In this issue: We begin by featuring the future leaders of New Marlborough, if not the country or the world - that is, the graduates of 3rd Grade, New Marlborough Central School.

Also: Memorial Day, 2025; the continuing search for the place in town most suitable for our war veteran monuments; a look into the eclectic, joyful career of another New Marlborough artist, Robin Tost; a deep dive into the mountain lion conundrum; a look back at a significant moment in the history of Mill River sports - the ’74 Red Sox; an account of the superintendent of our school district’s decision to move on after an eight-year tenure; and there is more - see for yourself.
