Stratton Magazine SUMMER/FALL 2020 | Page 10

FROM THE PUBLISHER COURTESY THE LANDMARK TRUST USA One of the greatest joys in life is “discovery”. Whether it is finding a new restaurant or taking a new bike trail, a critical component is the thrill of exploration and the discovery of something new. But what about the joy of “rediscovery”? Revisiting a great book, going to an old hangout, or seeing an old friend can provide countless unanticipated pleasures. In assembling this issue of STRATTON Magazine, I found myself genuinely excited. After being cooped-up for months, it was exhilarating to rediscover the businesses that are the foundation of our community and to be reminded of the people and places that make Southern Vermont so special. I hope you are all safe and well. And I hope these pages help you rediscover the beauty that is Southern Vermont! 8 STRATTON MAGAZINE | STRATTONMAGAZINE.COM -Joshua
