Driving up Rte. 2 from Richmond to Williston yesterday afternoon, I saw a WCAX van pulled over on the side of the road. An auto parts delivery car was stuck headfirst in the snow. The Good Samaritan trying to push the car out of the snowbank was none other than reporter and former Douglas administration official Anson Tebbetts! I offered to help but the driver decided he would just call a wrecker. Where else but Vermont can you get stuck in the snow and have a news reporter try to push you out? Shades of July 7, 1984, the day of the Amtrak train accident, when reporter Michael Gilhooley put down his notebook and picked up the end of an ambulance stretcher.
