Presents for its 2002 Annual Meeting
Mrs. Rachel Walker
Tuesday, May 21, 2002, 7:30 PM Kate Carney portrays Mrs. Rachel Walker, innkeeper and mother to Paul Revere's wife. In a living history performance, in costume and character, you are transported back to 1789 as her guest at the North End Inn and Tavern, just before a visit from President George Washington. She reveals the scuttlebutt, about the Boston Massacre, the Destruction of the Tea, Paul's midnight ride. She has her complaints--her daughter Rachel raised Paul's six older children, bore eight of her own, and ran Paul's household - on little money. Mrs. Walker tells of the turmoil and dangers of everyday life in Pre-Revolutionary Boston. Her story is history from a front-line point of view. It is a tale of extraordinary things done by ordinary people. Storyteller, actor, teacher, coach, Kate Carney, M.A., before founding Heroic Women You Can Talk To, performed on TV, in feature films and in theaters in Boston and New York. Her shows have toured nationally and internationally. She directed and taught acting at Brandeis, Smith and other colleges for 25 years.

an illustrated lecture by John Cleary, Winchester Collectibles Wednesday, March 27, 2002, 7:30 PM Winchester Room, Winchester Town Hall 71 Mount Vernon Street The Society invites other people owning these treasured postcards to bring them to exhibit at the meeting. The collection from the Town Archives will also be displayed. John, a lifelong resident of Winchester, started collecting stamps at age nine. This evolved into an antique toy collection of over 3500 items, and then into Winchester items, specializing in a postcard collection of which he has nearly 300 black and white cards of perhaps 350 published. These cards picture Winchester from 1900 to 1960, and were popular travelers' purchases when the train to Boston made a stop in Winchester. In the past John ran a local company, Winchester Collectibles, and today it exists on eBay on the Internet.
