We just learned of the death of Marie Kellogg (Birch Bound Rd).  Marie and her late husband, George, enjoyed many summers at Joe's Pond with their family.  She was 95.  Our deepest sympathy goes to her family, James and his wife, Lori, of St. Johnsury and his two sisters, Kerry Labombard of Arizona and Pamela Showalter of Texas and their respective families.  Marie was a dynamo of energy for many years in St. Johnsbury, and she will be missed.

Joe's Ponders will be interested that John and Jeannette Deforge have sold their cottage on Barre Avenue.  Mark and Heidi Gerrish, of Williamstown are the new owners, and Mark told me they are excited to be at Joe's Pond.  We are happy to welcome them to JPA!
