79 SEPTEMBER 2019 the likely resting place of Lucy's remains that "Lucy is really here." By early spring, Newbury slate artist Michael Updike offered to carve the stone and elicited ideas from the girls as to its design. The girls chose to include a dove at the top to symbolize freedom; they looked to the surviving fragments of Lucy's dishes for other artistic elements, including the in- terlocking border that runs along each side of the stone and the tiny flower between Lucy's birth and death dates. A small teacup, a cherished detail chosen by the students to convey Lucy's hospitality, was selected for placement at the bottom of the back of the stone. The students had settled the matter of how the stone should look. But what should it say? For help in crafting the epitaph, the class sought the help of Dr. Whitney Battle-Baptiste, associate professor of anthropology and director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Center at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. No stranger to Foster's story, Dr. Whitney Battle-Baptiste and the dedication of the gravestone. 100 Cummings Center, Suite 101D .
