Your writing has made me interested in visiting Mt Greylock – you made it sound so beautiful. Yet the story of the airplane crash reminds me how merciless Mother Nature can be.

Nick, Your old neighbors, the Doherty’s, were having a heated discussion about this very issue ( the Lee statue) last night. We did not know you had a framed picture of Lee in your home!
I love how you posed this ” musing” and your thought process. Well said all around!! Please keep writing! We need your voice now more than ever!!
