Vermont

... was a neighbor many years ago when he was a Vermont state trooper and lived on the Russellville Road in Shrewsbury. The term, "neighbor" is flexible in rural Vermont; one can live a couple of miles away and still be considered a neighbor, especially if you both live on the same dirt road. My few brief encounters with him on Dump Day were always friendly, but I'm sure he would not remember me from Adam. It's just interesting to see how he has distinguished himself over the years. I was not familiar with his avocation as a historian. I'll have to read his work.
