Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro (D-Conn.) on Nov. 9 sponsored a group of her constituents, including Richard H. Borer Jr., the mayor of West Haven, Conn. in a reception at the Library.
The occasion was the presentation of a copy of Savin Rock Memories, compiled by Gil Johnson and Bennett W. Dorman. Published by the West Haven Committee for the Preservation of Local History, the volume commemorates a now-defunct amusement park that figures warmly in the memory of the citizens of West Haven and nearby areas.
The book has generated a lot of local excitement, and proceeds from the sale, which have been brisk, are being used to establish a trust fund to support the production of other local histories.
