Super Senior: Tom Hart
By Joe Carroll
A very powerful man lives in Vermont. It’s true. He doesn’t hold office or run companies, but Tom Hart has inspired hundred in the gym and in the classroom. He’s this week’s Super Senior.
Just above the town of Hinesburg, Tom Hart has 15 acres of serenity. “You come up here and it’s like you close the door to the world,” Tom said. He loves working on his property, especially chopping and stacking wood.
