My
name is Brent Colley. I grew up in Redding, CT on Peaceable Street
in the Georgetown section of town. I am 32 years of age, married
and living in Sharon, CT.
My family
came to Redding in the late 1800's and settled on Peaceable Street.
Since then five generations have grown up in Redding.
In the past
five years I've been able to obtain a great deal of information
and photos of the Redding and Georgetown area. My collection is
much larger than what you see here on the site largely because I
do not receive funding for this web site. I add information whenever
I can find the time to do so and unfortunately that has not been
very often in the past year and a half.
The Norwalk
River Watershed Association has allowed me to expand the reach
of this web site by sponsoring a Walking History Tour this past
Fall and a Slide Lecture on the History of Gilbert & Bennett
in Georgetown this Winter. These opportunities have led to other
speaking engagements: I presented a slide lecture to the Meadow
Ridge facility on May 1 and The Cannondale Grange on May 15.
These lectures
have been so well received and enjoyable that I am offering my services
to the public. My past slide lectures have ranged from 1 hour to
1 and a half hours. I am very flexible and will be happy to discuss
your needs with you to make the event a great success for you and
an enjoyable evening for your audience.
My rate
is $150 per lecture, interested parties can e-mail me at: bcolley@colleyweb.com
or phone me at 860-364-7475. I work out of a home office so I am
available any day of the week at any time.
