2009 Annual Report.pdf - Town of Milton

EXPLANATION OF COVER ART
In 2009, the Board of Selectmen sponsored a photography contest entitled,
“What I love about Milton”, asking residents to submit photos that best illustrate
this sentiment. Julie Grimes submitted the winter scene on the cover of
this year’s annual report.
Julie is a member of the Milton High School class of 2003. She graduated
from Boston College in 2007 and is currently pursuing an M.D. at New York
Medical College. In her free time, she enjoys playing trombone, being outdoors
and spending time with her family.
The following, in Julie’s own words, is an explanation of the cover art.
“My favorite thing about growing up in Milton was the brook that runs
down the middle of Wendell Park, just across the street from my home. As a
child, I loved to play in the brook, sailing paper boats, counting frogs, and embarking
on imaginary adventures. Many of my childhood memories involve
walking home for dinner in soggy sneakers after another great day of playing
outside. As an adult, I am captivated by the brook’s natural beauty and the
serenity of its calmly trickling water. The already spectacular scene becomes
positively breathtaking after a fresh snowfall. I’m not sure it it’s possible to
truly capture the beauty of this brook in a photograph, but I make it a point to
go out each winter to document one of the things I love most about Milton.”
