Celebrating the Inauguration

Falls Villagers Zoe Fedorjaczenko and Mary Elling (and their husbands George and Sergei) were among the 600 ecstatic people who watched the inauguration at the Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington.

Be A Hero; Thank A Hero

To quote my friend Mary Elling: "UNBELIEVABLE---the time and money volunteers (aka good people) spend to save strangers' lives.Forgetting my aversion, dread, etc. of blood, etc-----I could never commit so much time, THANK YOU--FVFD!!!!!!!
