Recently I did the Greater Lowell Community Foundation Annual Meeting with guest speaker historian Doris Kearns Goodwin at the UMASS Inn and Conference Center. The GLCF mission is to “To foster community growth and development through funding, leadership, and collaboration to transform the lives of the individuals and organizations we serve”. President and CEO Jay Linnehan interviewed Goodwin and she regaled several stories about her research and career. Afterwards she did a book signing and even gave me a little time for a 30 second portrait.
