Helen Beckerhoff by Stowe Speaks
Interviewed by Amanda Kuhnert on April 2010. Helen was a long-time resident of Stowe. From the late 1940’s to the late 1960’s she owned and operated a ski lodge, The Lantern, in the heart of Stowe Village. In the rear of the lodge Helen had a jewelry store, The Silver Shop, where she designed and made handcrafted silver jewelry. However, the shop was best known for the place where local, state, National and world events and issues were debated. Helen was always community minded. She served on the Stowe Select Board, the Stowe Planning Commission, and was secretary to the Stowe Area Association. When most people settled into retirement, Helen earned her Master’s degree and then taught English as a second language in China. She never lost her passion for travel.
