Thanks for the outpouring of support

Dear Editor,

Mere words cannot explain the depth of gratitude Sheila and I have for the friends and community members. A community we have been lucky enough to be a part of for over 40 years.

Since the diagnosis, many have offered to help. Some financially, some with visits and/or food and even, “i’ll watch your dog while you go to the doctor.”

We have and continue to follow recommendations and advice from the specialists and doctors who deal with ALS. To date we have been from UVM in Burlington to Mass General in Boston.  Also, Dartmouth, Rutland and Leahy Clinic in between.

We asked the question of why is this happening? Research has not settled on a definitive answer. 

When you come into town, the Killington sign says, “Heart of the Green Mountains.” To us, this is a very true statement.

Thank you and God bless,

Steve and Sheila Finneron, Killington

Although school consolidation and cost containment may appear fiscally responsible, both the Senate’s and the governor’s proposals provide only short-term budgetary solutions rather than…
