Finally in Vermont !

After four days of travel, I arrived in Vermont on the fifth morning, crossing from Whitehall, New York, to Rutland, Vermont in the Green Mountains this morning.


Before heading to Norwich University for my residency conference, I stopped at the Calvin Coolidge Historic Site in Plymouth Notch to see the small town where Coolidge took the oath of office after learning of the death of President Warren Harding in San Francisco.  Coolidge won a term as chief executive in his own right, and he presided over much of the "Roaring Twenties" from the White House.  Not far from the home site is the community's cemetery, where Coolidge is buried.

Here are some shots of the Green Mountains...

I arrived at Norwich around 3 p.m.  After registration, I unpacked at my dorm in a steady rain, then went to supper.  Afterwards, the school administration hosted a reception in a big armory (it's a school with a military tradition), and several administrators gave inspiring talks.  No good pics of Norwich so far; the weather was too dreary.
