  • Brickyards and Frameworks: a Retrospectus and Prospectus on Vermont History Writing
    Brickyards and Frameworks: A Retrospectus and Prospectus on Vermont History Writing Under the stimulus of the breakup of some old models of national, state, and local history, and armed with a panoply of new methods and models for dissecting our past, we have assembled a brickyard of small studies. Many of these reveal small gems of new insight about the lives of individuals, the look of communities, and the operation of institutions in our immediate neighborhood or region. Some new ideas about Vermont’s history lie among the bricks, but we may lack any common agreement on what the final product is supposed to look like. By Michael Sherman Bassett’s Bibliography (1981) ust over two decades ago, Tom Bassett did what I have been asked to do for this symposium: to take a reading on what has Jbeen accomplished in Vermont history and assess future needs and directions.

  • Lucky's Dream
    LUCKY’S DREAM LUCKY’S DREAM A ovel by Butch Mandatta Ponzio For Robert A. Clark, Jr. (1943 — 1998) On the night I turned 50 years old, I awoke from a startling dream, one that rocked me awake with its intensity, demanding my full attention. In the dream I was a criminal defense investigator once more, sitting in a Vermont courtroom at the defendant’s table, beating out a rhythm to which my homicide client — who up to this point had been mute with fear — began rapping his story. As he wove his captivating tale, the courtroom was stunned into silence. Lucky’s Dream is that tale told as a crime novel in the tradition of Leonard Elmore. As such it entertains and titillates, yet unexpectedly moves to deeper levels for two reasons: first, because of a series of myths mysteriously woven into the story, and, second, because of the American Buddhist teachings of a principal character. The story itself revolves around the flight from Vermont by Jimmy St. John, a public defense investigator whose fledgling love affair with his married boss has gone awry. Fleeing her house during the first snowstorm of the season, St. John rescues Lucky, his new homicide client, from a wrecked sheriff’s car, discovering in the process that the police had tortured Lucky. Accompanying the fugitives is St. John’s closest friend Odysea, who is traveling to the deathbed of her first woman lover. During their three-day journey to the Hill Country of Texas, these unusual characters share their secret pasts, providing insider looks into such diverse subcultures as sixties revolutionaries, nineties lap dancers, millennial lesbians.

His compelling personal story and the richness of his curriculum convinced us he should apply to VCTF for a grant. VCTF is about prevention and Sam’s program is prevention at its best. Building awareness, instilling empathy and encouraging openness among students, the program works toward increasing acceptance and diminishing bullying and isolation. Everybody wants to feel included. Unfortunately, students with disabilities are two to three times more likely to be bullied than their non-disabled peers. People with disabilities are more a part of society today than ever before. Teachers are expected to create inclusive classroom communities with a diverse student body. Many teachers and parents need guidance when discussing disabilities with children. Awareness is the foundation to empathy. For students to achieve a greater sense of empathy, they must first develop an awareness of differences and have supportive adults who can facilitate safe and meaningful discussions. ABOUT SAM: Sam, a native Vermonter and former elementary educator, was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome - resulting in both facial anomaly and hearing loss. Sam underwent seven Thanks in part to your support, 22 schools throughout surgeries as a child while attending his local public school.

  • Finding Aid Billings Family Archives
    Finding Aid Billings Family Archives 1780-2004 (Bulk dates 1860-1950) Woodstock Foundation Catalog Number: 2004.003 Prepared by Marianne C. Zephir May 2014 Revised January 2017 Billings Family Archives, Acc. 2004.003 Finding Aid January 1, 2017 Biographical History: The Billings Family Archives were created by Frederick and Julia Billings and successive generations of the Billings family. The collection of manuscripts, photographs, and architectural drawings provide a rich source of information about the family's personal and business interests, and their domestic, social, and philanthropic activities. Frederick Billings (1823-1890), born in Royalton, Vermont, moved to Woodstock with his family in 1835. He was the fourth of Oel and Sophia Billings' nine children. He attended the University of Vermont, studied law, and would eventually travel to California during the gold rush where he made his fortune as a lawyer, land developer and railroad tycoon. He became very wealthy, traveled widely, but always considered Woodstock his home. In 1862, Frederick met and married Julia Parmly (1835-1914). Julia, born and raised in New York City, was the daughter of prominent New York dentist, Dr. Eleazar Parmly and Anna Maria Valk Smith Parmly. Julia was educated at a series of private day academies in New York, and traveled extensively throughout her life. Frederick purchased their Woodstock home in 1869. Frederick and Julia Billings had seven children. They raised their family in Woodstock and after 1881, the family split their time between Woodstock and a townhouse on Madison Avenue in New York City. Their children were educated by governesses at home, attended private schools and universities, traveled widely, and enjoyed the typical social and cultural activities of upper class society.
