Andrew Postmus A friend of mine is looking for Mrs. Bonita Beason, born december 7,1941. In the eighties she lived in Naples, Florida and was working in the real estate business. There were some signs pointing to Hartford. I would be very glad if anyone should take contact with me. Thanks in advance. A.H.Postmus M.D. Sun, Dec 16, 2007 07:22 am 112

Brock Helander I've been trying to confirm the statement that Johnny Sain played for a Hartford baseball team. All I've been able to find is that he pitched in Braves/Red Sox exhibition games there in the late 1940s. I tracked down Jim Thorpe (1922) and Leo Durocher (1925), but not Sain. Also, I have virtually no information about the ballparks used by Hartford teams in the minor leagues up to 1952.

Miranda Malcolm Kyhill My grandfather, John Wylie Malcolm, was born in Hartford's 10th Ward in 1894. I'd like to know anything, like where in Hartford would that have been? He and his father took part in building the Wethersfield Ave. brownstones, so I've been told. Great website! Mon, Jun 18, 2007 14:01 pm 103

Kate Morris A wonderful website with lots of information that I'm sure my boss is going to love! Fri, May 18, 2007 09:29 am 93

banita g miller My Mom sent me to a tobacco farm to work one summer at the age of 15-16, and I am trying to locate this place. Years(1973-1975) It was a adventure for me, and so much fun! We took a bus with a bunch of us kids up to the farm, and we lived there in dorms. They would take us to the tobacco place on the busses for work, and would go to Boston, NY for our shopping tours. Could you please help me find this attraction? It would mean so much! Wed, Apr 18, 2007 17:51 pm 91

AF Your site is wondeful :claphands Fri, Apr 13, 2007 17:54 pm 90

D. S. Thank you so much for providing this lovely photobook! I'm coming to Hartford for a summer internship and am excited to see what a beautiful and historic city awaits. Mon, Mar 19, 2007 22:20 pm 89

Ian Simpson Great site; I lived in NY for 3 years and visited New England many times. Hartford was always a stopping place for us on our tours. Karen's photos bring back so many memories of places and people. The one dark spot is the Hunger Strike memorial erected by Irish-Americans sympathetic to the IRA and naively tolerated by natives as some romantic commemoration against British oppression. Coming from Northern Ireland I know too well the divisive nature of this memorial; the purpose of the hunger strike was to re-gain political prisoner status for IRA terrorists. The majority of people in Northern Ireland thankfully were firmly against this. To see how 'political' the crimes of the IRA were visit www.iraatrocities.fsnet.co.uk, or better still visit Northern Ireland (but not on an Irish NORAID-censored tour) and see for yourself; don't fear truth! For me personally, this memorial in Hartford 'justifies' the murder of a dear relative as a political act of conscience (La Mon bombing 17/2/7, and venerates the perpetrators as better than common criminals. As such its an aberration in an otherwise beautiful place. Keep up the good work Karen. Fri, Feb 2, 2007 02:43 am 88

Kelly I love the site. It gives us a great picture of our wonderful city of Hartford. Keep up the good work. Thu, Jan 18, 2007 15:07 pm 87

Linnea Travis Miller What a wonderful website and tour of the city I call home. Your photo-tour is awesome! I grew up on Nilan St in southwest Hartford in the '50's - my grandparents had been there since the '30's by way of Bonner St & Hillside Ave. At that time Nilan Street was such an ethnically-mixed neighborhood. My grandparents were Swedish, the Italians had the big house and yard on the corner with a wonderful truck farm [I believe it had once been Mayor Moylan's home?], we had Hungarians and Slavs down the street, the "English" and the Project down the hill. We'd catch the bus on New Britain Ave to G Fox and Brown Thompson's downtown, hang out in Goodwin Park and ice skate at Pope Park. Oh, the memories ... thank you, Karen for this work of love for those of us who connect with Hartford. Thu, Jan 11, 2007 21:33 pm 86

Greg Secord Fantastic resource for those who care about Hartford- thanks Karen for sharing your time and talent. Tue, Jan 2, 2007 17:28 pm 84

karen wosczyna birch This was a very enjoyable tour. I was born in Hartford and never left the state... I will be sure to forward the link to this site to my friends and colleagues. Mon, Jan 1, 2007 22:37 pm 83

Jim Dunlop Please could you send me information about a school called Clarence A. Barber. My Mother Willamena Lees went there around 1923. She was born in Hartford and the emigrated with her parents (my grandparents) to England 1932. My grandfather was Master Mason,and my grandmother wrote to the local papers about the treatment of Black people then. I shall try and get information which paper it was.

Mike D. I grew up in Central Mass., and have lived in Florida for fifteen of the last twenty years, but now I'm coming home to New England to settle in Hartford and I couldn't be happier. I think it's a great place to raise my family, and I want the people of Hartford to know that there's no place like New England. You may not believe it at times, but we truly live in the best part of the country. Keep up the good work! Thu, Dec 21, 2006 18:18 pm 81
