Ever complain that today's media are filled with nothing but bad news and new things to worry about? Ever wish that the media published more good news?
Well today is your lucky day. There isn't a single word of bad news here... and everything you read will make you feel good. I guarantee it.
How can I proclaim all this and every good thing that follows? It's because I have the honor and high privilege of telling you the uplifting story of one of Boston's citizens...Henry Lee, a man who made not just a difference but all the difference to the enhancement of one of the great cities of the world -- Boston, Massachusetts.
Never heard of Henry Lee... no matter. If you've ever been to Boston (and, if not, you should visit as soon as you can) you have seen his handiwork... in the Public Garden and its sister parks, the Boston Common and the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. These are amongst the glories of this place... and they are such glories because of Henry Lee, the man who decided to make a difference... and did.
Born with a sterling silver spoon.
Henry Lee is a Boston Brahmin, the kind of person this iconoclastic ditty was written about:
"I'm from the city of Boston. the land of the bean and the cod where Cabots speak only to the Lowells and the Lowells speak only to God."
From "All Hail to Massachusetts", with words and music by Arthur J. Marsh, made the official state song of Massachusetts on September 3, 1966, and codified by an act of the General Court in 1981.
Born in Beverly Farms, Massachusetts (a place chock-a-block with a plethora of Brahmins including plenty of Cabots and Lowells), Henry Lee was born into a privileged world charted for him from conception.
His relations include former Massachusetts Governor Francis W. Sargent; Elliot Lee Richardson, the U.S. attorney general who stood up to the shenanigans of Richard Nixon, and Henry Lee Shattuck, a state legislator and a Boston city councilor who founded the Boston Municipal Research Bureau. All these people knew who they were... and what they must do, including the maintenance and preservation of the unique heritage of Massachusetts which was, after all, a heritage their families had originated in the first place.
Lee matriculated at Harvard (the right young men always did)... then (rather audaciously) went on to Stanford University. California, for Brahmins venturing West was the equivalent of Christopher Columbus discovering America; wills were written before embarkation and parents embraced as if for the last time. For such people Boston would always be their city, truly "the hub of the universe." (Of course, in due time the relentless waves of Irish emigrants -- including the Kennedys -- changed all that forever.)
Following Stanford Lee went into the Foreign Service serving as a diplomat in Washington and Europe. This too was a bastion for many Brahmins who required a respectable but not overly taxing career. He moved to Beacon Hill in 1958 and taught at the toney Dexter School in Brookline. Then at age 55 (he is now 86), he decided to branch out to the congenial work Brahmins do best, improving the city they will always secretly believe is theirs and must never cease to be. He had only to glance out the window and down the street from his home on Mount Vernon Street, byway of Brahmins, to see what must be done.
The degradation and dilapidation of Boston, the inglorious reality.
The proud city of Boston, fomenter of Revolution, had by the 1970s hit bottom. It looked what it was: a city decayed, disillusioned, devastated... a brutalized example of everything that was wrong with urban America. Nowhere was this distressing blight more evident than in the very parks and open spaces Lee could walk to from his house in just minutes.
What he saw was deeply distressing to the man of culture and breeding he was. Graffiti stained the statues, including the celebrated statue of Washington; the bridge over the lagoon was crumbling, and sections of the iron fence were missing. Drugs and crime were constant occurrences.
Henry Lee was persuaded to become the first chairman for the new Friends of the Public Garden and invited some friends to attend the first meeting at his home. He thought, he was told, the project wouldn't take much time... but in fact the man was now at the commencement of his 41 year career.
Tenacious, diplomatic, successful.
Lee set to work with a will; he understood that the city's financial circumstances were such that he and his organization would have to raise the necessary funds. Brahmins are excellent fund raisers for the projects they endorse and believe in; Lee was superb at the "begging" game. And at never losing sight not only of the green spaces... but of the overall environment. As such he lead the successful campaign to scale back the Park Plaza development, which would have menaced the parks. This was perhaps the single achievement he was most proud of.
Never a dime's salary.
And so, for 41 years, until just the other day in May, 2011, Henry Lee did his important work, always a gentleman, the perpetrator of an avalanche of personal notes, pertinacious, focused, the master of both grand designs and all the myriad details of his cause. He literally changed the face of Boston, now wreathed with greenery, flowers, open spaces, refreshing to the spirit, signature elements in the city's magnificent panorama.
And it all started with just one man, Henry Lee, who could have remained set in the past... but chose instead to position a notable metropolis and its first-in-the- nation green spaces for generations yet to come.
You could do something as important too.
Henry Lee, upon his retirement, left an organization of $17 million and 2,500 members.
When next you are wondering how you can make a difference in your community, look around you and select an important task, something truly important. Then invite them to your home... and commence your own journey to shaping a better world... the way this great and good man did and which you may also do.
