From the Desk of Joshua Sherman , M . D .
When we set out to create this issue of VERMONT Magazine , we didn ’ t have a specific theme in mind .
However , in reviewing the articles and readying the compiled magazine for publication , it seems “ Innovation ” is a common thread .
Whether it is reading about Ebenezer Allen and the Green Mountain Boys ’ revolutionary ideas over 200 years ago ( page 16 ) – or a candid conversation with our newly-elected Lieutenant Governor , Molly Gray ( page 30 ) – “ forward-thinking ” certainly emerges as a shared belief among Vermont ’ s leaders .
It is also true of Vermont ’ s businesses , such as SKIDA ( page 4 ), Burlington Record Plant ( page 10 ), and Mad River Rocket ( page 40 ).
Even the “ home feature ” in this issue ( page 64 ) showcases a fresh idea on pre-fabricated housing , courtesy of Silver Maple Construction .
As we welcome 2021 with open arms , let ’ s celebrate Vermont ’ s independent spirit – and innovation !
