Kristine (Buckley) Brown Edit	I come from a long line of A-Town kids. One side from Ireland the other from Sicily. My mom was a Fitzgerald/Mattaliano. My dad was a Forest/Buckley. My mom's family lived on Palmer Street and if you want a good lunch during the week or a huge breakfast on Saturday morning you can see my uncle Joe at the Legion. My dad lived on Lewis Ave in the house that looks like a castle with the multiple car garage. The Forest side of his family owned a taxi company and the Buckley side owned a milk company and a mens store. They both went to St. Agnes and were in the band. My dad went to AHS class of '67 and my mom was ACHS class of '69. I am the oldest of three children. We went to the Pierce School and the Ottoson. I was the class of '92, Elin was class of '95 and Dan was the class of '01. I married a kid from Arlington who actually grew up in that house that was 48 Broadway. Yes the house that caused a A-List stand off. His name is Rob Brown AHS class of '93. We have two children. Matthew age 9 and Megan age 6. I loved living in Arlington. I believe it made me the person I am today. (Updated 06/07)
Jan Aceti Edit	East Arlington resident since 1995. I started my own consulting practice in 2001, and have found Arlington to be a peaceful and convenient place to live and work. I belong to a wonderful, mind-broadening book group and a career women's group that has been meeting since 1999. Most days I take a walk around town as a break from work and as a daily bit of exercise. (Updated 06/04)

Combined between the both of us we have traveled 5 out of the 7 continents. We love to spend our time outdoors, go to music concerts, and travel on the weekends. (Updated 06/08)
Scot Applegate Edit	I coordinate the Arlington Norwegian Dance, which is a community social event that takes place on the third Friday of each month (except July and August) at the Chruch of our Saviour on Marathon Street (off Massachusetts Ave) in Arlington. Details are found on the Current Events forum at the Arlington Trading Post or among the listings of other Scandinavian dance events taking place in Arlington that are hosted by Speledans. No partner or experience with Scandinavian folk dance is needed, but beginners should come near the start of the evening to recieve basic instruction. All are welcome to just come and listen to the rare sounds of the Hardanger fiddle and other folk instruments played by local skilled musicians and guests visiting from across the U.S. and Norway! My personal webinfo is found here. (Updated 08/06)
Andy W. Bartlett Edit	Being a HAM, radio operator - N1OSG, not of the stage that is, I found this site to be unique and interesting. Of course, being a HAM, have to be careful of my meals, as I would not want to be accused of being a cannibal. No Ham sandwiches for me. Moved to Arlington Heights in October of 2006, and have found the denizens to be freindly and accomodating. Town hall is interesting, and the library is another nice visit. I like to tinker with "techie" stuff, so if a helping hand is needed, by advise, and free to boot, ask your question. If I don't know, I may know someone that does. Does anyone know if the town emergency services uses RACES communicators to help around? Or if there is an Arlington based volunteer group that could put a HAM to work? And if you have an interest in volunteering, BAA Marathon, The Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk, I can help direct you to the proper contacts. 73, Andy n1osg (Updated 05/07)

mae berrie Edit	I have recently purchased a home on Gray Street. I am new to Arlington and can not say enough about this darling town. I originally moved to the Boston area to persue my education. (Boston University) Upon graduation I took a job in the city and decided to stay. I am a speech pathologist. I enjoy hiking, cycling, and kayaking. I am also a vegan and practice nonviolence and pacifism. I participated in the Stonewalk which pulled the Memorial Stone for Unknown Civilians from ground zero to Washington DC.

marie bilone Edit	Hi, I have been an Arlington resident since 1967 when I moved here with my wonderful parents. They purchased an adorable ranch on Marrigan Street which has been sold since my father's passing. I pressently reside on Sunnyside Avenue which I purchased in 1999 and truly adore the area.Sunnyside Ave is to me Arlington's little secret paradise. Every morning I gaze out my kitchen window and look at the beautiful conservation land which abuts my property and lo and behold in my yard I have beautiful ducklings, Canadian geese, Cardinal's , Bluebirds, Woodpeckers, raccons, squirels and an occasional bunny or two. Looking over at the brook two large swans are seen very frequently dancing in the water. The conservation land is well maintained by the Sunnyside Avenue Community who take an active role in preserving the wildlife as well. It is a little paridise, oh yes fishing is a passtime here and boating as well. (Updated 03/06)

Jemma Boyle Edit	I've lived in Arlington since 1994, when I moved here as a newlywed. No longer married, but happily still here. Until I moved here I had never lived in any one town or house more than 3 1/2 years; now it's been 13! I live with my 2 wonderful kids, a daughter at Ottoson and a son at Hardy; we're on the lower end of Varnum Street in East Arlington, where our house backs up to Magnolia Field. Looking out my kitchen window I get to pretend I have a huge, green expansive backyard. And Magnolia Park provides a large part of our social life. We also have a very fresh, half-grown kitten who believes he is the new king of the neighborhood. This is my 4th apartment in Arlington. I hope to someday own a house here (in my dreams)... I work part-time for a small non-profit that trains and certifies doulas (labor assistants) and childbirth educators (www.alace.org). I am passionate about supporting women and their partners in pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. My children and I are converting to Judaism and are new members of Beth El Temple Center in Belmont. I look forward to staying in Arlington at least until my kids are done with school. Let's hope! (Updated 06/07)
Lauren Boyle Edit	I live on the lower end of Jason Street in a two-family fixer-upper that we bought a couple of years ago. I am originally from Akron, Ohio but came out east for college which is when I met my husband John. We have a beautiful baby girl Katie and a fat lovable black lab named Jake. I am a social studies teacher at Waltham High School and John is a police detective in Cambridge. We both have interesting stories at the dinner table each night! The Arlington List is a wonderful way to connect with fellow residents and a great way to stay in touch with the happenings around town. (Updated 04/04)

Melinda Breslin Edit	Married to John. We have 2 boys. (Updated 10/05)
Kyle Brooks Edit	I've lived in Arlington for about 10 years and love it here. Someone suggested I come here when I mentioned I'm looking for a roommate and want to advertise my businesses.I'm a member of the Chamber of Commerce (Michele is awesome!) and have gone to many chamber events to network and meet my neighbors. My day job is helping business owners make important decisions about their business by creating quick, easy to understand management reports using existing data. I can also create a custom application for your business. My specialty is MS Access. I can also set up your web site to capture data into a database. Using your time efficiently is important to success. (www.ksbdata.com) My second business is home-based and includes several product lines. I am an ARC/IATAN certified travel agent as well. (www.ksb-solutions.com) In my spare time (LOL) I do what I love the most; I am a commission songwriter. I have been writing for a really long time and recently decided to actively pursue writing songs for individuals. I heard that most people can't write songs. Is that true? (LOL) Why hire me to write a song? It is a very unique gift for that special someone you just met, you're having a baby, special anniversary, birthday or maybe you just have something to say and don't play an instrument, can't write music and can't sing! I can do it very inexpensively or you can spend loads of dough on a professional, full studio production. Did I mention that I'm also a recording engineer? I do not have a web site yet for my commission song writing, but can send you some song samples upon request until then. I really enjoy networking and meeting people. When I'm not doing any of the above, I'm at the movies, outside on the bike path or walking around my neighborhood. (Updated 03/06)
Janice L Cagan-Teuber Edit	My husband and I bought a house, here in Arlington, in October of 1981. Prior to that, we lived in Watertown. On August 3rd, 1989, our son (Kalman) was born. He is currently (2003) an 8th Grader, at the Ottoson. My husband (Hartmut) is Deaf, and grew up in Germany. He is fluent in 4 languages: German, German Sign Language (DGS), English, and Americal Sign Language (ASL). He teaches ASL at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education (anyone want to learn ASL? His classes run Tuesday evenings). I am an American Sign Language/English Interpreter, and have been self-employed since 1981. Prior to that, I taught DeafBlind children at Perkins School for the Blind. As of November 2003, my husband finally got a full time job, after being laid off in February of 2002. He is now a Teacher of the Deaf at a middle school in Lawrence. And ... our son, Kalman, was cast as Tevye in the Ottoson's school play, Fiddler on the Roof. My husband, as of the end of March, 2004, is no longer employed. He does teach ASL, and often works as a certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) who works in tandem with an interpreter like myself. Kalman was just cast in another play (new, one act) to be performed at the Wheelock Family Theatre. It's called "A Nice Place to Live" and covers an era on Martha's Vineyard where everyone knew sign language, and Deaf people were totally integrated into the fabric of the community. (Updated 05/04)
Kevin J Cahalane Edit	I moved to Arlington in 2005, to be within walking distance to my shop (World Wind Gifts 185 Mass. Ave...Next to Clay Dreams). I grew up in Cambridge, near the Mount Auburn Hospital, but my family lived on Medford Street, until just before I was born. In addition to the shop, I recently began working for U.S. Bank, in their Structured Debt area. (It seems that having cool things to sell doesn't guarantee that I'll be overwhelmed with shoppers!) I had almost forgotten what medical insurance and a paycheck were like! I also collect ancient art...coins, Greek vases, bronze statuettes, etc. I love the connection to people who lived thousands of years ago, whether it's the finger print left by the maker of my terra cotta altar from South Italy 2500 years ago, or the coin whose first owner was Julius Caesar. (Updated 02/07)
Jean Camp Edit	I live in the Heights, Peirce School district, where I am known as the tile lady. If you wonder why, go into Peirce School on the Summer St entrance and look up, to your left. I own my own high-powered commercial grade cotton candy machine. When not in Arlington I am a very solid interdisciplinary research in what was called telecommunications when I entered the area. (Updated 01/04)

You can catch me rollerblading on the bike path in good weather, or walking my boxer Hermione, occasionally with Moonlight the cat in tow. (Updated 12/07)
Jeff Chalmers Edit	Born and raised here 40 years ago, I own and operate a consumer-friendly one-stop real estate and finance service called Real Solutions LLC - http://www.ClicknCompare.com. It's unbeliebably sad at what's happened in the real estate and finance industry over the last several years. I grew up on Newland Road when there were only a few houses on the street and attended Peirce School during the "portables" era. Arlington has really changed in the last 40 years including shaking it's "dry" title and adding several great restaurants. While growing up, there were about 12+ pizza places; now, not even half that. Also, the hockey team dominated and was not only locally known, but nationally as well. I hope and wish all teams the best. (Updated 04/08)
Kristin Chalmers Edit	Just moved to Arlington 4 months ago with my husband (he grew up here) and 2 year old son. We were living in Los Angeles where I worked as a producer and a photographer while my husband was the head chef for Lucques Restaurant in West Hollywood. Once we got pregnant, I grew a bit tired of producing and my husband wanted a life, something you don't get in the restaurant biz. So after the birth of our son, I changed my focus (no pun intended) and went from editoral photography to photographing children and pregnancy. My husband left the restaurant and became a private chef. The Reader's Digest version is that we decided that after having our son we really wanted and needed to be near our families. My husband was born and raised in Arlington (or A-town) as he calls it, and I'm originally from Philadelphia but lived in Boston for 4 years while attended Emerson College. We met here, fell in love and then moved to LA. So here we are. We bought a really cute little single family on Forest Street. Our son will be attending Arlington Heights Nusery School next week. I am pounding the pavement to start my photography business here. Please check out my site http://www.kristinchalmersphoto.com/ . My husband is a private chef for a family in Brookline and I must say it's great to be back east. I am trying to meet other moms who are hip, with a great sense of humor who are fun to hang out with. Even though I have a photo biz, I still consider myself a stay at home mom. Something that took about a year to adjust to. (Updated 09/06)
Vicki Chambers Edit	Vicki Chambers, 44. My husband, Paul, has lived in Arlington over twenty years, and I moved here with him when we got married 16 years ago. We live in the Turkey Hill area with our two daughters, 6 & 9, and three cats. We actually spent 10 years in one house, and loved the street so much, we moved across the street to a bigger house! I'm active in Peirce School PTO. Until being downsized 18 months ago I was an Instructional Designer/Trainer for GE Capital. Have been making soup for friends and neighbors for the last ten months and am trying to expand it into a business, while looking for freelance work. Love to cook, garden and read. (Updated 08/02)
Avinash Chopde Edit	I live near the center and like to spend my free time in the library. My personal web site is at: www.aczoom.com (Updated 10/04)
Ron Cicotte Edit	I've been an Arlington resident since 1981. I live on Summer Street right across from the Minuteman Bikeway. I've been an independent consultant in Data Architecture and Systems Engineering since 1989 and founded Summer Street Systems in 1992. Most recently I have established a web site for my Arlington friends called the Arlington Trading Post. When you join the site you will have your own blog and be able to post your photos for your friends and neighbors. There are also forums there where you can post notices for yard sales or sell/trade things you don't need anymore. I hope you'll all take a moment to visit the site and let me know what you think. (Updated 05/06)
Chris Coffey Edit	I am a former 20-year resident of Arlington, about 10 years in East Arlington (Teel Street) and about 10 years on Foxmeadow Lane. I was in international banking for about 20 years. While still in international banking in 1994, I moved to North Carolina. (Too old for snow, I guess! My wife and I needed a warmer climate to grow old in!) I attended what used to used to be "Junior High East" and graduated from Arlington High School in 1969. BS in Accounting from Bentley College, an Associates in Applied Science from Johnson and Wales, and certified in music theory from Berkeley Conservatory of Music, Boston. I changed working careers in 1995, and am currently a chef with Sodexho Marriott International, assigned to Wingate University, Wingate, NC.

I am currently in 3 dfferent bands in the Charlotte North Carolina area, and have done some private music teaching on bass. (Updated 01/04)

I cofounded a startup called Virtual Ubiquity to build Buzzword, the first real word processor for the web, and in December 2007 we were acquired by Adobe Systems Inc. In the spring of 1999 my wife and I bought a two-family in the Center, and in the summer of 2004 we sold it and moved to the Heights. I'm interested in on-line community, and I'm a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers). Our daughter Lucy Rain Coletta was born on on May 16, 2003. In the spring of 2004, I was elected to Arlington Town Meeting from precinct 9, and in the spring of 2005 I was re-elected from precinct 14. I chose not to run again in 2006, but I'll probably be back at Town Meeting at some point. I was the manager of the Arlington list from November 25, 1999 until March 4, 2006. My blog is at www.colettas.org. (Updated 02/08)

I work in Arlington, have 4 kids 10 and under, am a special education advocate and nanny, and have a lot of connections to and good friends in Arlington. My daughter attended preschool/daycare in Arlington. I used to be very active in Democratic politics in my life pre-kids, and did an internship in 1996 with then Arlington State Senator Bob Havern. My kids and I are fans of a variety of Arlington playgrounds and they are especially fond of the "big" slide at park at Robbins Farm. I love Punjab for take-out and Olivio's for a nice dinner out with friends. We really like hiking on Whipple Hill, too, and visiting the llamas. I wish we could have afforded the rents in Arlington, but, alas, we moved up Route 2 to more affordable housing. (Updated 05/08)

Albie D. Edit	I moved to Arlington in 1966. I attended Bracket School, Ottoson Junior High and Arlington High School. I moved a couple of times but always seemed to find my way back to Arlington. In my opinion it's one of the best places to live and raise a family. Plenty to do! Robbins Farm was/is my favorite place to hang out and play every sport or just sit on the hill to look at the Boston skyline. If you watch the jets fly into Logan airport at night you can actually see them pass between the buildings. It's also a great place to watch the fireworks on Boston on the 4th of July. I use the bikepath constantly and I've participated in 6 Boston to New York AIDS rides. All the hills in Arlington make it a great place to train whether you're a jogger or a bike rider.

Keeping my eyes open on The List for 1) home repair references in the area, 2) reviews about the local restaurants, 3) possible connections with dancers "of a certain age" who might be interested in an easy-going modern improv. group. Cheers! (Updated 07/07)
Dan Dunn Edit	I moved to Arlington in 1999. I actually joined the list before I moved, as part of my investigation of the new place. When I first moved here I didn't expect it to last; I'd been moving around for years. But, I found that I really liked it, and here I've stayed. I've become very involved in local life. I won a seat in Town Meeting in 2002 and have volunteered for a couple of committees. I'm running for State Representative this year, in the 23rd Middlesex District. http://www.dandunn.org (Updated 02/04)

Harry Forsdick Edit	Hi. I'm Harry Forsdick. I live in Lexington, but really enjoy hearing about the issues discussed on this list. After being on the Arlington List for a while, I set up the Lexington List and several other mailing lists in Lexington. I used the Arlington List as the model for these lists. The best way to find out more about me is to check out my web site: www.forsdick.com. (Updated 12/07)
paul fox Edit	mostly just somewhat bemused by what the list brings past, i enjoy it for the news of the town i might otherwise not read in the advocate, and for the recommendations of local restaurants and services. we (lovely wife, rumpled dog, and three motorcycles) live within spitting, or rather, flooding distance of the arlington standpipe. some people say i have too many computers doing too many things for me, but i kind of like being able to check the furnace sightglass from a web page, thankyouverymuch. lived here since '90. wish i had a bigger garage, but other than that, the house, neighborhood and town are perfect. except for winter. i could do without winter.

Alan Frank Edit	I've been living in (East) Arlington since 1992 and in the Boston area for half my life--previously I had alternated between the NYC area (Bronx & Teaneck) and Ohio (Columbus & Oberlin--BA in Math '79).

Ted Goodman Edit	I've been in East Arlington with my family since 1993, and would like to share a passion of mine with anyone who might be interested. Aikido, with its non-aggressive approach to conflict resolution and its beautifully circular flow, has long since been my favorite long term health care plan. Off the mats, “psychological Aikido” has proven its merit in sidestepping the stress and strain of daily life in the office, behind the wheel and at home. (My training began in San Francisco in 1970 and continued during most of my 18 years in Japan. I’ve been teaching Aikido since 1993 in Brookline and, as of recently, here at the Arlington Center and also in Allston.) If this sounds at all intriguing, I'd be happy to answer any questions. (Updated 10/07)

Ryan Grimm Edit	Trying my best to be on the leading edge of twelfth-century technology (well, OK, maybe 19th century), I'm a handyman/carpenter/timber framer, and will take a wild stab at anything else my semi-massive intellect has a whim to try. In former incarnations I've been a machinist, mold maker, pattern maker, maintenance machinist, hardware & paint salesman, medium equipment operator, jacked up buildings and bridges, done tunnelling (aka been a Muck Savage), carpenter, timber framer, even dabbled in the arcane arts of electronics. Gave up on computer programming because of all those pesky punched cards. I have the vast majority of my client base in Arlington, and can be seen working out of my truck "George" (as in the Bugs Bunny cartoon 'I'll hug it & squeeze it & call it george'). (Updated 07/03)

Linda Ellen Guttman Edit	Profession: nationally certified massage therapist and owner of Body and Soul Massage Therapy & Spa.

Although I've lived in Arlington for 10 years, I've learned more about the town and my neighbors since joining the list; I've gotten a real sense of who lives here, what's important in Arlington and have gotten more active in local concerns. It's a great way to network, meet great people and learn about our great town. (Updated 12/99)
Uri Guttman Edit	I am originally from Brooklyn and went to MIT and stayed in the Boston area. I chose East Arlington to buy a 2 family house 11 years ago and have been very happy with my decision. Watching Arlington change over that time has been very interesting, especially the restaurant scene which blossomed with the relaxation of the beer/wine licensing a few years ago. I like attending the semi-regular mailing list dinners we have and I was instrumental in the creation of the first one, the (in)famous chinese food tasting!
