Being members of the Last Green Valley, we find that the article does not offer equality to the entire region. We being from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in support of the ENTIRE HERITAGE CORRIDOR, find it rather sad that an article in this magazine either did not listen to/or decide not to bother with a portion of the corridor that is in another State. Is there a specific reason for punishing the members of The Last Green Valley that are in Massachusetts or is there going to be a follow up piece to allow all to try a "taste" of the "rest of The Last Green Valley"?

The whole point of the area is not its commercial base, but the beauty of the rolling hills and orchards and old homes and lack of commericalization. In terms of history, you forgot to mention Old Trinity Church in Brooklyn, one of the oldest standing Episcopal churches in New England and open for summer tours. The area around the Golden Lamb in Brooklyn is one of the most scenic and beautiful, yet that was not well stated. Who cares if Roger Clemons went there? How about the beautiful farm and the acres of pasture and woodlands? The Episcopal church in Pomfret, CT near the two prep schools had Tiffany windows...another fact that was not mentioned. While you did highlight some central items, you also missed a lot.
