Allan Rohan Crite
1910-2007

Master Visual Artist, Painter, Printmaker, Author, Lecturer, Historian & Good Neighbor

“As a Visual Artist, I am in the communication business….I am a part of that tradition, a storyteller of my part of the story of man..that collective memory we call ‘history’. It is the memory of the past which shapes the present and gives guidance to the future. I am a storyteller of my view of the African American experience: in a local sense the neighborhood; and in a larger sense, a part of the total human experience.”

A Welcome Winter Party…

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

A Welcome Winter Party That Reminded Us That, Despite The Recession And The Terrible Weather, We Live In A World-Class City With Fabulous Cultural Institutions.

Boston Public Library

In the middle of the bleak month of February, many Boston real estate professionals were invited to an event at the Boston Public Library sponsored by First Republic Bank. This party was held in the old reading room in the original part of the BPL. There were lit candles, a live classical string quartet, four different food stations preparing delicious foods such as mushroom risotto and Asian noodles, open bar, and even private tours of the library!

There were no speeches or product promotions. A bank representative simply thanked everyone for coming and stated that the event was simply a “Thank you” to those people who have worked with the bank. How refreshing! It was an uplifting time for all and we appreciate the positive reminder that Boston is a special city that will withstand the changes in the economy as easily as it has withstood the changes of many seasons. Thank you First Republic!

For your information, we at Cabot & Company particularly enjoy working with Rich Kertzman at First Republic (t: 617-478-5126 …email: rkertzman@firstrepublic.com).
