Carole,
Thank you, Carole, for your kind words and for putting up the flyer. It’s a first year do we don’t quite know what we’re in for but I’ve got 844 eggs ready for those little baskets 😊 and I’ve got a person willing to be a Spring Chic! [Sonya the Spring Chick and Mo, the scapegoat at the Egg Hunt] Should be fun.

Hi Linda,
You were a great choice for Parks and Rec Commission (PRC) You were so enthusiastic about the project you are spearheading – The Egg Hunt. You bring that joy to all you do.
Thank you, Carole
Carole:
My parents owned a cabin in Stockbridge for decades and I have greatly appreciated your reporting from the region.
I’m writing today to pitch a potential column idea for the Eagle. As I’m sure you know, the ACLU of Massachusetts has been on the frontlines of fighting the Trump administration’s autocratic impulses and strengthening our democracy — working in the courts, in the streets, and at the statehouse. With the first anniversary of Trump’s second inauguration next week, I’m wondering if you’d like to talk to Executive Director Carol Rose about the highs and lows of a year on the frontline —and her hopes and plans for the year ahead. I’d be happy to set up a call.
Lots to discuss… including why Carol feels hopeful about the future, even amid the chaos and division.
Thank you for considering!
Best

Carole,
The column was just wonderful! You did a masterly job weaving in historical context and the urgency of our present-day crisis. THANK YOU!

Carole,
A great article. I learned more of the ACLU because of it. Thanks for the continuing education of Mr. Moose.

Carole-
I took the attached photo of my family’ gravesite at St. Joseph’s Cemetery a month ago. Below the photo are my thoughts when I returned home. The frozen flag struck me as there was no breeze at the time. Maybe the result of a flash freeze during a strong wind, days before my visit.
Best,
Tim O’Brien
Hi Tim,
Is this for Stockbridge Updates?
Carole
Not necessarily, as it may not fit the nature of SU content. You can publish, if appropriate. If not, that’s fine. It’s a struggle to make sense of what’s going on. So, just sharing a thought.
Best,
Tim O’Brien
Here it is, Tim, complete with your caption. Both are great. C
The flag appears to be waving in the wind.
It’s actually frozen in place, unable to wave freely.
Like our democracy at the moment.
The flag commemorates my Dad’s service in WWII, fighting fascism.
The flag, like our country, waiting for a thaw.
Hi Carole,
Would you mind posting this in your Stockbridge e-mail group if that is something you can do for me?
Hello Stockbridge Residents, I’m reaching out from the Norman Rockwell Museum where I oversee education programs. We are hoping to hire several PT museum tour guides. Museum guides give daily tours of our galleries and Norman Rockwell’s Studio. These positions are year-round, but since we are extra busy in summer and fall, we would also consider a candidate who is here only part of the year. However, I am looking for someone who can make a longer term commitment (ie., this is not an internship opportunity for a college student unless they.are local). The positions are paid and we offer flexible hours. Norman Rockwell Museum is a great place to work. Visit our website for more details – https://www.nrm.org/about/employment/
Please apply if you are interested and/or help me spread the word if anyone in your network might be a candidate. Thank you.Warm regards, Kathryn Potts
