BRATTLEBORO-I have known David Gartenstein since he first returned to Brattleboro after finishing law school at Columbia. We were introduced by my husband, who had worked with him in the kitchen of the Common Ground and then alongside him on the faculty of Landmark College.
David's innate wisdom, knowledge, experience, insightfulness, fairmindedness, and altruism have been invaluable to me (and the community) for decades. Over the years, he has been a trusted advisor and friend, always available and accessible, always 100% honest and invariably right on target.
When it has counted most, David has always given me the precisely right answer to any question I have thrown at him. He is so sharp and so astute that he often states the answer well before I even finish the question. And he has never steered me wrong.
When it comes to decision making, David quickly weighs pros and cons to come up with the perfect and most just solution. He is never distracted by red herrings and has never been one to waste time or money. He cuts to the chase.
