I am overwhelmed and filled with gratitude for the honor of being inducted into the North country brewing Company‘s lifetime mug club membership. I wasn’t planning on being in town for the annual mug club party. However they told me I needed to be here and I rearranged my trip. It was absolutely the right thing to do and there was no question about being here today. Bob McCafferty has done so much for the community in the state. He is active politically and socially. Bob and Jodi truly care about the community and are always active within it. I truly had no idea what to expect, just that I needed to be there. I am grateful for all the years of friendship, working with Bob and enjoying an occasional beer as well. Congratulations also to JD Longo and Rob Adams for their induction. There are so many good people in our community, doing great things for those around us. It is truly an honor to be inducted and a member of this fine group.
