Dear Neighbors,
It's time to pass the torch. My term as President of Lincoln Central Association ends tonight at LCA's annual meeting and election. It has been a true honor to serve in this role.
My enormous pride in what LCA has accomplished in recent years — through the efforts of many and building on what came before— is surpassed only by my optimism that the organization's best days are yet to come. Indeed, they are.
LCA will soon be under the leadership of a new President to be elected by the 2020 Board. The new President will, no doubt, approach some things differently. And, whatever changes they make will likely strengthen the organization. While a new President will build upon the foundation that today exists, they will also offer new energy and different skills as they continue LCA's journey forward.
The journey of a volunteer non-profit is never linear. Nevertheless, it is my belief that LCA should always be moving forward with the goal of finding new ways to create successful outcomes which further enrich our community. Not because it's easy; but, because it's possible. Indeed, to properly serve the neighborhood, LCA should continue to be an organization energized by possibilities, not defined by limitations, self-imposed or otherwise.
From the Heart,
|

President, Lincoln Central Association

THE INHERITANCE OF ONE PENNY
An Old Dog Learns New Tricks
By: Kenneth Dotson
|
|
January 2, 2002, 1:59 PM
Kenneth,
Tomorrow, I'll begin my book on Penny. It will be a best seller and make me a millionaire.
This morning your Dad wanted to go to town. We didn't properly close the basement door and Penny ran upstairs and really had a party. She took the spread off two beds, pulled clothes out of my closet, took strings out of your Daddy's shoes. She carried things from one room to the other, pulled a lamp off the table without breaking anything and stirred up a few things in the panty.
|
|
I'm sorry we don't have a video. It must have been a blast. I'll bet we won't let that happen again. I wonder why we didn't name her "Trouble" instead of Penny. Love, MOM
|
|
As a child and beyond, the primary pet on the Dotson family farm was always a female German Shepherd. First, there was Kate (pictured here with me in 1964), followed by Polly, Lady, Mindy and Mindy 2. Then came Molly who I bought as a gift for my parents in 1990.
While visiting my parents over the 4th of July in 2001, it was obvious to me how much they missed Molly who had passed away earlier that year.
Late
one morning, I made a spontaneous decision to gift them with a replacement. After identifying a breeder near the Alabama border, I headed out the door telling Mom not to expect me to be home for lunch.
At various points during the two-hour drive south to the breeder, it occurred to me that Mom and Dad, then in their 70's and 80's respectively, might not be happy with the responsibility of a new puppy and that maybe it would have been best to consult them first. On the other hand, it had always been my experience that receiving forgiveness from my parents generally was easier than obtaining permission.
Dozens of puppies were available at the breeder. Each was as cute as the other and making the a selection was going to be difficult. It then occurred to instead wait and see if a puppy would select me. It worked! Apparently more anxious for human contact than others, one of the puppies quickly pushed her way to the front demanding my attention.
Thirty minutes later, with that four-week old puppy in my lap, the two of us began our drive back to the farm. As they say "car sickness happens" and whatever was in the puppy's stomach was on my shirt upon arrival back at my parent's house in late afternoon.
Mom was keenly aware that nothing in Centerville, Tennessee takes five hours to do, so upon entering my parents' house, she looked at me and asked: “Where have you been?" Then observing my clothes she added: And, what have you been doing?”

AN INVITATION TO GATHER TOGETHER
Community and Our Older Neighbors
|
|
The winter holiday season has passed, and there’s now an opportunity to renew our focus on other pursuits. For my wife Ausra and me (pictured), community engagement is one of the top priorities we focus on. As Lifetime members of Lincoln Central Association, we heartily thank the organization’s outgoing leader and look forward to welcoming its new Board members and 2020 officers. We've found our engagement with LCA both enjoyable and rewarding.
In particular, Ausra and I have found that LCA gatherings always offer extraordinary opportunities to meet interesting people, learn more about neighborhood businesses, and interact with representatives of important local institutions. From time to time, they also provide the opportunity to bend the ear of elected officials who frequent LCA gatherings. We hope to see many of you this evening, Wednesday, January 22nd, at LCA’s 2020 annual and reception which you can read more about elsewhere in the newsletter.
When Ausra and I attend LCA events, we always see many familiar faces. Sometimes, it's because we see people we’ve known for many years. In other cases, however, LCA itself was the catalyst. Among other things, of course, we’ve been introduced to neighborhood establishments like J9 Wine Bar and Cedar Palace that we’ve patronized many times since.
|
|
I can’t help but wonder about the many other neighbors who might enjoy participating in LCA activities and attending events if they only had someone to encourage them to, or someone inviting them to attend an event together.
In particular, I wonder about older adults because, t
ogether with Ausra, I own
Lincoln Park Family Care
which provides assistance to our older adults in need, a group that often struggles with isolation. Frequently, I find that some seniors are absent from social gatherings largely due to
unintentional disengagement. (Robison pictured here at LCA's 2019 annual meeting.)
Aging adults often have many challenges staying engaged in their communities. They often have dwindling circles of local friends or health challenges (for themselves, spouses, or friends) that make outings more difficult and stressful. Or, perhaps, they have an inability to communicate effectively through modern social media, email, or smart phones, etc. But it doesn't mean they don't want to be involved. Sometimes, they just need a warm nudge from caring neighbors to remain involved in the neighborhood.

The Inheritance of One Penny: An Old Dog Learns New Tricks, continued
|
|
Penny at rest and at play on her first full day on the farm, July 6, 2001
|
|
Yelping sounds from the front porch answered her questions before I could. My earlier concern about my parents' reaction turned out be unnecessary. They were delighted with their "gift" and quickly named her "Penny."
Penny immediately made herself at home on the farm. One of her first official acts on Day 1 was the destruction of one of Mom's flower beds (pictured immediately above). Before long, Penny was roaming the farm, swimming in the Piney River and capturing an assortment of wild animals. Mom and Dad updated me on Penny's latest escapades during each of our frequent phone conversations.
|
|
My parents' advancing age led to frequent and, and sometimes lengthy, trips to Tennessee. As a result, my bond with Penny continued to grow through the years. When my wife, Kelly, entered the picture in 2010, she and Penny began developing their own close bond.
My Dad passed away in 2003, and by 2012, my Mom's health was also in rapid decline, though her mind remained sharp and her will strong. She was at peace knowing her time on earth was dwindling. Always well prepared, Mom's affairs were fully in order — with one exception. She remained worried about what would happen to Penny. Aside from her faith and her two legged-family, Penny meant more to my Mom than most anything else.
|
|
Mom didn't think I was the right person to help her solve the problem because she didn't always think my decisions about dogs were particularly wise. Back in my bachelor days, for example, I saw a female puppy in Boston. I just had to have her and made the purchase. It was 1999. I already had two other little puppies and when Mom found out about the third, she said: "
I'm worried about you, son. I'm afraid you've got more dollars than sense."
So, while Mom didn't know what should happen with Penny after her death, she had some pretty strong feelings about what should NOT happen: “
Kenneth, you're not taking Penny to Chicago after I die! She's an outdoor dog. It wouldn't be fair to her and it wouldn't be fair to Kelly. Do you hear me, son? I don't want you to take Penny to Chicago. I want to make sure you understand that." I did understand her and realized Mom was right — which was mostly always the case. Mom did, though, change her mind about the third puppy after meeting her. She even offered to take the puppy off my hands after meeting her. (Many of you actually came to know that puppy quite well a few years later when she and the other two critters accompanied me on the move to Chicago. In fact, she visited many of your homes at one time or another. Her name was Spice.)
|
|
The matter of Penny's future remained unsettled when we visited Tennessee for 2012 Christmas holidays. During the visit, Kelly initiated a conversation with Mom and assured her that both of us — not just me and especially her — wanted to care for Penny in Chicago. These two stubborn women had grown close, so they talked about the situation for a while. Knowing Kelly was all in, Mom finally gave her blessing. She was then at peace about her precious Penny.
Not everyone else was, however. After my Mom passed away in April of 2013, I walked in on a family conversation one night with several trying to make their case that Penny should live with them. The rest of the conversation was short. As executor of Mom's estate, I had not only her Will & Testament, but also her hand-written instructions. In part they read: "
I want anyone who gave me or your Dad anything to have the first right to take it back." End of discussion! In a reversal of
Green Acres, Penny, at age12, would be trading life on a rural farm, the only kind she had ever known, for a new life in the big city.
Though she had never been walked on a leash or rarely spent a night indoors, Penny was a natural at city life and adapted immediately. She loved Oz Park and all the new people and dogs she met. Penny loved everyone, but she had a particular fondness for seniors and children.
Mom's greatest wish for Penny was that she be well cared for and happy regardless of where she ended up. Judging from the pictures below, it seems Mom's wish came true. Until the very end, the smile never left Penny's face. At age 15, her body finally wore out. When the twinkle left Penny's eyes, we knew it was time to let her rest in peace. We said goodbye to Penny in May of 2016 holding her as she drifted off for her eternal rest after a life well lived.
That one Penny was the most valued part of my inheritance. We treasure the three years she spent with us in Lincoln Park. Penny will forever be in our hearts.

An Invitation to Gather Together, continued
|
|
As we look to meet new neighbors and strengthen relationships we already have in the neighborhood, let's do our best to encourage our longest-time residents to join us at our neighborhood gatherings once again. They have such great stories about our neighborhoods, departed neighbors, and past events. They can provide rich historical context about the place we live and offer valuable institutional knowledge to younger generations. I applaud LCA for its efforts to engage former Board members, regardless of age, for this very reason, as well as to show appreciation. (Robison seen here engaging neighbors at
2018 Howler at Bauler.)
Of course, we need not limit our efforts to seniors. There are many others in our midst who might also join in on the fun if given the aforementioned "warm nudge." Perhaps, it is someone new to the neighborhood looking to find their way around. Or, maybe it's someone recently retired who might enjoy re-engaging with community after years of focus on career. It might even me someone like me. After all, it was a warn nudge that got me involved with LCA. I'm grateful for the suggestion.
Regardless of what neighborhood you live in, there is no place better for finding a warm reception than Lincoln Central. In fact, you’ll find an open heart.
