Last night Mary and I had the opportunity to attend a very nice Christmas Party hosted, at their home, by our good friends Dick and Noel Gluck. We had a great night out of the inn socializing with many of our good friends and customers from the Killington community.

In addition to the great food and libations supplied by Dick and Noel, the highlight of the evening was a Christmas Caroling session lead by Dr. George Lyons. George worked the piano with accompaniment by Rich Rzasa on guitar. To start of the caroling, guests were given copies of "Silent Night" in German to serenade long time Killington resident Walter Linnemayr.

Walter originally came to Killington as a ski instructor from Austria. Walter also has his own construction business and did much of the work over the years to remodel and expand Dick and Noel's home. Hence Mr. Gluck requested the caroling start with the german rendition of Silent Night in Walter's honor( also to help Walter brush up on his mother tongue).
