Meet Barbara Smith
My husband and I moved to Acton with our two children in 1988, and after a career in journalism I decided to stay home, raise the kids, and garden! I volunteered in town politics, in the Acton schools and with service organizations. When my husband died in 2002, I began working as a teacher assistant in a local high school until I retired. I’m a homebody and a reader, and still love to garden.
Meet Ed Charrette
My home in Lexington was truly the old homestead. We lived there as a family of different sizes for 55 years. At times, there were as many as nine people living there, my wife and her parents and our five children. The children attended the fine Town school system and all went on to successful university educations and careers. The home continued to be a family gathering place even after the kids scattered across the country.
Meet Grace and John
We are Korean American senior citizens living in the US for more than 60 years. Grace worked as a consulting dietician at nursing homes and John, a transportation planner at MA Dept of Transportation. While living in this house for 36 years, we raised two daughters, who became a violinist and a medical doctor, respectively. Grace loves tending the vegetable garden and John, writing in local Korean newspapers.
Meet Anna and Nicholas
We are Nick and Anna. We met while hiking in Maine, picking wild blueberries along the path, during orientation for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. In June 2020, during the height of the pandemic, we got married at an intimate ceremony at World's End conservation land in Hingham.
Meet Tina and Matthew
We met in college in Boston and got married after graduation. We decided to purchase a starter home in Lexington, known for its great schools and community while being able to commute easily to our respective workplaces. We are a very active family with two small children and we enjoy a variety of sports, birding in the great outdoors, and making music.
