Charlotte Snyder - Circulation Manager
Charlotte rides herd on our subscriber database and sees that your orders are shipped. She came to Brattleboro in
1970 with the "hopeful commune migration" and stayed on after
most of her compatriots turned tail during the first winter (10
foot drifts, worst winter in 50 years, natives delighting in telling
us it'd been known to snow in June!) She has been a candle maker,
a natural foods chef, and a Montessori teaching assistant. Before
coming to EBN, Charlotte also did paste-up (at the tail end of
the post-neolithic age of waxing) for a local book design and
typesetting company. She loves singing and does so as
often as possible with her church choir and two of the area's
excellent local choruses.
