Thank you, Cathy and Seven Days, for your piece about our son, Ben. He is sorely missed.

Re: “Diminishing Democracy? At Kirby Town Meeting, the 18 Percent Rule”
Offering a respectful counter to one of the closing points, we see that communities with strong pre-Town Meeting Day discussions on Front Porch Forum tend to draw MORE participation... not less. Talking about important local topics in the weeks leading up to Town Meeting increases engagement.
Town Meeting is a crucial part of Vermont's history, and should be an ever-more-important part of our future. Nothing beats face-to-face discussion.
