Have you often wondered who the gentleman is who yearly takes the time and effort to pick up all the trash strewn along the West Lebanon Road by other littering citizens?

WONDER NO LONGER!

Let me introduce you to Henry Laviolette, a Lebanon resident for 53 years.

Yearly you will find Henry laboriously walking from his residence to Route 202 picking up all sorts of debris, bagging same and hauling to the transfer station.  Many of you will scoff and say, so what!
