New Online Exhibit focuses on Natick’s Post Office Mural
On Oct. 17, a standing-room only crowd gathered at Natick Historical Society for the presentation of a new online exhibit about the mural John Eliot Speaks to the Natick Indians, located in Natick’s Post Office at 15 Common St. Painted by local artist Hollis Holbrook in 1937, the mural depicts the forced removal of the Indigenous inhabitants of Natick in 1675 during Metacom’s Rebellion, also known as King Philip’s War. They spent the winter on Deer Island in the Boston Harbor, where nearly half perished from starvation, disease, and exposure.

Boston’s famous reject has died
The death has been made known of Danny Katzen, a hornist who is said to have auditioned 48 times for the second horn position in the Boston Symphony Orchestra before finally being given the job. Danny entered the orchestra in 1979 and played for 29 years, retiring in 2008. He performed in Leonard Bernstein’s final lifetime concert at Tanglewood and can also be heard on most of the Boston Pops’ celebrated recordings, as well as on the John Williams soundtrack of Schindler’s List.
