Arts Auction Benefit Dedicated To Marjory A. Cady
 Marjory (Marge) A. Cady, was a Middlebury College alumna of 1938, and moved back to Vermont in the 90s, after spending many years in California and then in Darien , CT. Married in 1938, she and her husband Howard, Middlebury class of 38, raised a family of five children. True to her belief, her curiosity about life stayed sharp and fresh, as she said during a high school graduation speech, “We can be grown-up three year olds.” While pursuing a career as a teacher of writing at the LHT school in Darien, she became a charter member of the Connecticut Writing Project. “Life is a gift and an adventure,” she said,” a treasure - each day we add to that treasure, and what we put in adds up to what we'll have when we are twenty, thirty, or fifty years old. Our treasure will be made up out of the richness of our efforts.” [ more ] Addison County Service 20th Hospice Volunteer Annual Arts Auction May 12th

By Ed Barna

Special town meetings in those communities--the only ones voting--immediately authorized the new district to go into action, according to Tom Vanacore of Bridport, chairman of the Joint Survey Committee that worked out the details.
