More than “the good old days,” destined only for the memoir and history-buff markets;  more than the “community-building” market to describe America’s fall from working and playing together books, Landmark Memories tells stories, vignettes, really, of a Vermont village. Describing the school, the library, Main Street, and more with an array of people from the town’s iceman, teacher, neighbor, village worker, and kids living and playing together, focused on the 1930s and 1940s. The time when Americans naturally lived and cared together in village life. These are the togetherness stories that people around the globe are now dreaming about from their isolation in our pandemic times. Stories about family, friends, and community, as they search for wholeness as never before, dreaming of America’s best democracy.
