House concurrent resolution in memory of former Brookfield Fire Captain and Vermont Cartoonist Laureate Edward Benjamin Koren

This bill is a commemorative resolution honoring Edward Benjamin Koren, a former Brookfield Fire Captain and Vermont Cartoonist Laureate who passed away in April 2023. The resolution extends condolences to his family and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the document to his family, the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department, and The New Yorker magazine. It recognizes Koren's dual legacy as a dedicated volunteer firefighter who served his community and a world-renowned cartoonist whose work appeared in major publications and museums. The bill does not create new laws or policies but serves as a formal acknowledgment of his contributions to Vermont and the arts.
