I had to tease my friend Diane that the best information that I could find on the podunk town of West Milton, OH, was on ePodunk.com. While I miss Diane since she moved to West Milton and miss seeing the kids growing up, Brian acclimated to life in West Milton very quickly and loves living there. Fortunately, with today’s technology, we are able to keep in touch more easily than in the past.
