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

Dear Editor, I’m writing to support of Steve Radonis’s bid for Windsor’s 5th district state rep. And as a 74-year-old Connecticut resident and life-long (so far!) registered Democrat, that’s pretty much all I can do because out-of-state homeowners in Vermont cannot vote in local elections, one of a few issues on which Radonis and I…

Dear Editor, In his Aug. 28, 2024, Mountain Times letter “Response to Republican choice,” Mr. George de Luna states rather oddly that “Most of his [Trump’s] ‘lies’ are exaggerations but are in the same direction of the truth.”  Actual journalists disagree.  In their Jan. 24, 2021, Washington Post article “Trump’s false or misleading claims total…

Dear Editor, Thank you to so many who celebrated the life of Erica Hurd last month on the Pittsfield Green.  Like her, it was beautiful in so many ways. She brought us together again to share our love, stories, food, music, tears and laughter. And lots of purple. The support of so many — family,…
