Letter to the editor: Susan Fargo will be much missed

November 20, 2019

To the editor:

Susan Fargo served the town and state so well, as a member and chair of our Selectboard and as our senator, both with such accomplishment and both for a long time.

Susan had so many wonderful qualities — her intelligence, her ability to see both the big picture and the details, her hard work always, her wit, her extraordinary writing skills — that benefited us as our reporter and editor for the Lincoln Journal, Selectwoman and Senator. Her causes were always justice for all.

When we moved to Hillside Road in 1974, we were fortunate that our across-the-street neighbors were Susan, Foster, and Mandy. We visited back and forth; we adults were friends, and Mandy and our daughter played together for years. We were so glad when we learned that Amanda and her son, Brady Foster Fargo, had moved back to Lincoln, and we know how very happy Foster and Susan were to have their precious family here.

We are grateful for the lives of Susan and Foster and we miss them, and yet they are here, firmly in our memories. They have left us an important legacy. And we, too, are so glad that Amanda and Brady are here. We send them our very very best and our condolences.

Sincerely,

Joan Kimball
10 Hillside Rd., Lincoln
