It's Friday and I have a question about gypsy moths...

Over at Facebook's Ledyard Community Forum, town resident Michael Dreimiller reminded us of the gypsy moth invasion of 1981. It has been over 30 years since we fought that disgusting battle. What do you remember?

Linda Davis is a member of the Ledyard Town Council and has lived in Ledyard for almost 40 years. She has lots of questions and welcomes your answers.
