Soon, nothing but cheese

RE: “Stretching to adapt in trying times” [News, Feb. 27]:

I cannot believe what is happening in the town of Grafton. I can understand change, but this new Windham Foundation regime is taking the town away from the people who made it thrive and made it interesting. Visitors and vacationers will always look for more to experience in this tiny village.

There will be nothing left but cheese, and I will not buy it at any place it is available outside of Vermont.

I am sure other frivolous items similarly available from the Vermont Country Store will soon be available in Grafton.

This change has been crude and with not much thought about the aftermath.

A few weeks ago, I went with my friend Stacey to pick up her daughter from school. As my friend's daughter, Elizabeth, and two of her friends, Sarah and Lydia, piled into the back seat, Stacey told her daughter that the stuff they'd ordered for her hair had come in the mail. Elizabeth excitedly opened the box, inspecting the contents. “Mmm, this smells good,” she said as she passed the bottle of hair product around for everyone to take note...
