Alan Lewis<p>KENNETH N. TONEY<br>Mastodon Post</p><p>Kenneth N. Toney obituary, Brattleboro, VT</p><p><a href="https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/kenneth-toney-obituary?id=54854476" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/</span><span class="invisible">kenneth-toney-obituary?id=54854476</span></a></p><p>While I never had the good fortune to know Kenneth Toney, I can say that a person who has been around Brattleboro for a long time ought to recognize his face in the obituary's illustration. He was all over town. His sister, Theresa Toney, who I did know, walked at a slow pace. Nonetheless, she covered a lot of ground. She was a character who many people will remember.</p><p>When I first moved to Brattleboro, Toney's Market, where Gouger's Market and Deli now resides, was a going concern. It was much more than just a neighborhood convenience store. The Toney family was a big part of old Brattleboro.</p><p>RiP</p><p>The attached elderly photograph, which was originally posted by the Brattleboro Historical Society, shows Toney's Market in a state of transition that may have been before my time here. I arrived in 1970. Decades later, the man in this photo lived next door to me.</p><p>:</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleboro</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborohistoricalsociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleborohistoricalsociety</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborohistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleborohistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gougersmarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gougersmarket</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/kennethntoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kennethntoney</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/kennethtoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kennethtoney</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/kentoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kentoney</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/theresatoney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theresatoney</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/toneyfamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toneyfamily</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/toneysmarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toneysmarket</span></a> </p><p>:::</p>
Alan Lewis<p>HILDA WEYL SOKOL, 1928-2022</p><p><a href="https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/vnews/name/hilda-sokol-obituary?id=38426284" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">legacy.com/us/obituaries/vnews</span><span class="invisible">/name/hilda-sokol-obituary?id=38426284</span></a></p><p>A 1981 symposium co-sponsored by Hilda Sokol of Dartmouth Medical School called to our attention, hereabouts, a sometimes neglected local hero, the Brattleboro Rat. The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious. We should raise a giant Brattleboro Rat statue in Pliny Park.</p><p>Brattleboro Rat Wikipedia short article</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brattleboro_rat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brattleb</span><span class="invisible">oro_rat</span></a></p><p>Many prestigious institutions and publications have posted learned articles about the Brattleboro Rat.</p><p>:</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleboro</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattleborohistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattleborohistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/brattlebororat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brattlebororat</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/clinicaldepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clinicaldepression</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/dartmouthmedicalschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dartmouthmedicalschool</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hildasokol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hildasokol</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdifferences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdifferences</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/learningdisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learningdisability</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/medicalresearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicalresearch</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/medicalscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicalscience</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/plinyparkbrattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>plinyparkbrattleboro</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/westbrattleboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>westbrattleboro</span></a> </p><p>:::</p>
