Here's an interesting story sent by Andy Rudin.  We've all learned a thing or two about making do and recovery from disaster since the severe flooding last year.  It's great that we reach out to  refugees from countries all over the world; and now we have our own "refugees" who still need help.  Vermonters, even those who were not born here but choose to live here, are generally resourceful and independent.  However, we can all learn from others, and one thing catastrophes teach us is that we're all vulnerable and need to lean on others sometimes.  Thanks for sending that piece, Andy.
