Today I learned …

… Orson Bean, who I only know from 1970s game shows, is still alive, plus he's originally from revbobmont.

And Burlington no less. Also from Wikipedia:

...His father was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a fund-raiser for the Scottsboro Boys' defense, and a 20-year member of the campus police of Harvard College.[1] Among his other relatives is Calvin Coolidge...
An admirer of Laurel and Hardy, Bean, in 1964, served as a founding member of The Sons of the Desert, the international organization devoted to sharing information about the lives of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy and studying and enjoying their films...

Does Burlington have a statue of him?

No it isn't

But years ago friends of mine draped him in a rainbow cape and had him waving a banner flag that said "I fought for Women's Rights " or something along those lines.

So, Googling tells me it's some Civil War general I've never heard of. Do better, Vermont!

There's this too, but not in Burlington.

Civil War or AmRev?

Neither, Mormon. Joseph Smith was born in VT.

Bennington Battle Monument. Ive never actually seen it (nor been to Bennington). I also know nothing about the battle except that state workers get the day off.

Is that the tallest structure in Vermont? I seem to recall reading that the state has serious building restrictions.

The tallest thing that isn't a windmill or radio tower.

The good old days...when we'd build stone towers to commemorate stuff like battles. I thought it was a little funny when we visited Bunker Hill and one of the signs told about how the foundation that built the tower had to sell off most of the actual battlefield in order to build it.

I found this out because I was telling the Boss about an episode I recently saw where this woman is either really nervous or has ingested something.
