John Bye has lived in rural western Massachusetts for more than 30 years. In a divided time, this podcast documents his search for common ground among those who live…In These Hills.
In this episode John talks with Brenda Arbib. Forty years ago, Brenda and her husband Bob landed on Main Street – across the street from the Village Church and a short walk from the town school. Little did she know how deeply her life would be enriched by the vital energy of both institutions. Hear her remember the people who welcomed her to town… and mentored her in the ways of small town life. Much has changed in those 40 years, but her love for the community carries on undiminished.
