Vermont has been very good to me and my family. I came up here after leaving the military in 1981 and never doubted this is where I belong.

Having said that, Vermont is populated by humans. There is nothing uniquely Vermont about Vermonters other then the fact we're from the state of Vermont.

What's important to you?

I think as you're here in Vermont, you're going to be able to find quality Maple sugar products pretty much anywhere you go - ask locally first. I'm more comfortable shipping the plastic jugs - if people don't like those containers, they can always pour the syrup off into something more acceptable (in my home we regularly use a glass decanter that we fill as needed from the gallon jug).

Had a pair of Golden Eagles stop by the property once ... about 30 years ago. Absolutely majestic and HUGE. I swear the male stood almost as tall as 5' 10" me.

Here's a point of personal responsibility for folks to keep in mind: not a single one of us was born racist. Some of us were raised by our families and communities to be that way, and some of us weren't.

Yeah - looking at you "adults".
