Van Barens

I spent an afternoon in Woodstock the other day. On my way into Bread Alone for some of their good coffee, I heard a familiar voice: "Van" Van Baren, former FV staffer and long-time neighbor along the Frost Valley-Oliverea-Big Indian Road, was setting up a table in the outdoor market there to sell bottle of his fabulous maple syrup. Later Kate Van Baren joined him and I got a chance to catch up with them. Wonderful people. They look good in the selfies. I don't. But oh well.
