It just doesn't get any better.
- Last year, when Ledyard Patch was just a pup, we marked Thanksgiving by highlighting photos, circa 1940, from a really cool website dedicated to Quakertown. The site is lovingly maintained by Duane Schultz. If you missed it, and a lot of you had yet to hear of Patch last Thanksgiving, here it is again.
- Two Ledyard High School varsity soccer players will be playing in the 2011 Senior Bowl next Sunday at Middletown High School. Gabe May and Zach Ash will be among 13 players from ECC high schools playing for Region 1. Gabe and Zach also made All-ECC Team. Congratulations boys!
