BRATTLEBORO — I'm so sad about the passing of Kathy LeBlanc, who worked at Brown and Roberts Hardware as long as I've been in this area.
I only knew her through the store, but her patient help and great wit were things I always looked forward to when I went in.
It's people like her that make our town such a wonderful place to be, and I'm going to miss her every time I go in, which tends to be at least three times a week these days.
What a loss to Brattleboro.

"Caring for this community is far more important than anything else," she said. Jerome opened the meeting by solemnly reading the names of the 59...

Articles must be passed by both towns in order to move forward and will be decided by Australian ballot, rather than by discussion and voice vote at Town Meeting (because the purchase involves funding through a bond). After attending a...
