Description: Legendary Locals of Middletown, Connecticut by Robert Hubbard, Kathleen Hubbard Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Although the town benefits from a position on a major navigable waterway, Middletowns success is primarily due to the energy, creativity, and diversity of its people. These include James Riley, whose autobiography detailing his trials as a white slave in Northern Africa showed millions of Americans the evils of slavery; Max Corvo, who helped the World War II Italian underground defeat the fascist regime; and Christie Ellen McLeod, longtime chief pathologist at Middlesex Memorial Hospital. Middletown can boast of athletes such as Helen "Babe" Carlson, a tremendously strong competitor who participated on mens baseball teams; Willie Pep, who, while going for the world featherweight title, had a record of 134 wins and only one loss; and Corny Thompson, who sparked the University of Connecticut basketball programs rise to national prominence. More notables include Allie Wrubel, a prolific songwriter and Academy Award winner for his song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah;" Vivian McRae Wesley, a teacher, reading director, and leader of Middletowns African American community; and Francesco Lentini, who was born with three legs and appeared in every major circus and carnival. Author Biography Robert Hubbard is an associate professor at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven and, with his wife, Kathleen, author of Images of America: Middletown. Most of the photographs in Glastonbury have been selected from the collection of the Historical Society of Glastonbury.
