The Proprietors:  
Karen & Peter Bennett
Karen was living in Nairobi and working in Sudan.  Peter was living in
Vermont.  They met on a Greek island.  A year later, they got married in
California.  Wow.  The gods must have had a hand in it.  Now they run a little
unassuming B&B and restaurant in rural Vermont...together.  They are glad
to be on the same continent.  Karen's mother wondered if her daughter, with
3 university degrees, would be happy baking baguettes in New England.  What
do you think?  She looks pretty happy, eh?
