posted December 13, 2021I remember Kathy when she worked at Fathers Restaurant. My husband and I were new to the area and Kathy helped us find whatever we needed at the time. She was so friendly and welcoming and I thought the hardest worker I knew up in VT. You were a good girl Kathy and I will always remember you fondly.
