ezs note:  If you live in Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and  Waterbury.  Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people an email.

If you live outside of Connecticut, but have a friend who lives there, please tell them.  Once again, 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.
