Welcome to this space from a homesick Vermonter living in Massachusetts for many years. We head for Vermont for vacations and getaways but we never could figure out how to earn a living there.Amidon is an old VT name on the east side, my dad used to say. He came from Ryegate-Wells River area. Is that near you? My husband and I grew up near Burlington so we still have relatives around that area. I missed saying hello sooner--late as usual !
