What never ceases to amaze me is the broad spectrum of Americans who can relate to"Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To Us"both young and old alike.
Hello Joe!
Yesterday was such a perfect presentation to our students on Boston's sculptures. You had the attention of over 90 seventh graders
who learned more in that hour than we could have taught them in a week. Your power point and accompanying stories behind each
sculpture brought the bronze and stone to life. Thank you, Joe, from all of us here at Diamond Middle School, for your passion in helping us
see our fair city and her public art with new eyes. Now when we venture into Boston on our walking field trip next week with your wonderful book to guide us and our sketch books in hand, we are sure to have a most memorable day!
It is no small feat, Joe, that you could keep rapt attention of almost 100 thirteen year old children on a warm Friday afternoon. It was the end of a long week yet they held onto your every word and answered all of your questions thoughtfully. You complimented their answers and made them all feel so good about their knowledge and the inferences they drew about the art.
Again, thank you for coming to Lexington to teach our children and inspire us all.
Most sincerely --
Diane Gallagher
