One of our favorite people, Kathy Derosier, is leaving Burdick's Cafe next Thursday after several years as the person who faithfully opened the doors each morning, prepared the coffee and croissants, and provided unfailing sunshine to all who came in. (The commute from Claremont, often beginning before dawn, has become too much, and the reality of another winter has persuaded her to move on.) Kathy's cheerful, thoughtful, and mature presence has been a source of refreshment and pleasure for Burdick's customers--and other employees--that will truly be missed. In addition, Kathy's imaginative and caleidoscopic flower arrangments on the center table of the restaurant have been works of art that all of us have enjoyed over the years. Be sure to stop in and say good-bye to Kathy over the next week! Chuck Bingaman
