To the editor:
Did you see the August 15 letter to the editor from Amanda Smith? She is the Lincoln stormwater specialist. And if you’re like me, and didn’t know that Lincoln had a stormwater specialist, or even what a stormwater specialist is, I encourage you to read Amanda’s very informative, very friendly description of her role in helping to manage Lincoln’s stormwater setups, issues, and, uh, catastrophes. (My choice of the word “catastrophe” is based on my own growing awareness of the bizarre changes in our weather.)
Reading Amanda’s letter will also help you be prepared for running into her, either on your own property, nearby, or out in the wild places. Her photo, which accompanies her letter, makes her look both engaging and technically prepared for the complex task she describes.
I’m hoping that I’ll be one of the Lincolnites who gets to meet her—here, there, and possibly everywhere—and that you will be, too.
Sincerely,
Toby Frost
14 Woodcock Lane, Lincoln

Thanks for the info Toby. I was lucky enough to see her on the job along Page Rd, and stopped to invite her over to my neighborhood where a couple of catch basins have out flows that are difficult to locate. It was a nice way to end the afternoon. Jonathan Dwyer
