When he wasn't engaged in his studies or outdoor activities, Brian spent many years working at Reid's in Lockport, New York, where he was well known and loved by his colleagues and customers at his job. After high school, Brian pursued higher education at Norwich University in Vermont, where he graduated in 1984 with dual Bachelor of Science degrees in business administration. During his time at Norwich, he was a member of the economic honor society, Omicron Delta Epsilon, and frequently enjoyed hitting the ski slopes, often at times with his family and friends. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on March 22, 1985, and served until he was honorably discharged on February 29, 1996. Brian received the Southwest Asia Service Medal with Bronze Star, the Kuwait Liberation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon.

He cherished relaxing by the shores of Lake Ontario, where he could even occasionally be found water skiing or playing badminton. Aside from his sporting activities, Brian immensely enjoyed digging his nose into a good book and getting lost in thought. His greatest joy, however, came from the time he spent time with his family, including his two dogs, Charlie and Jasper. Brian's gentle spirit extended beyond his family to the many causes he supported, including his long-time contributions to Lab Rescue, reflecting much of his mothers' deep compassion for animals. Brian is survived by his children, Adam Brian Hutchins of Waldorf, Maryland, and Sara Gayle Hutchins of Chesapeake, Virginia; and his siblings, Jeffrey Charles Hutchins of Oxnard, California, and David Bradley Hutchins of Frisco, Texas.

In Memoriam	Addison D. Minott	9/1/2024
Addison Minott, age 94, of Guilford, Vermont died at Dartmouth Medical Center, Lebanon, NH on Sunday, Sept. 1, 2024 with his family by his side. Addison was born in Montpelier, Vermont to Dr. Chauncey Hunt and Dorothy Flora (Badger) Minott. He spent his early years in Montpelier and then in 1944 his family moved to Brattleboro. Addison graduated from Brattleboro High School in 1948 and Norwich University, graduating with a BS in Civil Engineering in 1952 as a Distinguished Military Graduate. Addison married Adelaide Warner, of Guilford, Vermont, September 5, 1953 in Essex, Connecticut. They met at a square dance at the Grange in Guilford Center. They would have celebrated their 71st anniversary this month. Addison had a memorable history on the ski slopes. He started as a little boy skiing on pine skis with a jar rubber behind the heel at his grandfather's house on Elm Street and Hubbard Park in Montpelier. When he moved to Brattleboro he purchased a new pair of downhill skis with steel edges and rear steel spring cable bindings, and a former world class jumper gave him a used pair of jumping skis. At that time Brattleboro High School had no organized ski team so he joined the Brattleboro Outing Club which sponsored him with racing and ski jumping. Addison became a member of the Outing Club Junior Jumping Team, competing in events all over the Northeast. He started jumping at Harris Hill in 1947. His mother refused to attend the jumps out of fear of seeing him hurt. Addison said his only injury was a broken nose from overjumping the hill. Although he loved the thrill of ski jumping, he was especially skilled in the alpine events, particularly slalom. Addison won the BOC Skimeister Four Event Trophy three years in a row and was invited to the New England Junior Championships, winning the event in 1948, (then not medaling when it was determined he was over age by a few weeks), then asked to represent Vermont at the National Junior Championships in Boise, Idaho. Much to everyone's disappointment BHS turned down his request for absence from school. Pressure was applied by the BOC board of directors and friends of skiing in the area, to no avail. Addison continued skiing for the Norwich varsity ski team competing in collegiate alpine and nordic events serving as Captain for his Senior year earning a Class A Eastern Amateur Ski Assn. rating. He also participated in Mountain and Winter Warfare exercises as a Cadet. Just prior to the Olympic tryouts at Mt. Mansfield, he tore his achilles tendon. After graduation he received his Reserve Commission from General Omar Bradley as Second Lieutenant in the Army Reserve. Soon after he reported to active duty at Fort Belvoir, Virginia for the Advanced Engineer Officer Course at The Engineer School. After the Advanced Engineer Course he was ordered to the Corp of Engineers, Northeast district in New York City. Addison was assigned to work on snow mechanics for the construction of the Strategic Air Command base in Thule, Greenland. Project "Dogsled" was to determine the feasibility of constructing roads and radar stations on the icecap. Addison supervised airdrops from C119 Flying BoxCars to construct two radar bases on the icecap. He survived multiple close calls from flying in whiteout storms, emergency landings and helicopter rescues at high elevation with temperatures regularly in the minus twenties. One particular storm prevented him leaving, causing him to postpone his wedding, for which he often apologized to Addie. In 1954 he received his "Blue Nose Certificate" for serving north of the Arctic Circle at the rank of First Lieutenant transferring into the Army Reserve as a Commissioned Officer. While serving at the USAR Center Ready Reserve Unit, Addison worked as project engineer for numerous construction projects which included construction of bridges and paving on the Maine and Massachusetts Turnpikes and Interstate 91. While serving the Corps of Engineers in Springfield, MA he was involved in the construction of several flood control dams and flood damage rehabilitation. In 1980, Addison finished his career in the Active Reserves in Waltham, Mass. at the rank of Major. Addison worked in Springfield, VT for Dufresne & Henry Engineering as Chief Design Engineer, and later with the Cersosimo family, founding Southern Vermont Engineering in Brattleboro, retiring as general manager in 1987. Addison served on the Vermont Board of Land Surveyors and held License #2 from the Vermont Society of Surveyors. Retirement meant time to travel to Florida for warmer weather in winter and multiple trips west to fly fish in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and visits with a cousin in Lake Tahoe. About this time he and Addie were bitten by the "genealogy bug" and became historians, especially for Vermont History. Addison was a proud eighth generation Vermonter starting with Deacon Samuel Minott at Fort Hill in Putney. While Addison served on the Board of Directors for the Vermont Historical Society he and Addie helped manage and organize the Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge. For ten years they made sure the flyers went to every town, camped out next to the fairgrounds and supervised the tents and exhibit halls until the Historical Society no longer held the Expo. They maintained ties and memberships with many of the state's Historical Societies. Later years were spent on the farm in Green River, where Addie grew up. Sugaring, large gardens, heating with wood and mowing and taking loving care of the family property. Addison and Addie were involved in the founding of the Green River Village Preservation Trust. Addison spearheaded the construction of the fish-way and put his engineering skills to good use maintaining the historic crib dam. They treasured their Green River neighbors and friends of many years. Addison was a devoted husband to Addie who predeceased him in May 2023. Addison is survived by his four children, Celia Adelaide Minott Slason and her husband Lawrence of Keene, NH, Priscilla Hunt Minott Demovellan and her husband Lorenzo of Westwood, MA, Addison Dean Minott, Jr and his wife Marcia of North Andover, MA., Christopher Milne Minott and his wife Karrin of Washington, DC.
