Roots in the Land

Generations of mentorship

Jim McCullough, Vermont State Representative, started skipping school in third grade.

"We used to have to walk down to the corner to catch the bus," said Jim, "which was a perfect opportunity to just never show up at the bus. Parents didn’t know because they saw me leave, and then I’d come back at the end of the day."

Jim started putting down roots into the land during those young days, the same land that he and Lucy would raise children on and devote the rest of their lives to.
