Livin' in Connecticut - Washington

 


Washington, CT

Well, this is a change of pace.  I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece.  But  I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries.  Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance.  But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks.    And it's free!  Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same.  If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise.  If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight.  Thanks.

ezs note:  So, this town needed a name.  In my opinion, they could not have picked a better one -  Winthrop, Washington.  You see, they named it after Maj. Theodore Woolsey Winthrop, Yale graduate and an ardent abolitionist.  When the Civil War broke out, he (of course) volunteered.  Sadly, he was killed early.  Winthrop was named after him - and the rest of us thank him.
