Thanks Annie. Much of MA is well-informed, but what people do with it is another matter. I wonder if lower population densities in VT are a factor in low Covid rates.

NB, from ages 7-11 my family vacationed on Lake Champlain two weeks in summer. I was steeped in VT history and have admired Ethan Allen ever since. Multiple visits to Fort Ticonderoga helped in becoming a historian, though we never saw the gunners hit that battered metal can.
