Danbury High School Alumni Newsletter
Class of 1966-1967-1970

July 2011

Welcome to our Newsletter

==================
The Editor's Corner

Mike Marinaro

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It sure has been a hot one so far here in North Carolina; many days in the very high 90s! We are getting ready for a much needed vacation and will be heading for Myrtle Beach, SC on July 11th.

==================

It seems like the only way somebody gets their name in this newsletter is when they die! Let's make an effort to change that trend and send me some information about what's going on in your life.

I'm sure much has happened since our High School days...it would be nice to share some of that with our fellow classmates. Send me recent photos or articles about your accomplishments. Maybe you just want to take a stroll down memory lane and tell a short story about 'the good ole days'. If you have written a book or you are an accomplished musician or artist let us know about it! Send me your favorite recipe if you want to.

I am always looking for articles for the newsletter and I need your help to keep it interesting.

Danbury Trivia

The answer to last issue's trivia question is The FCI (Federal Correctional Institute). You can see it as you drive on Route 37 between Danbury and New Fairfield.

If you have a picture for Danbury Trivia please email it to me along with the answer.

This Month's Trivia Question

What is this...I'm sure most of you have been inside this building many times.

Trivia question - Danbury, CT.

I haven't seen this place in over 30 years, so I'm sure it doesn't look like this anymore; however, anyone who grew up in Danbury should recognize this.

Email your answers to mmarinaro@nc.rr.com

Remember When?

Last issue I had a picture of some metal roller skates which attached to your shoes. Here's another old-time method of transportation that we enjoyed! The scooter was the predecessor to the skate board and a whole lot safer in my opinion. How many of you had a scooter like this when you were growing up?

Did You Know?

Candlewood Lake is the largest lake in Connecticut and one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. The Lake has a surface area of 8.4 square miles with 86-miles of shoreline.

Candlewood Lake was created in the 1920's with water from the Housatonic River which is released from the dam built by Connecticut Light & Power in 1928. This facility is the first pumped-storage hydroelectric facility built in the U.S.

The four towns of Brookfield, New Milford, Sherman, and New Fairfield along with the city of Danbury share Candlewood Lake's almost 90 miles of shoreline.

When Candlewood Lake was created in the 1920s inhabitants were relocated elsewhere, but many of the buildings in the valley were left standing and a considerable amount of personal property, including a great deal of farm equipment, was left behind.
