So sorry to hear of your loss, Art.

I admired Laurie and she inspired me. Her contributions to education and educators in Vermont are incalculable. David Giguere Vermont NEA Washington County Director in the 1990s

As you know, Art, Laurie was one of a kind. I appreciated her sense of humor, forthright advice, and dedication to the leaders and members of VT-NEA. She had an uncanny way of helping leaders solve problems during a bargaining crisis and was always ready to help resolve the issues at hand. The two of you made a great team with you as a photographer and Laurie as the editor/ writer of VT-NEA Today. Her can do spirit inspired us all.

Our fond memories of Laurie go back to the early seventies when she worked in our family restaurant, Alfonso's, in Burlington. She was one hard working and very dedicated employee. Laurie was loved by all and became a dear friend of my family and customers too.

You will live in all our hearts. RIP ♀.
