Brattleboro

I'm going to Newport.

I'm going to Brattleboro.

Like, towns are bearing the brunt of so much of this and not feeling like they're getting the kind of state support that they need in this moment and so I think it's fair right like for for cities and municipalities to be wanting a little bit more state support to try to navigate this this housing crisis

All right, Amanda, we are out of time, so let's put a boa on this thing.

Pull yourself away from the vacuous social media experience that I know many of you regret once you get lost in it for minutes, if not hours at a time, and settle in for high-quality PW Torch-branded wrestling coverage.

Let's take our first phone call here, and we'll go to Nick in Brattleboro.

Nick, one of our regulars, welcome.

What stood out on Raw tonight for you?

It's a long time to sit in a state Senate to do that work alone.

Can you take us back to sort of, was there a moment when you said, I think I'm going to run for elective office when you were down in Brattleboro talking to your family?

Yeah.

So we actually have to go back much, much farther than that, honestly.

And I said, well, actually, you know, I'm not armored up because I don't believe in armoring up, but I definitely have a steel spine and I definitely have to put my game face on.

And, you know, I. I desperately want Vermonters to still absolutely recognize the person who I was as a teacher and as a state senator.

Some of the hardest things for me is when I was at the Price Shopper the other day in Brattleboro, and I could see this woman out of the corner of my eye.

And And I just did a like, hey, you know, how's it going? She's like, I mean, you're just like doing normal things.

It's tough.

I used to live across about 10 miles south in Massachusetts, south of Brattleboro.

And I remember when it was all people like you and George Aiken.

John.

It's known for that sort of.

to have that kind of courts, right? I just, it makes me wonder when I hear things like that in Brattle, what is it? Brattleboro, Vermont.

I think it's just, I think everybody's got their little town room or like that.

And if you look into it, I think you're going to find something.

The couple honeymooned in the United States for a time and went on to Japan, where they received news that their bank had collapsed and taken much of their fortune with it.

They returned to the States, Carrie's home country, purchased a home near her family in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Carrie Kipling discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to the couple's first child, Josephine, on December 29, 1892.

In his biography, Kipling wrote that his daughter was born in three foot of snow on the night of 29 December, 1892.
