Next in the Making a life in Addison County series, we profile Maurice Bissonnette, a 25-year-old who has lived in Vermont nearly all his life. He did attend art school in Boston after graduating from Mt. Abraham High School in Bristol, but moved back to Addison County after just a few months — he discovered cities just aren’t for him.
Bissonnette takes classes at the Vermont Adult Learning campus in Middlebury, and hopes either to go to college or pursue a career in outdoor education. He currently works at the Jiffy Mart in New Haven, and he plans on sticking around in Addison County for the foreseeable future.
