We got very sad news this morning. We learned that our good friend and neighbor Francis Churchill had a massive stroke whie he was running this morning.. and is not goign to survice.

Francis has been such a great friend to us and everyone in our town, he brught us fresh muffins  several times after sam died. He’s always there  to help neighbors.. cut down fallen trees, land trust stuff. 
Francis worked at UVM as the environmental health guy and both Gabe and I interacted  with him at UVM over the years. 
He is actually the guy who built the trail that we all run on. many days a week. .. that trail is where he had his last run.  

We cant believe this has happened. ,. we will always think of him..   He’ll always be on that trail for me. 

nite all, nite sam
