Scenes like these are repeated throughout Vermont today. I could post more but it makes me too sad. Suffice it to say that Vermont has been hit hard but I'll leave you with this quote from Calvin Coolidge.

"I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who have almost beggared themselves to serve others. If the spirit of liberty should vanish in other parts of the Union, and support of our institutions should languish, it could all be replenished from the generous store held by the people of this brave little state of Vermont."
