Jim Hutchinson Has Passed Away

I just learned that Jim Hutchinson, the race director for the Vermont 100, has died. I didn't know him well, but I distinctly remember that each time he handed me my buckle for the past two years, he met my smile with one just as big. You could tell he really enjoyed putting on the event, and all proceeds from the race went to a good cause, Vermont Adapative Ski & Sports. I've heard a lot of great things about him, and this is obviously really sad news.
