I know I join many, many others in expressing our condolences to you and your family. Esther was a gift to the town. In addition to all the students who were enriched by her teaching and her contributions to our understanding of who came before us, her great legacy is her family, who continues to serve our community.

As many longtime Lincoln residents know, she lived in Lincoln’s Browns Wood neighborhood and raised her four children with my father, Mort Braun, from 1960 to 2001, before she moved to Carleton Willard Village. She was an active participant in Town affairs, including the 1990’s school building committee, but she was most well known as a Smith School teacher in the 1970’s and 1980’s. She and Susan Reece (late mother of Sarah Bishop) team-taught 50 fourth and fifth graders in a single classroom, which many knew simply as “Braun Reece”. My mother taught science and math, often devising her own materials and approaches. One of those efforts led her to publish a book “The First Peoples of The Northeast”, which is still used in schools and available in libraries and museum stores. A more detailed obituary article and memorial event will follow. I just wanted to get the word out to fellow Lincolnites who might want to know.
