer Crapanzano’s latest book, The Reporter’s Kitchen: Essays. The review was in The New York Times (Sunday, 11/26/17).

You may remember that Jane was honored by Lincoln at the time of our 60th Reunion in 2015.

Jana Bowerman Sample: [After seeing the class photo sent by Carol Johanson Lundin…] Alas, I do not recall that event, but see myself in the back row next to Paula young Andrew. Still miss her, as we walked each summer morning for over 20 years. We are now residents in Arizona, and return to Illinois for the summer months. Fifty years ago, I said I definitely would not be playing bridge and golfing in my old age. I now play duplicate bridge three times a week and golf two. For the brain, I also belong to two book clubs and go to the Northern Trust Literary Society once a month. So go big pronouncements.

Playing lots of bridge...party and duplicate, and stay busy. Mount Vernon is very cultural...and historic downtown restored. Never a dull moment. I enjoy my Shakespeare Study Club. Been a member 20 years. Club is over 100 years old, in MV. I am now oldest member in both age and tenure. Darwin and I enjoy excellent health thankfully. Regards to all.

Betsy Horton Ingraham reported on a trip to see some of our western National Parks. "Last fall, a friend asked me if I would like to travel to see Banff, Lake Louise, Glacier, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons with her. I explained that I had already been to those parks, so probably no, thank you. As I re-

flected on that trip, I realized I turned 14 on our family trip out West!! Soooo...yes, I would love to go again. Interesting enough, at 14 I was quite miserable, wishing I was at camp rather than cooped up in the car for weeks. Though I had been miserable, I instantly knew I had really appreciated that first trip, as what I saw again had been cemented away somewhere in my head. We are truly blessed; our National Parks are treasures."

Jane Arcaro Scola: It is with great sadness that I am reporting the news of the death of my dear husband of 45 years on September 18, 2017. Bernard had been ill for a long time and passed away peacefully at the Philip Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence. Fortunately, our son, Jamie, his wife, Jessica, and my granddaughter, Addy, were able to travel from Seattle to be here with him. Later in September, I travelled to Seattle and spent some time with the family there.

Patricia Henshaw Stewart: Charlie died quite unexpectedly on November 11, 2016. He had Parkinson’s for 10 years, and was outside doing chores the day before entering the hospital for what we thought would be a routine hydration. Turns out he had aspiration pneumonia (a common complication for PD) and died less than a week later peacefully, at home, with all of us with him.

This first year has been tough, but I am very fortunate to live in a wonderful community and have a great network of friends. Spent six weeks in Naples and Vero Beach last winter, and am taking a fabulous trip with three friends to Scandinavia, and cruising the Baltic Sea to St.Petersburg in June.

Tracey is still coaching diving. She is coaching the Harvard men and women this season (Harvard coach had to take a leave). Lisa is working on a new animated movie with Lin-Manuel Miranda. Needless to say, the theme is offbeat, like Hamilton. My bucket list includes meeting him!!!

Karen Eddy Wilkerson: I have downsized into a condo in North Palm Beach and enjoy the simplicity of not having to maintain a house any more. Miss all the space, but love my new location right on the intercoastal waterway.

Presently, I am President of the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County. We are the third largest League in the United States, and very active at the national, state, county, and municipal levels. It is wonderful what can be accomplished when socially responsible people bond together for the good of the area. Right now we are very involved in upgrading and expanding the teaching of civic education to both adults and within the public school system, providing housing for service workers and elderly, protecting public schools from invasion of charter schools that require public funding but do not always meet quality standards, protecting the health care of all people, protecting Florida's fragile environment, and ensuring that government abides by the

Life is good. Friends and activities keep me very busy, and despite a damaged knee and shoulder, I am in good health and able to keep busy with things that keep my mind busy and give me the opportunity to give back to society for the advantages I have had in my life. I thank Lincoln for providing me with this sense of obligation and dedication.

We heard from Vicki Bachman Williams telling us that, "Although our long-lived women's book group disbanded this past year, I am still participating in a Classics book group. At present, we are reading and acting out some of George Bernard Shaw's plays. We first did Mrs. Warren's Profession, amazingly relevant today considering it was written in 1893 and first published in 1905 (the year my mother was born). When it was performed that year in New York, the play was forced to close after one performance, and its cast arrested for violating the city obscenity laws. Our current selection is Man and Superman.”

Last summer, Susan Kenny and Vicki Bachman Williams spent a few days at the home of friends on Nantucket. While there, they visited the wonderful Andrea Doria exhibition at the Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum, accompanied by Miss McGrath!

Nancy Boghossian Keeler: I have had a quiet year, mostly staying close to home where I was watching over some upgrades to my Cambridge condo. However, I do make regular short visits to family in New Jersey, Maine, Cape Cod, and, of course, Rhode Island. I am still volunteering two days a week at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. I’m lucky to see Sue young Murray very often. I’m also in touch with Sue Gavitt Ginsky, and sometimes, though not often enough, with Betty Grossman and Irma Feinberg Megiddo. Would love to see any

My grandchildren are growing up. My grandson, Keeler Patton, is a sophomore at the University of Michigan, where he is very happy. Granddaughter, Daphne, is a senior in high school, and is busy with school, soccer, and all the craziness of the college application season. I’m sending a photo showing them this summer with their beloved dog, Hagrid, who has just left this world after a good life. He lived 8 1/2 years, pretty long for a Bernese.

Kate Lee: Having just biked and hiked Utah's Arches and Canyonlands, I'm now headed to Italy where I haven't been since I was 14. It'll be interesting to see it as an adult! Both granddaughters are stars, the older one, Lina, now writing her Master’s thesis in psychology at the University of Gothenburg, and the younger one, Stella, just starting the IB program at Gothenburg. Here in Gainesville, we survived hurricane season with some real flooding problems, but nothing as harsh as South Florida's damage.

News from Suzanne young Murray and Terry Murray: Our grandkids are very busy: Katie Coggins ’16, a Lincoln graduate, is a sophomore at Skidmore College and loving it. Maggie McNamara ’13, a Lincoln graduate, has graduated from Harvard and is working in Philadelphia. Her brother, Joe, is a sophomore at Brown University. Jamie Murray is a junior at the University of Michigan; her brother, Sam, is a freshman at Harvard; and their sister, Sadie, is a junior at Milton Academy. And Megan Murray Craigen ’93, also a Lincoln graduate, has Samantha (6), Charlie (5), and little Lily (3), all of whom are learning and loving their school experiences so far. So that's our story. It is great fun.

In July, Marjorie Buonanno Boss celebrated the summer with the Lincoln School community at a cocktail party in Narragansett hosted by Ellie Mahoney Loughlin ’85 and her daughter, Martha Boss Bennett ’85.

So nice to hear from a number of classmates this time! In October, Bob and I were just back from London, having spent a few days there before getting on the new Silversea Muse to cruise up the west coast of Ireland and across the Atlantic to St. John, St. Pierre & Miquelon, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, Saguenay, Quebec, and Montreal, where we also stayed for a few days. My grandchildren are healthy and happy, as are all my children. What more can one ask?

As usual, Randa Bishop spent the summer in Patmos, Greece. “Always a beautiful place. We had some nice weather and got out on our boat quite a few times; my stepson came with his wife and two children, Zoe (12) and Teddy (10), and spent two weeks visiting the island, which was lots of fun. I contributed four photographs to a group exhibition called Photosphere, which was open for ten days in Patmos during the height of the summer. I am also in the ‘slow’ process of working on a book representing some 40 gravures of Patmos Island that Michail and I have collected over many years. Hopefully the book will be ready for print by early next summer, but everything has to be sent out for scanning, so it is a long process.”

Debbe Bowerman Coons wrote, “I have very sad news to share—my dear husband, Kenelm, passed away in early February— just months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Though it was a very difficult time, it was also very rewarding. He was an inspiration to us all. We had been married almost 20 years, sharing six children, their spouses, and nine grandchildren who enriched our lives—as did our shared love of sailing that took us from Narragansett Bay to the Chesapeake, where I now live.I feel blessed indeed.”

Alice Drew Turner and Mac spent a lot of time with family this summer.

Anne Elder McCormack ’61 and her husband, Hal.

She feels lucky to have kids and “grands” nearby. “I played lots of golf and spent wonderful hours on the beach, swimming almost every day. I also played in a golf tournament in Stockbridge—such a beautiful course. Always a fun time.” She was sorry to miss Suzy Dimmitt-Rosprim on her visit to Westport this summer, and hopes to see her next year. (Me, too).

Susan Lynch Ruddy wrote on the way from Vancouver to Hong Kong and Indonesia. “My summer was filled with delight! Daughter Lydia married long-time beau Tariq Khalil in a civil ceremony, as well as in what they both referred to as their ‘big, fat Pakistani wedding’ in Glasgow, where he was born. It was a wonderful affair all around with Lydia’s family and friends from all over, and Tariq’s large and welcoming family, who mostly live in that unexpectedly charming city.”

Ruthie Phillips Gulick writes that she, Nancy Fales, and Salee Jackson Lawrence “met at the Mt. Washington Hotel, along with three adorable stud muffins, for lunch on the veranda. Alas, nobody could think of anything to talk about.” Salee demurs, saying, ”Lots of giggles, jokes and good food.”

Salee is busy with family and art. She enjoys grandson William (6), Fred’s son, and Tom’s girlfriend’s daughter, 4, noting, “Fifty years ago that would be the age of our great-grandchildren.” She adds, “Not as much traveling, but we're heading again to Florida for the winter months. Maria was kind to our sailboat and winter rental.”

I received a note from Sue Spooner Jesseman in August. She was very disappointed that I had not mentioned the death of her husband, Stephen, on December 10, 2016 in the last issue of The Lincoln Magazine. She evidently emailed me in February, but I do not think I received it. At any rate, Sue and Stephen were married for 41 good years. He had suffered from kidney failure and heart failure for a time, but his death was still an unexpected shock for Sue and certainly dampened her Christmastime. She says things are getting better and wished everyone well. I know you all join me in wishing her the same.

We begin our class news with a beautiful note from Karen Anderson Chalfen about deceased classmate Penelope Reed Doob: “Ruth Kiven Arellana and I attended Penelope's memorial service at Camp Pemigewassett on Sunday afternoon, October 1. On a sparkling Indian Summer day by the lake, about 35 people–old friends and family–gathered in The Lodge, where we were warmed by fires in two massive stone fireplaces, one at each end of the room. For an hour or so, rich reminiscences shared by family members and close friends–touching, humorous and celebratory of her remarkable life–sweet music from a flute, and the “Ashokan Farewell” played on the violin, all delivered alongside a lovely portrait, seemed to bring her back to us. It was a perfect memorial to our remarkable classmate.” Karen also sent me a touching remembrance of Penelope entitled “My Brilliant Friend,” which is featured on page 36.

Ruthie Kiven Arellana sent a short note reporting that she is alive and well in Riverside, but she misses Penelope, and has had a tough autumn. She lost a dear friend from church who died from a fall because she was not found for three days; then Penelope, so talented and giving; then her cousin, who succumbed to cancer. Ruth is also saddened by the carnage in our country and the world, and the failure of our country and others to provide refuge to the people fleeing war and persecution.

Jenni Goff Blumenthal writes that she and Ralph have been staying healthy enough all year to continue not only all of their local volunteer work, but also considerable travel. In June, they went on a fascinating National Geographic exploration of the Upper Amazon, followed by a two-week land trip from Lima to Nazca, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca. She adds that the Cusco visit was "enlivened" by a teacher's strike that halted much public transportation with blocked roads for a few days. More travel back in the US: they went to the Finger Lakes,

and then to the Adirondacks, to the Waldheim. On their way home, they drove up to the Vermont/ Canadian border to collect their granddaughter, Linnaea (now 11), and daughter, Lexi, as they finished the 273mile through-hike of the Long Trail from Massachusetts, along the Green Mountains to Canada. Quite a feat!

They did also go to St. John in the US Virgin Islands last February, but now she reports, “All trips there are now cancelled due to the devastation of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. With little electricity and water, clean up and rebuilding is slow—same as in St. Thomas and Puerto Rico—send money!” Martha Curit Hough writes, “We are just back from a marvelous and so very interesting Danube cruise from Vienna to Nuremberg, and then on to Prague. This followed a wonderful late summer extended six-week road trip north…a true ‘Family and Friends Mooch March’ that brought us to Ridgewood, New Jersey, Jamestown, Rhode Island, and Ithaca, New York to see my sister, Barbara Curit Thorp ’55; then to Kennebunk and Chebeague Island, Maine, Waterford, Maine and Deer Isle, Maine; then on to New Hampshire, including a visit to my old summer camp, Waukeela, in Eaton Center; then a visit with friends in Gilford, New Hampshire, and a special reunion with some of Walter’s Edgewood childhood friends in Hampton, New Hampshire...then back to Rhode Island!

Now in Savannah, we look forward to lots of fall golf and the holidays so quickly approaching. For the month of December, I will be exhibiting some of my paintings with another friend as we share the ‘Artist of the Month’ gallery in one of our clubhouses here at The Landings. I better get busy— lots to do before the opening!

Happy to say that I see Sharon Doherty Kersh often, and I know we both would love to see any classmates who may find themselves nearby. Savannah is a great stopping place for snowbirds!

Wishing everyone good health, happiness, and lots of good times ahead with family and friends…grateful for every day.”

Martha Kay Mann and hubby Phil are also on the move. They are remarkable, to say the least, and I quote: “We are fine.... loved our trip to Spitsbergen - circumnavigated the archipelago and then flew to Oslo to visit our friends that we met in 1957!!!!! Home since our South Dakota driving trip in September...just fabulous weather and stunning landscapes. Will be home now until a quick trip over Christmas to Opryland and Memphis. Then February will bring on Sri Lanka and Southern India...July/August is Mongolia, Lake Baikal, and southwestern China...finally The 5 Stans in October. In between the traveling, we continue with our volunteering which includes several science fairs that we always judge, Exercises for Homeland Security, and other preparedness events. Basically this is to keep us sharp on our training throughout the year. We again will say we are blessed with our health, so we are just going to ‘keep going.’ Hope this finds all of you well...will keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers.”

Jeremy and I (Jacquelyn Savoie Medina) have had a good year, but recently lost a much-beloved Hamilton College professor of 40 years who was killed riding a bicycle on a rural country road. He was hit from behind in broad daylight by a car driven by an 86-year-old woman. The entire campus has been in mourning. On a happier note, our oldest two granddaughters are attending college. Sayle is a freshman at Duke, and Hope is a freshman at Hamilton College. Both are loving it. We see Hope often at our house for Sunday night dinners when she also BTW does her laundry! She also works in my office at Hamilton as a work-study student. Jeremy and I also have been traveling, as have Jenni and Martha. Our next riverboat cruise will be in June to Bordeaux and the wine country.

I wish you all a happy winter and let us all pray for peace in our world.

Sherry Gardner Cameron and her husband, Dave, enjoyed a two-week road trip in May, visiting Zion National Park, Salt Lake City, and ending up in Yellowstone. The scenery and wildlife were incredible. In the fall, we went on a cruise up the East Coast and Canada. The ship left from New York, which gave us the opportunity to play tourist, see a couple of shows, and otherwise enjoy unseasonably warm weather there. After the cruise, we rented a car in Quebec City and

spent a couple of days in Montreal before flying home from Niagara Falls.

Nancy Hayes Golden has spent her summers caring for the plants at a nearby pet-friendly resort. Her daughter lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, and has three children. Nancy and Al spent Thanksgiving with them. Nancy's son and wife live in Fairfield, Connecticut. Al has a trailer on Pine Island in Florida where he goes every winter to fish. Nancy is not into fishing and says there isn't a lot to do there, but she will join him in March.

Nancy Hill Joroff writes that the Celtic Music Festival and the Harp Retreat that she runs have grown. She is hoping to find someone to take over for her. In the meantime, the group is soliciting harp donations for a local small school as well as trying to raise money to pay for an instructor in Colorado. Her husband, Michael, is "supposed to be retired but did manage a trip to England and South Korea this summer." Last spring they went to the Orkney Islands. When they are back East, Nancy works a couple of days a week in her daughter's bookstore.

Marilyn Fera Nereo and her husband, George, are grateful for good health, which allows them to travel frequently. This past spring they went to Rome, their favorite city, as well as Scotland. Their son and his wife bought 80 acres of land in Colorado "to live a sustainable life." Their daughter and her family live nearby in New York City. The grandkids are very involved with sports and scouting, so Marilyn and George are busy all the time. Last summer they organized a family reunion in Vermont for 38 people from Milan, Rome, California, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Then they headed west along the northern route, stopping at Lake Champlain, Ontario, Manitoba, and Driggs, Idaho, where they watched the total eclipse with friends. The photo included here was taken at the Wright Brothers Memorial at Kitty Hawk. Anne said that the Outer Banks is a beautiful area.

Here is Gerianne Fulton Ahlberg’s news. (I had lunch with Geri in November on one of my frequent visits to Chicago.):

Happy Labor Day to All!

We hope you are enjoying this three-day weekend that marks the beginning of the school year. Our youngest grandson will start kindergarten tomorrow. It has been a wonderful summer in Chicago, thanks to family, especially the grandchildren, and friends. We spend seven months here, and approximately five months in Tucson. This summer, my oldest daughter elected to work one long day per week instead of three half-days, so I volunteered to stay with her daughters to drive them around town to see friends and to their various sports (swimming, running, gymnastics). The girls are 13, 11, 9, and 7. We also spent much time with my youngest daughter’s family, feeding them dinner once a week (a labor of love), and entertaining her 7year-old daughter and 5-year-old son when daycare was closed or just to do it. Otherwise, it was a summer of golf, biking along the lake, and enjoying Chicago.

I am unable to attend the Reunion, as we have decided to drive our car to Tucson during warmer weather, rather than around January 1, when two years ago it was 25 below and our car was not a happy car. Since we have done this drive often, we have decided on a northern route–that is, Minneapolis, North Dakota, maybe Montana, and Colorado. New territory is always good.

We often fly into Boston to see another daughter who lives in Northampton, but never seem to incorporate Providence into our trip. Maybe someday, as we hear good news about Providence.

If anyone should visit either Chicago or Tucson, I would enjoy seeing you. Nancy, on one of your trips here if you should have time, please let me know? And, Linda, I hope you are doing okay in Houston.

Sad news! Steve, the husband of Carole English Twombly, passed away on July 12 at home in Holland, Michigan after a long illness.

Meanwhile, I am thrilled to see how Lincoln is thriving under the new Head of School. We were all so fortunate to have had a single-sex, quality education.

Nancy Robinson Van Tuyle: A good part of the year has been devoted to travel. With my two daughters on the East Coast and Marty in Chicago, along with travel again to Basque country and Nantucket Island, I have managed to log almost 90,000 air miles! I serve on the executive committee of the Council of the Library Foundation of Los Angeles. We have a biennial event, “Literary Feasts,” that took place in early November this year. Fifty-two authors hosted in beautiful homes throughout Los Angeles, Pasadena, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica! I had the pleasure of dining with Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting For Stone. It was a huge success, raising 1.4 million dollars which supports the L.A. Public Library and its 72 branches. The real excitement is watching my only grandchild, now 4 ½, growing in such magical ways.

Gail Logan sent me the link to an interview regarding her latest book, the third in a trilogy. Here is the link so that you may read the full interview: https://blog.iuniverse.com/author-blogs/gail-logan-theserpents-last-secret/

It would be marvelous to welcome you all to the District, to give or arrange a tour at the National Gallery, Mount Vernon, Hillwood, or any other site. We could then have lunch or dinner at the Sulgrave Club near Dupont Circle.

I still spend a lot of time in Rhode Island, and am active in the Preservation Society of Newport. I’ve included a photo taken with Tom Thaller, a good friend, at the gala dinner last July.

I just finished writing an architectural history of Christ Church in Georgetown, which will celebrate its 200th anniversary in November.

Every morning I walk the beach, great bike riding here, as it is all flat, lots of barrier islands to explore, and my favorite kayaking on the Okefenokee Swamp. Miss the family but they will come down for short stays during school holidays. Once I return in April, I leave again for a 17-day walking trip with friends on the Isle of Man.

Everyone was equally impressed with the curriculum, students, and new headmistress. On Saturday night, we gathered at school for cocktails and dinner. It was a beautiful night out on the playground, and we hugged, reminisced, and toasted our class, before moving into dinner at the place of honor. Many of us attended, including Marianna, Bonnie, Gale, Joy, Nancy Lewis, Pam Nelson Erskine, Wendy Fain Feldman, Kate, Liz Trott, Lida Stinchfield, Glenna Mathes Moalli, and Joanne Blount Dahmer.

On Sunday, everyone was invited to Gale's house in Newport for brunch, where we had a chance to really reconnect and laugh about old times, the good and the bad, over mimosas and baked ham.

Ann Leone: I'm still teaching at Smith— French, Comparative Literature, and Landscape Studies. Three grandchildren, a bunch of lovely stepchildren and stepgrandchildren. One of my sons lives on the farm where he grew up; the other does GIS mapping for Boulder. Sending fond thoughts to everyone!

Elizabeth (Brownie) Jackson: For the last 15 years, I have lived in an old captain’s house in Tiverton Four Corners raising my daughter, designing rugs, furniture and scarves, and selling Christmas greens, wreaths, and arrangements from my farm. My daughter, Barrett, married Charles Borden this past summer, and they live in Little Compton. The Lincoln circle continues, as Barrett is now working for Gale Goff Architect (Gale Jenks Goff).

Kate Tower-Ludwig: My husband, Reinhhold, and I have recently moved to West Boylston, Massachusetts, outside of Worcester, where he teaches electrical engineering at WPI. I am a retired speech-language pathologist, currently enjoying my two choruses, walking, bicycling, and keeping up with friends and family. Our son, Ted (33), works at a German company in New Hampshire as a process engineer, as well as the designated German speaker for phone calls abroad. Ingrid (31) recently married her wonderful engineer, Martin, from France, and adores their little apartment in White Plains, New York. She is also an SLP, as was his mother, and works with children with CP and also in early intervention. In the summers, we continue to spend a good deal of time on our humble little island on Lake Winnipesaukee. We are lucky to have lots of loving extended family nearby.

Marcia Hoffer: I really enjoyed catching up with everyone at brunch. I live in Barrington, Rhode Island, near where I spent my high school years with Ann Leone, Gretchen Heisler Ecclestone, and Lee Carpenter. I’m still working full-time, and my daughter and I have a horse farm in Warren.

Bonnie MacLeod Thompson: Many thanks to Gale Jenks Goff and Elizabeth Jackson for their hospitality. Also to Joy Hoffacker for being the stimulus we needed, and for being such a wonderful house guest! Bob and I have been married for 48 years. We have two sons, two amazing granddaughters (16 and 13), and a very special grandson (7). Fortunately they are all close by in Rhode Island. After Lincoln, I earned an A.S. in nursing and my R.N. license. I worked for two months in 1971, but found the 3–11 shift too upsetting to family life, so became a stay-at-home mom for 11 years. When I finally decided to put my education to use, I quickly discovered how much medicine had changed. Without current knowledge, getting a job was difficult. Once I was hired, it was like college all over again. I spent five years on a med/surg unit, then 25 years in intensive care. I also did six years per diem at a hospice inpatient center, while still working part time in ICU. Bob and I travel as much as possible, and have seen and done some incredible things! I’ve become interested in genealogy, especially trying to find my Scottish great-grandfather #4. I spoke with Amy Johnston Cutler in Philadelphia who was sorry she could not come. She sent regards to all, and would like information on Fran Cohen Bongarten. She let me know that Marg Hunt Harmon had died. We also have lost India Stevens Trinley. Deb Richardson Cotter also sent her hellos from Maine.

Randie Ferguson Black-Schaffer: I have been married since one week after Swarthmore graduation to Stephen Black-Schaffer, a pathologist at MGH, and we have four children and three grandchildren. I am a stroke physiatrist, and have worked at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital since 2000. I direct the Stroke Program there, as


well as the Spaulding Stroke Research and Recovery Institute. In addition, I am Division Chief for Stroke and Neurology in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School .

My most fun job, however, is Music Director of the fabled Spaulding Tabernacle Choir, a holiday chorus of staff and former patients that sings with the Boston Pops each year at the Spaulding Christmas Concert. You can check us out at: https://youtu.be/2cWa7i2nv1U

Glenna Mathes Moalli: I'm retired now from the hospital as a social worker, and have put my extra time into helping my 93-yearold aunt and my sister, Carla Mathes Woodward ’63. Dan is still working part-time, but we manage to spend long weekends during the winter at our home in Vermont and summers at the beach in New London. It was so nice to see so many friends at the Saturday night dinner. I'm glad I was able to make it.

Kathy Traugott: Elizabeth (Brownie) Jackson spoke to Kathy and she is happily living in an old farmhouse in Southern Vermont. Kathy and her husband have raised a couple of kids. Kathy is designing a successful linen line from her home for some large commercial accounts.

Cindy Tryon Hoogs: I have been married to Robert Hoogs for 43 years and live in Monterey, Massachusetts (the town I grew up in). We have three grown children–two daughters who live in Seattle, Washington, and a son who lives near us in New York state. We have four grandchildren. My husband is a land use planner with a civil engineering and surveying company in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and he is chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Bidwell House Museum in Monterey, Massachusetts. Both jobs keep him running all the time. Someday he may retire. When our kids were small, I was a stay-at-home mom and worked part-time as a wetlands biologist. I took a career change in my early 40’s, and started working in a law office, and found that I really enjoyed the work. I am now retired after working for 23 years as a paralegal, primarily working in real estate law. In my spare time, I am a genealogist. I love to spend my days going through the 18thcentury cemeteries, especially those on Cape Cod. With the advent of the computer and Ancestry.com, I now can do a lot of my research from the comfort of my office. I also garden, braid woolen rugs, and take walks with our golden retriever, Penny. Marianna Freeman Richardson: Bob and I are coming up on 45 years together in March. We were back and forth between Rhode Island and Santa Fe (where we met) for the first few years, but have been back in southern Rhode Island for 38 years. Brownie Jackson gets credit for our meeting, as I went to Santa Fe to visit her, and decided to stay! We are fortunate to have our kids, Aspen (42) and Jesse (37), living nearby. Bob taught high-school

English for many years, but retired in 2002, when he was diagnosed with both post-polio syndrome and Parkinson's disease. I retired in 2012 to be his full-time caregiver after 34 years counseling teens. We moved to a one-level apartment in Peace Dale four years ago. Life is full. We have made many friends in the Rhode Island Parkinson's community. We travel some—mainly to visit friends and family. We flew to San Diego in January to meet our great-grandson (son of Bob's granddaughter, who we adopted at 14)! We spend a lot of time at the beach. I’ve seen Patty DeVlieg many times over the last few decades - both visiting her in San Francisco, and when she and her husband, Mike, have come here for visits. Patty, sadly, has been dealing with major health issues for most of the past year. I really, really loved seeing so many classmates at the Reunion, and hope everyone comes to Gale Jenks Goff's next August!

Mary Ann Hatch Silverstein: So sorry to miss the 50th, but was organizing a 5k to raise money for Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes... it was a huge success, beyond my wildest dreams! The 5k is in honor of a close friend’s son.

El Paso is great...big, wide-open spaces, really friendly people, beautiful sunny days, and great Mexican food. Our family all live in Colorado; son, Will, and daughter, Hope, AND sweet grandchild, Duncan.

When in Rhode Island, I volunteered for CASA for 10 years, and in El Paso worked for Barnes and Noble as the head of the children's section...such a dream job!

Although we love the Southwest, our hearts (Roger's and mine) will always be in Rhode Island, and a large part of mine is with my beautiful classmates at Lincoln School! Love, loyalty, and lowliness! Not sure about the lowliness.

Gale Jenks Goff: Peter and I moved to Newport in ’95, after raising four kids in Providence (two of them Lincoln girls). I worked for a well-known architectural firm in Newport for 20 years, but was tired of the daily commute. Ten years ago, I opened my own firm, Gale Goff Architect, and set up my offices in Little Compton, Rhode Island. I do residential architecture in Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts, almost exclusively along the water, and my work has been featured in Design New England, Fine Homebuilding, This Old House, various regional magazines, and Houzz. It has been amazing and satisfying work, so no plans for retirement soon. A wonderful addition to the office this year was Barrett Borden, Elizabeth (Brownie) Jackson’s daughter. Peter and I enjoy visiting with our six grandchildren, as well as travels to faraway places.

Niki Buxton is living in Connecticut, and has recently retired from a career as a labor and delivery nurse. She is very involved with her church, so was unable to stay for Saturday night and Sunday brunch during Reunion Weekend.

Kim Littlefield: I am still in Kentucky training dogs and teaching folks how to train their own dogs. My partner (life and work) and I have 5-plus acres with a training building and a small kennel, and keep very busy. I am trying to scale back as 70 approaches, which is easier said than done. My oldest daughter has moved back to Kentucky with her husband and their four boys, and my youngest has been in Rhode Island for close to 10 years. I feel very blessed.

Liz Trott: Class of ’67 and others,

When I got the invitation to our 50th Reunion, I had to laugh hard and loud. So many good memories, and how could I get there? In the end, I did. I’ve kept in touch with Marianna Freeman Richardson for these great years, so she helped lots (No computer, so I’ll try to keep this neat!). Saw so many people I hadn’t even thought of both days, at school and at brunch.

I live in central Vermont, and have room for visitors, so please call if you’d like a tour. We’re rural, yet live three miles from Vermont Law School, White River, First Branch, biking and skiing (two great types). Raise Welsh Corgis like my namesake, the Queen, plus Kate, Spot, Lola, Layla and four cats, heat with wood and propane, good south facing, hot tub (that should bring some of you!), and are very reasonable cooks. Good gardens. Thanks - I had a wonderful time!

1968 | 50th reunion

Classmates who live locally have enjoyed getting together informally for lunch a couple of times a year at Luciano's in Wrentham. Five members of our class met mid-October for a lively conversation on a wide range of topics, and also enjoyed wonderful food and great service. There were several local classmates that were disappointed that they were unable to come. We all said that we would like to do another informal get-together in the spring. If you live a little further away, but would love to join our informal gatherings, please let Cathy Brown know.

We all shake our heads and say, “How can it possibly be our 50th Reunion year in 2018?” We all discussed that we hope that some classmates who have not been back to school since graduation give serious consideration to make it to school next September for our big Reunion. We also encourage even members of the class that perhaps did not graduate with our class to consider coming too. The more classmates who come, the more fun it will be for all. Let's break a record by having a huge turnout for our 50th Reunion.

Cathy Brown: In September, I traveled to Chateauneuf, France to visit Christine Grimaud Koenig. Genevieve Bos lives nearby in Nice, and was able to join us on several of our day excursions. One day, we spent the day at Genevieve's chalet in the South French Alps. Coming down from the Alps, I have never been on so many hairpin

A

FOR PENELOPE—MY BRILLIANT FRIEND A TRIBUTE TO PENELOPE REED DOOB ’60 by Karen Anderson Chalfen ’60

couple of weeks ago, my husband and I happened on to a memorial labyrinth, constructed on a sand flat in Pleasant Bay on Cape Cod. I’d been thinking of my dear friend a lot during the summer, and I connected with my memories of her as I walked the circles of a treasure, lovingly constructed by someone I’ll never know. The labyrinth, one of Penelope’s areas of expertise, seems a perfect metaphor for the decades of a friendship that began at Lincoln School, the place that brought and kept us together.

Beginning in 9th grade, when we had every class together, her gravity pulled me close. Her intelligence—so threatening to middle school conformists—began to elevate my notion of fun: Saturday mornings spent in the Brown University bookstore reading Shakespearean criticism; dressing in black and frequenting a coffeehouse near the campus to listen to poetry; travelling together on the train to New York as delegates to the Model UN, when she pretended to be Francoise de Beaujolais, a French exchange student. Her fluent French captured the attention of two delegates from Noble and Greenough, and a month or so later we attended their spring dance weekend. During college years we lost touch, but in our thirties she dazzled again, reading one of her complex poems at a Lincoln class reunion, revealing yet another talent.

Reconnecting in our forties over lunch in Providence, she was philosopher and psychologist, a supportive friend.

I remember a summer afternoon here at Pemi, sitting on a porch with Tom, Sr. talking about writing. Then in our fifties, I was still working on a first novel. Her accomplishments by that time could have made one feel like a lesser mortal, but she had a way of elevating rather than diminishing the person in her company. She stayed with me in Boston twice during our sixties, once while serving on Harvard University’s Arts Advisory Council, and the second time when she returned to accept her Distinguished Alumna Award from Lincoln School. I was thrilled to present the award, because it was SO perfectly appropriate. Later that evening, undaunted by fatigue, she laughed as we reminisced about our Lincoln years, sifting through boxes of tea dance cards and notebook covers.

36

The last time we were actually together we were in our seventies, on what I refer to as our Thelma and Louise drive from Toronto to Pemi. I enjoyed listening to her stories, laughing about escapades that revealed not just her fiery intellect but her bawdy earthiness. Just us and two remarkable cats for two days and a night on the road, one of our best times together.

From then on we had come full circle and were phone friends, talking for more than an hour at a time, with always some mention of today’s Lincoln, our pride in its growth and direction. And there were always flashes of her brilliance, allusions to literature I hadn’t read, music I didn’t know, with her way of assuming I did, of course, which almost made me believe I did. She was still teaching, and I often researched those knowledge gaps after the call. Again, she elevated, rather than diminished. With her intelligence and her accomplishments in so many fields, Penelope was always humble, embodying the last of Lincoln School’s guiding principles: love, loyalty, and lowliness.

Our school symbol was the helmet of Minerva, goddess of wisdom. Penelope was mine. She kept me close, for which I shall always be grateful.

Glad I wasn't the one driving. One day, Christine drove me by the school in Nice that she and Genevieve attended prior to coming to Lincoln as exchange students. This school, at one time, was considered Lincoln's sister school. Another day, we spent a fun day in Bordighera, Italy, which is just a little more than an hour from Nice. It is a beautiful city that sits right on the Mediterranean. There is so much to do in the South of France. It was interesting going to a flower farm that grows jasmine exclusively for Christian Dior Perfumes. I also visited an olive grove, and went to numerous museums in the area. Genevieve lives right down the street from the Chagall Museum, but hadn't been there in years, so she enjoyed going with us to that museum. After leaving France, I went on to Christchurch, England to visit another friend of mine. Christchurch sits right on the English Channel. I had fun exploring the surrounding little villages. My friend drove me north of London one day so I could meet for the first time my pen pal whom I met through the Barefoot Contessa/Ina Garten website. It was fun to meet her in person after having been pen pals for the past year. We had already discovered how uncanny it was that we had so much in common.

Another six months have passed rather quickly. I was so pleased to spend some time on Mother’s Day with Margie Barrett Holzman and her husband in Portland. We caught up before they headed down the coast to a family wedding. Driving the coast was on Margie’s bucket list, mission accomplished. I spent a bit of time in Rhode Island last summer due to my nephew’s illness and death, which is heartbreaking. Hanging out in Rhode Island with my aunt, Ibby Taft Freeman ’39, and cousins, Marianna Freeman Richardson ’67 and Liz Freeman ’63, is so much fun. I also visited my friends in Juneau in August, which was great. And it turns out that Joy Hoffacker ’67 lives in Portland on a houseboat. We reconnected over dinner on her houseboat, and that was delightful. Having been away from Providence and Lincoln all these years, it’s heartwarming to have a friend from the past. I wish all of you much health in 2018.

This was despite developing a major health issue this year (for the first time ever). Getting older is not for sissies!! I got mumps back in May, despite having had it as a kid, and the infection triggered my immune system to go haywire. I've joined Margie Barrett Holzman in having Giant Cell Arteritis, which has caused severe inflammation in my circulatory system, compromising my mobility and other functions. Treatment is long-term, but the condition is not supposed to be permanent. Just before I got sick, I released a newly re-written edition of one of my out-of-print Signet Regency romances, The Magnificent Marquess. I think it's much improved! I was working on a new Christmas /Twelfth Night story, but it has been temporarily derailed by the combination of my own illness and my husband's ill health. As I write this, he is in the hospital having just had hip replacement surgery. After 41 years of marriage we finally failed to take turns with being ill this year. 2018 will be better.

Cindy Hyatt Shorris: In June, Liz Barksdale Walker got a few of us together at the Barrington Yacht Club. It was fun to see Wendy Curtis, and MB’ers Nick Gotham, Jim Stallman, and Cal Groton!

I also got together for dinner with Lydia Chambers, Liz Barksdale Walker, and Celena Faintych last summer. Celena was visiting from Belgium. She reports that her two kids are doing well. Her daughter, Monica, works at KPMG, and her son, Timmy, works for the national cable company in the marketing department. Celena’s mother and brother also joined us for dinner. What a blast from the past!

Lydia is getting ready to pack up for her African safari! Lucky!

On a dreary, rainy afternoon, I received a delightfully sunny email regarding one of our classmates. It was a note from Audrey Sprague, mother of Kim Sprague Anderson ’80, and I'm sharing it exactly as received, as I really think it's intended for us all:

40

"Hi, Liz! Do you remember Edda Grollitsch Kropfl, who came to Lincoln for her senior year as Lincoln's first exchange student? She was from Austria, and the Sprague

Edda Grollitsch Kropfl '79 with her husband, Peter, and daughter, Nina. family hosted her for the year! I hope you do! Well, anyway, we have kept in close touch with Edda all these years!! She has been married to Peter Kropfl for 31 years— they have two children: Gerd, who just turned 30, and Nina, who turned 26 in September. Edda has been teaching in her town of Graz, where she and Peter reside— she teaches English, psychology, and philosophy!! We have been to Austria to visit her several times, and both her children came to the US for exchange programs— Gerd went to Cape Cod, and Nina went to Texas! They all have been back here many times; and Peter and Edda especially enjoy coming to our Florida home in August (we are up in Rhode Island then). They use it as a base and travel all over Florida - plus take cruises from Miami and Cape Canaveral!"

Mrs. Sprague went on to say that whenever Edda has been back to Rhode Island, she has visited Lincoln, but it's always been August when the school is closed. As Scribe, I sent Edda a message on all of our behalf (behalves?). Here's to hoping she'll join us at Reunion one day! A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Sprague for re-connecting us.

And now for some sunny news from Laura Meiselman: "I moved to San Mateo, California, a little over a year ago. My daughter, Sophia, is a sophomore at University of Southern California in LA, my sister, Paula Meiselman ’84, lives in San Rafael, and my sister, Janet Meiselman ’82, and my mother live in San Mateo. So we're all out here now! I'm enjoying my life out here–I'm doing some volunteer work for Sutter Care at Home, teaching math part-time at Russian School of Mathematics, and tutoring. I just joined the California Writers Club and look forward to finding a writing group so that I can work on writing some creative nonfiction pieces. I enjoy taking the various group fitness classes offered at Equinox, and walking along the beach in Half Moon Bay (about 20 minutes from where I live). I hope that's good enough for the notes!" Good enough?? Surely, she jests.

Belle Traver McDougall brings the sunshine

Laura Meiselman '79 with her mom, Hope, and sisters Paula Meiselman ’84 and Janet Meiselman ’82. in her own way(s): "I can’t imagine people wouldn’t want to write about the details of their lives…hahahahah! All goes well here in Vermont. I retired in June from my work in medicine at UVM, and now I am starting a new career in art. It was a wee bit hard to say goodbye to my 30-year career as a PA. However, it is so fun and so different using the right side of my brain for once! My rudimentary, online gallery is at www.bellemcdougall.com, and I continue to upload my art but haven’t figured out the e-commerce part yet. Stay tuned! At this point trying to get into a local gallery and display art around my community. Jesse will be 17 in December and starting to think about colleges and SATs, etc. Duncan celebrates 20 years with his non-profit “The Children’s Literacy Foundation” in March. I was thrilled to take a trip to Nova Scotia with my mom—Belle Sr. (90 years old!)— in October, along with my two sisters. It really was a mother-daughter trip to remember! Thanksgiving here in Vermont with many family members and numerous, new babies that my nieces are bringing into the world. I gave up Facebook for a variety of reasons. You can find me on Instagram. I do fret a good bit about the current state of affairs in our country, and try to be a good citizen supporting organizations, schools, and folks committed to making the world better."

On that note, best wishes to all, and if you ever feel like it, remember, your class would love hearing from you. Send a line anytime, and I'll pass it on. Cheers! LGD

Christine Franek Gray writes, “I have been back in Rhode Island for a year now after spanning the nation over the last 10 years with my husband, Tim, living in the Deep South in Alabama, the Midwest in Peoria, Illinois, and beautiful Northern California in the Napa Valley. Interestingly enough, it was a job offer to my husband from Brown University that brought us full circle. After a brief stay in Barrington to reacquaint ourselves with the lay of the land, we settled in Newport, and are loving the Ocean State from that perspective. I am looking forward to being close enough for an easy trip to Reunion and lots of other Lincoln events! Would love to reconnect with lots of friends and classmates who are also here at ‘home.’”

Liza Woodruff Wright shared, “I have been busy juggling work and family. Since the publication of my first picture book as author and illustrator (Emerson Barks, Henry Holt, August 2016), I have signed with a new agent and have recently sold another picture book to be published in 2019 by Holiday House. Winter Tales tells the story of Milo, a boy who follows signs in the winter landscape–a set of footprints, a single feather, a fallen branch, and more– which suggest nature has grander stories to tell once he knows how to look for them. I’m getting ready for another cold, and hopefully snowy, Vermont winter. I love Vermont, but when winter begins to drag on into April is when I miss Rhode Island the most. I hope everyone is doing well!” I was thrilled when Jill Lynch Levin reached out to help with Reunion planning and take over Class Notes. She and her husband, Matt, live in Barrington with their two daughters, and Matt is the COO of Munroe Dairy.

Trevor plays soccer, Evan is practicing to follow in his brother's footsteps, or a sport with more contact, based on his interactions with his brother! Gary is a project manager at Capital One. He checks in to the Manhattan office every month or two. I started at Blackstone Animal Hospital in September, and it has been great! Loving the new job. When we are not at work, we are usually on a soccer field, golf course, or riding horses!

Anne Sage Sgro (Twink!) checked in, saying, “I've enjoyed reconnecting with Lincoln friends since returning to Rhode Island. We live in Middletown, Rhode Island with our five-year-old son, Miles, who attends St. Michael's Country Day School. Jesse and I own Sage Cellars, Inc., a Rhode Island wine and beer distribution company, with focus on family vineyards and sustainable farming.”

Cara Millard Cromwell: Lincoln is a big part of my life these days, as my two daughters (Maggie ’20 and Caroline ’22) are there and love their Lincoln experience. We live in Bristol (with husband, Nick, and two dogs) and I am a public affairs consultant. I still spend a lot of time riding my horse, and also have had the pleasure of seeing a number of our classmates in and around Rhode Island. Amanda Davitt McMullen and I sit on the Alumnae Board together, and I see my dentist, Lena Karkalas Berwitz, every six months. I recently had a good laugh running into Stephanie Chamberlin at T.F. Green when I heard a loud, “It’s Cara Millard!” from a few feet away. Kristin DePasquale North is a Lincoln mom, and I also see her at our kids’ horse shows.

I hope to see everyone at Reunion next year. Lincoln has become an amazing home for girls’ education and a place where we should all be proud to have spent our formative years! Please reach out with any questions about Reunion cara.cromwell@gmail.com. Thanks! Cara Millard Cromwell

Lauren McInerney: In the spring semester of my junior year at Loyola University Maryland, I studied abroad in Alcalá de

Lauren McInerney ’14 in Parque Retiro in Madrid, Spain.

Henares, Spain. I lived with a Spanish host family and traveled to many different areas of the country—Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, Córdoba, Asturias, and Cantabria, to name a few. While abroad, I reflected on my first exposure to Spanish, which happened at Lincoln. I remembered my very first class as a sixth grader with Paqui; the classes I took in Middle and Upper Schools led me to the journey I am on today, as a double major in Spanish and international business. I hope to return one day for work or to explore more of the incredible place I now consider my second home.

Emma Peloquin: This past summer, I was able to intern at Hasbro (a global toy company) as a Global Brand Development and Marketing intern. My tasks included working on the Playskool, Sesame Street, and Mr. Potato Head brands. I was responsible for weekly POS reports, and collecting and analyzing NPD data, as well as editing category reports and creating competitive matrices in Excel. I also got to be the marketing lead for a cross-functional team developing a new Nerf product, where I provided competitive overview, trend analysis, and consumer insights data. I really enjoyed my experience at Hasbro. I learned great career-specific skills in brand development and marketing. I also was able to demonstrate my leadership skills and “thinking like a girl” in all aspects of my internship. In addition to my Hasbro experience, in Spring 2017 I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain. I studied at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. This was an experience that will always be memorable and unforgettable. As a student who loved taking Spanish classes at Lincoln and had always wanted to travel abroad to further improve my fluency, going abroad was definitely the right decision. I could not only practice my Spanish daily, I was able to explore Barcelona and make it a city that will forever be my home away from home. In addition, being abroad allowed me to


venture off and explore many other places such as Prague, Tenerife, Brussels, Lisbon, and Capri.

Ashlee Perrotti: After graduating from Lynn University in 2017, I had plans to open a clothing boutique and believed I would be involved in fashion as a young business owner. Shortly after graduation, someone very close to me was involved in a near fatal accident. I spent long hours in the E.R. for many months, and witnessed the difference nurses made in patients’ lives. During my daily visits, I became inspired to help others in the same way as the incredible nurses I got to know in the hospital. Today, I am living in Boston and studying to become a future trauma nurse in hopes of one day being part of that difference.

Emma Ruhl: In the fall of 2016, I studied abroad in Perugia, Italy. I studied in Italy for about four months, and attended classes at the Umbra Institute. The Umbra Institute is a program specifically designed for American students living abroad. I lived in an apartment with two other girls from my school, and met so many great people along the way. While in Perugia, I worked at a recreation center once a week for three hours. At the recreation center, I worked with individuals with mental and physical impairments. This was an amazing experience, and I am so fortunate that I was able to have this experience during my time abroad. Not many people spoke English, so I really needed to utilize other means of communication with these individuals. The connections and relationships I made at the recreation center were enhanced because of this. In addition, it was interesting to see these connections form and develop while using other means of communication, such as non-verbal communication. I traveled to a different place every weekend; however, my favorite place that I visited was the Amalfi Coast. This is an incredibly beautiful part of Italy, and I would definitely love to go back. Going abroad was a truly amazing experience, and I will take my experiences with me wherever I go. I would definitely recommend going abroad if it is a possibility for you! It is more than worth it!! Kennedy Tate: Since graduating from Lincoln in 2014, I transferred from Drew University at the end of my freshman year

IN  MEMORIAM

to the University of Rhode Island. I am now currently a senior at URI. I am majoring in political science, minoring in Arabic language and culture, and I plan on graduating in May 2018. After graduation, I plan on going to graduate school for social work. I also want to continue learning the Arabic language in grad school. My ultimate goal for an occupation is to work for human rights nonprofit organizations, like Doctors Without Borders, the United Nations, and Amnesty International. At URI, I am heavily involved on campus— I am the chairwoman of the Campus Affairs committee for the URI Student Senate, and oversee the logistical parts of campus life for students such as Housing/Residential Life, Dining Services, Public Safety, etc. I am the president of a social entrepreneurship student organization called Thrive, and I also serve in leadership positions in other student organizations on campus. I also have an internship with the legal department of the Department of Behavioral Healthcare Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals. I’m grateful to Lincoln School for the lifelong friends that I made and the skills the school gave me to be successful in my post-high school life.

Charlotte Whalen: Personally, this year has been one of adventure, independence, and excitement.

I am now a senior at Boston College, studying communications. This past spring, through BC, I was able to study abroad at the American University of Rome. It was exciting to meet and travel with new people, while fully immersing myself in the culture and beauty that Italy has to offer. Following that trip, I spent my summer in Los Angeles. I was there because I was lucky enough to land a dream internship at the Ellen DeGeneres Show. During that ten-week experience, I rotated through five different departments (digital, production, audience, research, and talent) and got a glimpse of the magic that happens behind the cameras. The people I worked with were funny and animated, which made the experience all the better! My co-interns were five other college students, mostly from the West Coast, who have been studying similar concentrations. It was great to share some East Coast pride, and especially give Little Rhody the

hype it deserves! One thrilling benefit of being on the set of the production and working in the executive offices was that the Ellen stage was on the Warner Brothers lot! I was able to see all the exterior and some interior sets of some of the most beloved movies and television shows including Friends, La La Land, Fuller House, Wonder Woman, The Big Bang Theory, Pretty Little Liars, and more! Overall, I learned a tremendous amount about what it takes to produce a highly successful talk show, while also gaining a great sense of what it would be like to work in the entertainment industry.

I could not be more grateful for the opportunities and experiences I had in 2017, and I am excited to bring this positive energy into 2018! Best wishes to everyone at Lincoln in the new year! Go Lynx!

2016-17 REPORT OF GIVING Dear Lincoln Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to introduce our annual report of giving. Lincoln has never been stronger, and you—our supporters and champions—play an important role in our growth.

The following pages reflect not only the financial investment in Lincoln, but also the unwavering belief in the importance of a Lincoln education. In fiscal year 2016–2017, Lincoln broke new ground in its quest to provide a vibrant learning environment that emphasizes intellectual challenge.

Your collective generosity has enabled Lincoln to: • Renovate the Upper School Science Wing

• Break ground on the STEAM Hub for Girls addition adding over 4,000 square feet of state-of-the-art instruction space on Butler Avenue

• Unveil new interdisciplinary courses as we discontinued Advanced Placement

• Expand the Lower School Save the Bay partnership to include Kindergarten–Grade 5

• Launch Middle School Innovation Nation partnership with Bryant University with a focus on design thinking

• Continually encourage our girls to take risks and push limits as they prepare for our ever-changing world

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I want to thank you for your generosity. Our strength is largely due to our strong belief that girls come first, and when they do, there is nothing they can’t accomplish. We simply couldn’t do this important work without your support.

I look forward to an exciting year ahead as we continue our work together. With much appreciation,

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

Together with their families, the members of the Class of 2017 made a Legacy Gift upon Commencement to mark their time at Lincoln. Thanks to their collective generosity, Lincoln students, faculty, and families will enjoy a fantastic broadcasting system at Faxon Farm, which is expected to be ready for the Spring 2018 season. This state-of-the-art system, which will be used for athletic events, gatherings, and Green and White Day, will provide the opportunity for sporting play-by-play, bringing a level of professionalism to our athletic competitions, and putting Lincoln in the company of many of its peer schools, which are already offering this enhanced experience for their athletes and spectators.

Over 25 families contributed to this exciting project at Faxon Farm. We are certain that this new enhancement will be enjoyed for years to come. Make sure to stop by The Murray Family Athletic Complex at Faxon Farm to cheer on Lincoln's athletes and to enjoy the new broadcasting capabilities, thanks to the Class of 2017!

Carolyn Shelley ’60

“Not many people knew this when I was a student, but I went to Lincoln School on a scholarship. Now, it’s time for me to give back,” says Carolyn Shelley ’60.

“I am very much in favor of an all-girls education for those who seek it, and appreciate my experience at Lincoln. Some say that I am very opinionated, but I consider myself an equal! My time at Lincoln really made me confident in my abilities,” adds Carolyn.

Carolyn first heard about the IRA Charitable Rollover gift option through another organization, and has used it for a few years. She likes giving with an IRA distribution because it enables her to be more generous to the causes she cares about, like Lincoln School, and it also has positive implications for her taxes. “It’s easy! I get the required distribution form, check the box for charitable distribution at the bottom, and they send the check on to Lincoln.” Considering an IRA Charitable Rollover gift?

The IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals age 70½ and older to donate up to $100,000 from their IRA to Lincoln School tax-free. Donors should consult their tax advisors about their specific situation. 53

We are deeply honored by the generosity of the members of the Lincoln Foundation, a group of individuals who have named Lincoln School as a beneficiary in their estate planning. These gifts have an immeasurable impact on our school and its future. Bequests have supported the growth of Lincoln’s endowment and have helped Lincoln to undertake a number of important capital improvements such as the renovation of Faxon Farm. Members are invited to attend a biennial luncheon held on campus to stay connected with Lincoln today. Please contact Molly Garrison, director of advancement, at 401-331-9696 or by email at mgarrison@lincolnschool.org to learn more about planned giving opportunities.
