I walked into Trout River Traders (a country store in Montgomery, Vermont) in 2006 and talked to the owner about barnboard frames that he had hanging up. I told him I wanted the frames for pictures I had just taken on a trip to Wyoming. He let me know about the photographer who made the frames and said that he would give him my number. Cut to a few months later and Lenny finally calls me about making some frames! We met at Trout River Traders soon after to talk about the frames and we chatted over coffee. After coffee we took our dogs to a swimming hole and then ended up going out to dinner. We spent the whole entire day together talking...not hard for Lenny to do since he likes to talk so much! I took it as a sign when I met him that he pulled up with a Bernese Mountain Dog (Monty). I had just gotten back from a breeder looking at the same exact dog. There were too many synchronicities. Life has taken us from Montgomery to Stowe, VT, to Burlington, VT to Westport, CT, grad school in Syracuse and finally to Charlotte, Vermont. It's been a wild ride full of many adventures and a lot of love. We are so very thankful that all of you will be sharing this day with us.
