Gordon was my father's uncle . . . I still remember following him at the parades and standing ringside at the carnivals where his trick horses would perform. My daughter rides now - she is 11 and we think there is a little Gordon in her.
Hello, I read somewhere else on the Internet that Kenneth Macaulay, who was killed in the Normandy invasion, is buried in Long Island National Cemetery. Also my brother-in-law knew him and was there when he was killed. regards Joe
It's great that you are keeping a pictoral record of all these towns. I only wish my town (West Haven) had more stuff to do and looked nicer (it's kind of going down the tubes, it could be so cute if people had money to put into it for nicer shops and such, it's falling apart). Nice job with all the pics. kat
This is a photo of the Connoly Brothers Esso Station on the corner of State St. and Main. State St. was a dead end that was just south of Church Street. The picture was taken around 1938 (around the time of the hurricane) Jim Roche

I lived right across the street from this building 338 Garden St. To the left you could see a small glance of old Mayor John J Grogen house and on the cornor was a barber shop.
I lived across the street from that house as well. I don't want to repeat what politically incorrect name was given to that house by the neighborhood kids.
On New Years Eve, 1961 Alan Dzurich was running this station and let me pull my '56 Chevy in to change the thermostat. I was with Vid McCoy. I tightened up the gooseneck too much and it cracked. That was it for New Years Eve. I had to get the Chevy out of the garage and drive it home with water and steam spraying out from under the hood. Vid always called me a "crack mechanic" after that.
So strange to be 3000 miles fron Windsor Locks, late on a rainy Seattle night, and run into your grandfather on the Internet! Thanks for the great picture. not many left.
Main and Spring Street. The First National Bank was on the south corner. On the north corner was Marconi's Luncheonette, known as "Wuzzie's", a nickname for one of the brothers, Angelo. JIM ROCHE
