Re: “Pandemic Grounds Some Commercial Flights but F-35s Continue to Prowl Skies”
Imagine if instead of the F-35 mission the VTANG mission were a medical one. They could be collecting and distributing much-needed equipment and supplies and actually doing some good at this time. There would also be more jobs for the VTANG! Instead they are blasting the skies, wasting millions/billions of tax dollars that are needed for this crisis. Every time I hear those planes these days it makes my blood boil. I cannot adequately express my anger and rage at the politicians who made the F-35 boondoggle happen and continue to support it and the systems that allowed it.

Thank you, Eva -- this is such a beautiful portrait! What an inspiration your mom is, and what an amazing life she has led. And now learning Chinese! Thanks for sharing your love with us. I'm going to share this on the Cathedral Square Facebook page and get it out by Twitter as well. I know it will brighten these gloomy days for so many folks. xo

Re: “Obituary: Angelina "Angie" Catanese Routly, 1926-2020”
What an amazing life story and a beautiful tribute, Paula. You were so lucky to share such love, obvious every time you spoke of your mom and all you did to help her and bring her to Vermont to be with you. I’m so sorry for your loss but hope you find comfort knowing you helped her leave this life peacefully and filled with love.
