In the past 15 hours I have received numerous emails, FB messages and phone calls on the column that appears in the Bennington Banner, where I write a bi-monthly column. You can read the column by going here http://www.benningtonbanner.com/columnists/ci_16832523
One message I received was from an old friend I've not seen in decades. He said that he was at the Dorset Quarry the day Buddy Baker died. On one level I felt badly that I had conjured up those old memories in my friend's head. On the other, I was delighted that I presented him with an opportunity to remember his childhood friend; a young boy he liked very much and who he watched die as the result of a foolish prank.
Bad things happen to good people, sometimes by good people, in this world every day. I think it's good to keep this in mind.
This blog is to give you folks a little better understanding of the world through the eyes of an old Vermonter. We do things differently here. We live differently. We think differently. Just like you.
