A Bellows Falls doctor recommended that Artie Aiken drink goat milk to soothe his stomache. "The nicest milk you ever drank," Aiken says.

Artie Aiken used to have stomach problems. During World War II, he served on bases in Connecticut and Texas instead of going overseas. When he got back to Vermont, a doctor prescribed goat milk – and things were never the same.

Recently, Aiken helped bring a World War II memorial to the town of Westminster.
