Don’t miss ‘Mr. Chris and Friends’

Dear Editor,

On New Year’s Day, I was able to watch the “Mr. Chris and Friends” series on Vermont Public Television and boy, did his show lift my spirits. I already have tickets for his performance in Rutland on Saturday, Jan. 19 at noon. I hope my grandchildren can go but if they cannot, I am going without them.

You see, I too need Mr. Chris’s message. We all do. And his music. He writes a new song on every show and they are all sung from the heart. And … It’s not just Mr. Chris. It’s his friends too. All kinds of really authentic Vermont people. I didn’t know about Dr. Francois Clemmons, an old friend of “the” Mr. Rogers who sang with Mr. Chris a most beautiful song.

I want to learn to sing and play all of Mr. Chris’ songs because he sings what I feel too. He sings about kindness from the heart. His music helps me a lot these days. Please do not miss this show in Rutland. With or without the kiddos.

Kathleen Krevetski,

Rutland

Dear Editor, The administration’s announcement that the discriminatory prioritization categories throughout the winter months will be used is not only inhumane; it does not follow the law, which created no such prioritization categories and states who is eligible for shelter on a first come, first serve basis.
