Author Robert F. Wilson has written 14 books and produced two instructional videos. He is president of Wilson McLeran, Inc., in Saxtons River, Vermont. Before spending two decades in career management, Wilson wrote and edited educational materials for McGraw-Hill, Houghton Mifflin, Scholastic, and Macmillan.He received his B.A. from the University of Illinois. His graduate work includes study at the University of Chicago, New York University, Columbia University, and Fairfield University. He is a member of The Authors Guild and the American Society of Journalists & Authors. Photographer Victoria Blewer left the chaos and clutter of New York City in 1986 to devote herself full time to fine art photography in the quiet hills of Vermont. She works entirely with black-and-white film, and then hand-colors the images. Her work has been featured in full-length photo essays in the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, Vermont Life, and Vermont Magazine.
Foreword writer Bernard "Bernie" Sanders has been the junior United States Senator from Vermont since 2006. Before becoming a senator, Sanders represented Vermont's at-large district in the U.S. House of Representatives for 15 years. In 2015, the Senator announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election. This undertaking has kept him a bit too busy to think about the Foreword for the 2nd edition of Vermont Curiosities, but not too busy to offer best wishes for its success until he has more time.
