The author of the VT Digger op-ed listed in yesterday’s VT Watercooler is Ann Watson, a Putney-born librarian, not Anne Watson, the mayor of Montpelier who was raised in Chittenden County. Apologies and regrets to all, and we’ll try to pay better attention! – Editor

PS – how life imitates art! There’s a French absurdist play by Ionesco – “Rhinoceros,” I think – in which two characters constantly misidentify someone named “Bobby Watson.” This mistake is especially embarrassing because Vermont Daily Chronicle today carries a news story reporting about how the state police misidentified a suspect. No-one is immune.
