2. I am not a geek. It is more about good content than it is about technology.

3. In a crowded marketplace, where your potential clients and customers have lots of choices, you can stand out by being just slightly famous. It’s not about being all things to all people, but being a mini-celebrity to the right people. It’s about targeting your market and developing a reputation as a great resource – trustworthy, knowledgeable, and close-at-hand.” Steven Van Yoder Get Slightly Famous

26. Hi Linda, My name is Drew Warmath. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to put together the Ledyard CT page on Facebook. My family moved to Gales Ferry in 1964. I moved away in 1990, but my mother still resides on Pine Lock Drive. I have just spent more than an hour browsing your FB page and your blog at simplyledyard. What wonderful memories I have; from working summers at the Up-Down Sawmill, to driving through 6 inches of water on the "old" Sandy Hollow Road. It's been a delightful journey back through time. Thanks again! Drew
