Scott and Penny Wheeler of Derby and their family have become known for donating hundreds of hours each year hosting numerous history and culture events that celelbrate the Northeast Kingdom and its people. They, with the support of the Elks Lodge in Derby, also host one large statewide gathering each year dedicated to honoring veterans and their families. Their event in 2007 honored the men and women who served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The 2008 event paid respect to the men and women who served in World War II.
The Derby family has announced that their 2009 event will honor Vermont's Gold Star Families - families who have lost loved ones in war. This event, which will be open to all members of the public, will include family members of veterans who have died in all of America's conflicts, not just the current ones.
We'll keep people informed as the event takes shape. People with questions can email me at
