This is a wonderful story, and neat that it has been picked up nationally. It’s also one that makes me say “hmmm” … maybe I’m investing wrong. Dummerston is the next town over, and the hospital and library are both in Brattleboro. It’s the biggest gift either institution has ever received.

update 2/25/15: And I’m so sorry I missed “word-burning stove” and promise to do better in future. Just goes to show that big money can blind you to what’s important.
