Comment	[] First BBC in VT [] Irasburg VT [population 2000 about 1100] is in northern Vermont, about 15 miles from the Canadian border. [] Among the club's eight officers, two are listed as "Talleymen" and two as umpires. Do we know what role talleymen played? (Tally recorders, perhaps?) Edit with form to add a comment
