Dear Editor,
In my years of working in Killington and cultivating business
relationships, I have also had the pleasure of meeting some people
in the course doing business here who I come to admire and respect,
one such person is Whit Montgomery. I have known the Montgomery
family through Whit's dad Bob for over 12 years and know that they
are a well respected family in our town. Whit, being in law
enforcement, always maintained a high level of professionalism and
familiarity while being accessible and friendly.
But it was during my organizing of the "Concert for Killington
Area" in the weeks and months following Irene that Whit showed up
on my radar. His "can do" attitude and "I'll take care of that for
you" was a real help to making the event run smoothly. His presence
lent an air of legitimacy to the event that I appreciated very
much.
In the subsequent time lapsed since that event, I have seen Whit
around town in his civilian clothes supporting and giving a quiet
integrity to other worthwhile causes. I also have recently had a
fan of mine involved in a minor traffic accident in Killington
comment how kind, and understanding that "police officer" was, and
upon looking at the accident report I was not surprised to
see the name Whit Montgomery.
I highly recommend Whit Montgomery to be voted in as Killington
First Constable, and I encourage all my friends here in town to
support his candidicy.
