The Montpelier Historical Society presents an important public forum:
"The Golden Age of Vermont State News Coverage"

Chris Graff
Former Montpelier Bureau Chief for the Associated Press
Diane Derby
Former reporter for the Burlington Free Press, Times Argus and Rutland Herald and congressional aide
Peter Martin

Managing Editor, Rutland Herald
