Taking a break on the banks of the White River

  • Phil Mulvey, of Newport, stretches his neck during lunch break from painting a house with his son Kayin, 17, left, on the bank of the White River in West Hartford, Vt., on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022. Each day for the last week they have eaten sandwiches before adding a few stones to a cairn at the water’s edge. “It’s hard to find a comfortable environment to work in,” said Phil Mulvey. He tried food service work between painting jobs over the years, but said he found it difficult to interact with the public. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
