We just learned that Garey Larrabee's sister, Shirley Brochu, died. We don't have details, but as soon as we do, I'll post them. Garey very recently lost a brother, Jim Larrabee. Our thoughts are with Garey and his family.

I'm also sad to report that long-time Joe's Pond Association member, Paul J. Shadroui, of Narrows Drive Joe's Pond and Barre, Vermont, passed away in June. He was 93. He was predeceased in 1984 by his wife, Madeleine (Romanos), as well as seven brothers and sisters. He is survived by a brother, Richard Shadroui of Barre, four children: Paula Frost of Richmond, Vt.; Marianna and Paul Boivin of Addison, Vermont, Joseph of Charlestown, MA, and Maggie and Stephen Sawyer of Vergennes; and many nieces, nephews and exptended family. We will miss Paul and extend condolences to his family and friends.
