Yeah, Gibson’s Bookstore!!!!! A rainy night, mud by the front door–in the longest-running re-construction of a Main Street ever witnessed–and still a warm, receptive and enthusiastic audience!—two musical moms praising celebrated Concord Community Music School and their family of string players; a couple with a very long memory who came to hear the story behind the 2011 concert featuring the Hutchins Consort at St. Paul’s School; others less talkative but still engaged by the remarkable, and unlikely tale of Carleen Hutchins. A night at Gibson’s proved that community is both vitally real, and virtual at the same time! It is a marvel and a miracle that my son aboard a ship just off the coast somewhere near Bulgaria can tweet his mom’s book event in Concord, NH, and still manage to spur two old friends from two decades ago to drive from Henniker to Concord—the power of the love of friends, and the love of family—and friends that have become family!!!!!! Blessings to you, Jerry and Kathleen, for your generosity so many years ago in taking an interest in a 16-year-old seeking art, and now, in journeying to a bookstore on a dark rainy night just to reconnect! Gibson’s fosters community in books and books that bring community!
