about this
issue
In this corner of the world most people look forward to meeting folks they know — sometime it’s an impromptu chat on Main Street or at a school function; sometimes it’s a lively exchange of opinions at a town meeting; sometimes its just a friendly wave or a nod at the post office or the store. It’s a common interaction that makes Addison County a special place to live and work. We greet each other in many different settings: as customer and retailer, client and professional, neighbor and friend. And we come to know each other. While we may or may not know the other’s name, we recognize the face and engage in a subtle act of community-building that is one of the joys of small town living. For a quarter century now we have published a Meet Your Business and Professional Community special section every spring to help our readers get to know a little bit more about the people who play such a vital role in our communities. In this 26th edition of the section, we visit more than 100 businesses, solicit their stories and put names with photos. Some businesses retell their history, others highlight their current products and services. Some feature employees who have hit special milestones and still others have cutting-edge offerings they want you to know about. In each case, the focus serves as a tribute to the hard-working employees and employers who make each business the success that it is. We hope you enjoy these pages and that you take the time to reacquaint yourself with the businesses — and the names of the employees — throughout Meet Your Business and Professional Community. Our closeknit communities have much to offer, not only in products and services, but also in the smiles of those who greet us each day and the thanks we offer in return. The editors
