This page is a response to an article published in the Vermont Standard August 31, 2017.  The article was about a property on Old River Road in Woodstock, Vermont that belonged to Peggy and Lou Kannenstine and recently sold. Shortly after it was sold the new owners quickly went to work cutting down trees, demolishing the Kannenstine's house, stone walls I rebuilt, and regrading a large field. (The new owners did donate items from the house to those in need.) The reason for this response is to defend myself and my work. One of the new owners said, " the wall across the road was no longer structurally sound." It was structurally sound. These are some photos of what it looked like before demolition, what it looks like now, and a link to a copy of a letter to the editor. Please scroll down to view all of the photos.
