Re: [LincolnTalk] Love Letter to Lincoln

[Annamaria San Antonio]

I am sorry for your loss.  I did not know your mother but now I truly wish
I had.  Your writing reveals so much about her character and thank you for
sharing it, and for sharing her.  I like the last line best!

[LincolnTalk] Lincoln School Project: Remembering Jim Cunningham

[kim bodnar]

Jim Cunningham behind the camera at a Lincoln School project community
forum in 2017.

The School Building Committee joins the Lincoln community in mourning the
loss of Jim Cunningham. Jim was a dedicated volunteer who spent countless
hours filming the community forums, SBC meetings, town meetings, and
special town meetings that were focused on the Lincoln School project. We
relied on his presence over many years to help communicate this complex
process to the Town, and we deeply appreciated the technical knowledge he
brought to bear on renovating the systems in the Auditorium. We are
saddened by his passing and will always remember him as an integral part of
the project and of Lincoln's civic life.

*SBC meets via Zoom on Wednesday, September 14th, at 7:00pm*. The agenda
and Zoom link are here , and the
September photo gallery is here

Re: [LincolnTalk] Love Letter to Lincoln

[Anne Warner]

We all knew her, even if we didn’t know her name. The wonderful soul who pushed 
her red walker along the hilly sidewalks of Lincoln. Resting occasionally, 
always turning down offers of help or a ride with a smile. This was a person in 
love with life, a fixture of our town, and we shall miss her.

What a beautiful tribute. I cry again reading it after an earlier cry at First

Thank you Kathleen.  A beautiful tribute.  It truly captures the reminder
your mother provided me each time I saw her walking north or south along
Lincoln Road - just keep moving, have a goal each day and don't let my age
tell me what I can and cannot do.  She was an inspiration to all who saw
her.

Best wishes to all her family,

Sarah

Re: [LincolnTalk] Love Letter to Lincoln

[Sara R via Lincoln]

Thank you Kathleen for this beautiful remembrance of your dear Mom!  Our dogs 
and children always delighted in your mom and her beautiful smile and 
exuberance and kindness- and like many of our neighbors we saw her many many 
days of the week- she was part of our daily conversations and chats.  

We will miss her so!

Your friends from Tower Road-

Sara, Steve, Howie and Ellie Brown -and the dogs- Tiffy, Reppi and new rescue

[LincolnTalk] Come Join Us at Station Park Saturday Sept 17th 10-12

[Cathy Moritz]

Dear Lincoln Residents --

You are invited!

The summer of 2022 marks the 50th year that volunteers from the Lincoln 
Garden Club have maintained our Town's lovely Station Park.


Come celebrate with us at the

*Station Park Open House*

*Saturday, September 17th **
*

*10:00 am to 12:00 pm*

*Location:  Station Park -- at the intersection of Lincoln Road and 
Ridge Road, just across Lincoln Road from The Mall at Lincoln Station.**

*

*Light refreshments will be served, and the Farmers' Market will be open 
just across the street with produce, flowers, and crafts.*


_History of Station Park_

In 1972, Station Park was just a rutted dirt parking lot for the stores 
nearby.   The Lincoln Garden Club had been beautifying the Town since 
the Club's inception in 1928, and the members were asked to turn the 
parking lot into a park for the enjoyment of all.  A garden and path 
design was done by LGC volunteers who installed trees and benches, and 
from their own gardens, donated flowers and shrubs for the park's flower 
beds. Included among park projects over five decades, the volunteers 
worked with the Native Plant Trust of Framingham to design and plant a 
large bed of native flowers and shrubs in 2015. A water fountain was 
installed by the Club in 2016.  In 2017 and again in 2019, the trees of 
Station Park were featured in a town-wide tour of Lincoln's iconic trees.


LGC volunteers partner with the Lincoln Dept. of Public Works and the 
Dept. of Parks and Recreation to maintain the park's infrastructure and 
its lawns.  We are grateful to their hard-working and helpful staff.


/History Note: /Did you know that shortly after World War I, local 
philanthropist Helen Storrow arranged to place a Lincoln Girl Scout 
headquarters on the lot where the park is now?  Mrs. Storrow paid to 
have a former US Army building moved to the spot.  The building had been 
on Boston Common and was used by troops before they shipped out to the 
war in Europe.   At the open house, we will have a leaflet to tell you 
this and other interesting facts from the history of the park and its 
location before 1972.


Everyone is welcome.  We hope to see you there!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Tack Room - moderators please stop this thread

[Elizabeth Brown]

We are new to Lincoln as of last summer—coming from Cambridge and NYC. 

Honestly it is postings like these about the Tack Room that make us not want to 
stay in this town. 

One restaurant cannot be everything to everybody. They have lots of patrons 
from neighboring towns and areas—it wasn’t designed to be just for Lincoln 
residents nor to suit anyone’s particular needs, wants, desires.

Please create a conversation with the owners directly to nurture and respect 
their fledgling small business.

All best, 
Dave and Liz Elliott

[LincolnTalk] Love Letter to Lincoln

[K.P. Nichols]

In the beginning she walked easily.  Four miles a day, seven days a week,
no matter the weather.  Eager to meet you, wanting to hear your story,
ready to tell a story, hoping your dog be friendly.



Thanks, nice dogs large and small, for warm fur and wet kisses.



Thanks, Lincoln Garden Club for the water fountain and the beauty of Peace
Park.  She needed both.



Thanks to Lincoln’s school children who, racing past on Wednesday
afternoons without knocking her down, gave of their exuberance.



Thanks, Lincoln, for offering her rides on wet and cold days. And for
accepting when she cheerfully and unequivocally declined. Declining made
her feel stronger.



*She needs a cane now, hearing aids, glasses.  She forgets your names and
faces, is amazed you know hers. *



Thanks, Lincoln Police Department, for protecting her cross-walk and
listening to her stories.



Thanks, Lincoln Library, for supplying a steady stream of good books.



*She wears out several canes.  Now switches to a rollator – red -- so she
can paint the town.  Miles per day decreases to three.  Pace, slow but
resolute.*



Thanks, Lincoln, for calling her an inspiration; it made her try harder.



Thanks, bus drivers of Doherty’s Garage for every honk, wave, smile.



Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.” Thanks,
young biker who shouted, “Hello, Invincible!”



Pierce Hill Road gets steeper.  She stops to rest in the middle of the road.
Thanks for stopping to ask if she’s ok. And for telling her to move over.



Onwards and upwards she walked.

It took three heart attacks to stop her.



Thank you, Lincoln, for seeing, accepting, protecting, and cherishing her.



When last seen, Mama was heading east towards Harvard Medical School, eager
to tell a new story to medical students studying anatomy.



For Elinor P Nichols
(March 11,1927 - September 7, 2022)

[LincolnTalk] Tack Room-from the owners

[Brandon Bunnewith]

Lincoln, happy September from everyone at The Tack Room!

The timing of yesterdays discussion was great, as I had been working on our
September update/newsletter. We always appreciate feedback, good and bad,
and feel that both Mike and I are rather accessible people to offer this
feedback to. At the bottom of this note, you will find my contact info for
whenever you may need to chat. If you want to spend time with me, I am more
than happy to jump on a bike and go for a ride, take a walk through our
wonderful trail system, hit the links, grab a coffee, etc. -- so please
reach out! Our priority is to provide the community with a wonderful
experience for both dine-in and take-out. The summer was busier than we had
expected, and we are excited for everyone to be back in town. We have no
anticipation on going anywhere, so with that, here is my September update:

*Menu changes*. Chef Dan Lane and the kitchen have been working hard over
the summer to prepare for the fall. We have been playing with specials that
will work their way into the seasonal menu full-time. Chef Dan started with
us the *second week of June* and is highly respected in the area. He has
hired a kitchen staff that he has worked with for over 15+ years in and
around Boston and Cambridge. Over the past month, we have enjoyed a myriad
of specials as he learns some of the preferences of our patrons. The menu
will never be stagnant. For a chef the menu is his creative outlet, and
without being able to change the menu, we would be cutting our chef from
his oxygen.

 Will we move from smashburgers to a single patty cooked to temp? Possibly.
Take a drive into Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, down to NYC, DC, Chicago,
and you will notice a significant number of high profile restaurants that
use smashburgers, as they retain juice and flavor and highly reduce the
number of send backs to the kitchen. Will some focus portions of the
entrées remain on the menu, but, their sides change? Yes. This goes back to
the creativity and having access to seasonal vegetables. Coming up for the
fall you will see the cajun salmon being served with whipped purple yams
and broccolini. Not only does it look great, but it tastes delicious!

We are launching a loyalty program for our online takeout. For every 5
online takeout orders, you will receive a code for 10% off your next order.
We encourage you to order online at the link here:

https://www.tackroomlincoln.com/online-ordering/the-tack-room/menu/order-settings

A note regarding takeout. Take out for a full service, dine-in restaurant
will never lead to the same experience as dining in-house. There are a lot
of variables that exist from the time that the food is prepared to when it
makes it home to your table. The time that the food sits in boxes as it
waits to be picked up, the transit time home, then ultimately eating it,
all leads to a different experience than when an item is cooked and
delivered to your seat moments later. Some items are and will always be
omitted from our takeout menu. At the end of the day, plating,
presentation, and temperature will never be the same as it will be in the
restaurant, and some things certainly travel better than others. We can
always offer recommendations on how to reheat wings, recrisp fries, and
warm other items at home.

Brunch is coming, brunch is coming! It’s been a goal of ours to offer
brunch on the weekends, and that time is almost here. We will start
offering brunch specials over the next two weeks, and fully launch our
brunch menu in early October. Brunch is often a very creative outlet for
chefs, so get ready for some riffs on brunch classics!

Throughout the fall, we are going to continue to expand our live
entertainment schedule. We have a few artists in our rotation, but, we are
certainly open to having more. Please reach out to me if you are interested
in playing, or, if you have friends to add to our lineup at the Tack.



Lastly, some upcoming events:

Phantom Gourmet Street Festival – Saturday, September 24, 2022 on Moody
Street in Waltham. We will have a tent set up in a couple Saturdays
participating in phantom gourmet’s street festival. If you are hanging out
on Moody for the day, please come say hello!

October Pig roast to benefit the Pan Mass Challenge. On the first weekend
of October we are going to have an afternoon of music, pig roasting,
raffles, and silent auctions to raise funds for the Pan Mass Challenge. We
are large supporters (I am a 7 year rider) so we’re thrilled to host a
benefit for the PMC mission. More details will follow, and a possible group
ride on the morning of the event.



In closing, we would like to thank all our supporters. We are so happy to
be in Lincoln and look forward to being here for years to come. 6 months
in, we are far from being perfect, but we are pleased with where we are. As
mentioned, staffing for many jobs in many industries is not easy right now.
We have been blessed with a great front of house staff. Chef Dan and 

[LincolnTalk] Lincoln Minute Men Remember Jim Cunningham

[Andrew Scheff via Lincoln]

Jim was a good friend to the Lincoln Minute Men and to the Minute Man
National Historic Park. He was the sound man supplying and running the sound
system for Lincoln Minute Men events.  He was very active in the repair of
Colonel Barrett House.

 

Below are comments from members of the Lincoln Minute Men when they head of
Jim's passing and to the request for a firing squad.

 

 

Jim was knowledgeable, a gentleman and a scholar in no passing way,
including his interest in the Lincoln Minute Men, and our events, which no
doubt included filming some of our educational musters in the past. Besides
his interest in the Barrett House and the Barrett family, he explored the
Town's history. It was he who uncovered the original of the town's
Non-importation agreement among the papers at the American Antiquarian
Society in Worcester. We went there together. This was a document that
Lincoln's citizens signed, if they were willing, to declare that they would
not purchase imports from the mother country unless our grievances were
addressed. As soon as he discovered it, Jim wanted a copy mounted on the
wall in the entrance to Town Hall. I'm not sure that happened, but we can
make it happen now. He also showed it to our town historian Jack MacLean,
who astutely noted that what was of interest was not only who signed it, but
also those who did not.

 

Jim was of course, as we have all acknowledged, a pleasure to work with, and
having him on the steps of the White Church or in the narthex was a key part
of a successful Alarm & Muster.

 

There are many reasons to be thankful for his life and friendship, and his
time among us.

S.M.

___

 

Jim was an incredible champion of LMM and the MMNHP. He will be missed.

B.M.

___

 

I'm in Colorado and won't be able to participate.  I wish that I could be
there for Jim. He was a good man, and I'm glad to have known him.

K.G

___

 

You will remember that Jim was usually in the kitchen with a smile on
Patriot's Day preparing breakfast for us at o'dark early before the Dawn
Salute and march to Concord.  We should also remember that he took on the
huge job of restoring Colonel Barrett's house in Concord, which included
engaging with others to raise the private funds to make it possible, before
the NPS took possession of it.  During the restoration, he located and
communicated with many of Barrett's descendants who were there for the
opening of the restored homestead.  He worked tirelessly without
anticipation of recognition or reward because that is the kind of person he
was.  I will miss him as will many of you and others.  He was one of a kind.

A.H.
