YOU MIGHT HAVE GLIMPSED the ghost of Ralph Waldo Emerson when his former home, the Old Manse, a historic Concord estate built in 1770, hosted the Trustees of Reservations on July 10. Drawing more than 140 friends and members of the organization, the event, cochaired by Nancy Nelson and Christopher Lydon, featured a dinner with readings from Sukey Forbes and Alec Forbes Emerson (descendants of the great American poet and Transcendentalist) and a silent auction that garnered nearly $100,000 to support the Trustees.
