Born Dec. 26, 1941Westport, ConnecticutDied Sept. 11, 2025Charlotte, VermontNicholas (Nick) Monsarrat of Charlotte, longtime veteran of the Vermont news scene, has died at the age of 83. He is featured in the 2010 Vermont Public Television documentary “Headline Vermont,” which details the history of Vermont Newspapers. Anne Galloway has written glowingly of Nick during Digger’s founding: “I am grateful for the constancy of Nick Monsarrat, my editor. He is the cousin of famed novelist Nicholas Monsarrat (“The Cruel Sea”), and later penned two novels of his own–“The Sharpstown Boys” and “United States.” Barbara and Nick also rode together and cared for their total of seven horses in both Vermont and Florida. No doubt his parents, John and Margaret Monsarrat were on hand, along with his in-laws Ann and Dominic Curcio.
