Don Keelan: Vermont institutions are disappearing

This commentary is by Don Keelan of Arlington, a retired certified public accountant.
There seems to be a rash of closings of Vermont’s longtime institutions. The latest is in Plainfield, where it was announced that the nearly 90-year-old Goddard College will close at the end of the semester. Other institutions, such as churches, stores, fire/rescue facilities, schools and companies, are closing, too. Organizations are operating at or close to the margin of being unable to exist &mda
