I was one of Ian Van Blarcom's closest friends in childhood, and spent a lot of time in the V.B. household. Heather was quite simply one of the smartest people I ever met. I also "starred" opposite of her in the Stowe High School staging of "Our Town" (circa 1984)--I was George and she was Emily. I was slow to memorize my lines, and I will never forget the chewing out she gave me in rehearsal--and I thank her for that!
