Hometown on the Internet

Just a quick note to assure you that former residents are still paying attention to their hometown. In this electronic world we have developed, it is nice to keep an eye on things past. I can live in Oregon but still read the articles on your web page (and, yes, I even read my mother's articles). I can listen to Georgia Tech football games over broadcast.com or I can listen to the same rock station I worshipped in high school (although my tastes have definitely mellowed).

Although Fayetteville has changed many times over, it will always be my hometown. Thank you for the opportunity to pause and remember. Keep up the good work on your web pages.
