OTIS HEALTH CARE CENTER BOARD WELCOMES JANE ROBINSON

Wardsboro resident Jane Robinson has recently joined the Otis Health Care Center Board of Trustees. Jane is well known to many area residents and visitors, as former manager of the Newfane Branch of Chittenden Bank (formerly Vermont National Bank). Born in Barre, VT, Jane graduated from the Mary Hitchcock School of Nursing and worked at Bangor State Hospital in Maine for two years before moving to Vermont in 1965. She was the Town Clerk/Treasurer in Wardsboro for many years, before joining the bank. Now retired, Jane spends the summers at her home on Peacham Pond in northern Vermont.

Jane fills the vacancy created by the recent retirement of Lawrin Crispe from the OHCC Board of Trustees; Crispe will continue to serve on the Grace Cottage Foundation Board of Directors.

OHCC Board President Neil Pelsue praised Lawrin Crispe’s years of service on the board, stating: “The Crispe family legacy of support for Grace Cottage goes back at least to 1951, when Lawrin’s father, Luke, joined what then became a five-member board. Between them, Luke and Lawrin gave some 55 years of outstanding service to the growth and development of GCH/OHCC. The hospital has benefited greatly from their valuable legal advice and wise insights.” Thank you, Lawrin, and welcome, Jane!
