I couldn't believe it when I saw about Chip. We were friends from way back in the 70's when we worked at Bennington College and had great adventures together. He was a great friend that would do anything to help you.

After talking a bit, I told him he looked familiar to me. Started to ask "if he knew", and come to find out, we did know each other, worked with each other back in the 70's at the Villager in North Bennington. We laughed remembering people, things and we talked more about...
