Rod Gander's memorial service next month

Former state senator Rod Gander died early this week after a battle against cancer that lasted several years.

His election to the Vermont Senate representing Windham County was one of the first political stories I remember covering in Vermont, soon after I joined the staff of the Brattleboro Reformer in late 2002.

Gander had an illustrious career in the news business and could spin tales for hours. After that he became the well-liked president of Marlboro College before finally entering politics in the last decade. And whether or not you agreed with his positions, he talked from the heart. I'll miss chatting with him.

Gander's memorial service will be held on Oct. 20 at West Village Meeting House in West Brattleboro at 3:30 p.m.
