TO THE EDITOR:
On April 1, 2011, a beautiful, talented and beloved young woman Lauren Dunne Astley celebrated her 18th birthday. Ten years later, on what would have been Lauren’s 28th birthday, please accept this invitation to celebrate her life and turn Wayland coral (#TurnWaylandCoral)!
Wayland’s own Susan Wagner, reporting for The MetroWest Daily News at the time, aptly captured the story behind the coral ribbons and bows that adorned so many doors, mailboxes, trees, lampposts and fences as 2011 drew to a close:
“The coral ribbons are mostly down, but the sparkle of Lauren Dunne Astley’s life is still fresh in the memory and love of her friends and family, both immediate and extended.”

GOOD MORNING, MASSACHUSETTS. Happy Monday!
BAKER S POPULARITY SAGS It looks like Gov. Charlie Baker s approval rating took a hit during the coronavirus pandemic.
The rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine at the beginning of the year, in particular, hurt the governor s standing among residents. An
online survey from three universities Harvard, Northeastern and Rutgers showed Baker s approval rating for how he handled the pandemic dropped by 21 percentage points. Baker s
approval rating was at about 80 percent in April of last year, and by this February had gradually declined to 59 percent.
That tracks with a UMass Amherst poll
