Former VHFA Commissioner Carl Spangler has died in Woodstock. He was 61.
He moved to Vermont from Pennsylvania in 1975. Two years later, then-Gov. Richard Snelling appointed him Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
He served on VHFA's Board of Commissioners from 1977-80 and went on help develop the Killington Ski area.

VHFA wrapped up its spring wellness program Friday. For the past four weeks, staffers have been logging the number of steps they climb during the course of the work day.
Collectively, participants climbed 5,510 flights — 53 percent more than our last stairs program in 2008.
Top climber awards go to Senior Development Underwriter Cindy Reid, Chief Financial Officer Tom Connors and Director of Multifamily Programs Sam Falzone who climbed 750, 660 and 610 flights, respectively.
