Butch Varno Initiative gets a boost as SI re-runs Reilly column

Butch Varno Initiative gets a boost as SI re-runs Reilly column: “On March 16, 2007, the apartment that Butch Varno shared with his mother, Helen, was flooded in ankle-deep water. With help from Butch’s friends at Middlebury, the Varnos were able to find transitional housing, supported by the Middlebury Congregational Church. … The effort by his friends to help continues, with the Butch Varno Initiative.”
