CRHS graduation 2013 a festive passage

By Mark Dionne Town Times Coginchaug Regional High School graduated the Class of 2013 during ceremonies held June 25 at the high school.

Opening remarks were by Class President Lauren Trombetta. She cited the year (’13) and district number (13) as having a certain unfavorable connotation and noted that events and weather had not always been on the side of the Class of 2013.

She asked “Are we lucky or unlucky?”

But despite posing that

somewhat dicey question, she concluded that, indeed, the class was lucky.

Several graduation speakers thanked their parents and the adults in their lives.

In his speech, salutatorian Justin Etheridge said, “One hundred and forty-six graduating seniors sit on this stage tonight, and despite what our giant, overinflated, teenage egos are telling us, we are here not only because of ourselves but also because of our educators and loved ones.”

Coginchaug alum picked the brain of Red Sox fans for new book, Fenway Fanatics

Greg Pearson, a 1972 alumnus of Coginchaug Regional High School, began a labor of love a year and half ago. He decided the love affair Boston Red Sox fans had with the Olde Towne Team was something special, something not found with fans of other teams.

The product of his labor is a book entitled Fenway Fanatics, published by Surry

Cottage Books out of Keene, N.H. “I set out to tell the story of Red Sox fans,” said Pearson, in a phone interview from Milwaukee. “There’s something kind of cool about the fans of the Sox in the six New England states and beyond and I wanted to tell their story.”

Pearson said he asked three questions: How did you become a fan? What was the best moment? What was the worst moment?

“There were lots of fascinating stories,” Pearson said.

“This love of the Red Sox is something that is passed from generation to generation and there’s no question there is something special about this team and its fans.”

Pearson never played the game.

“Oh, I was the world’s worst player,” he said. “I was cut from my Little League

writing career as a stringer for Coginchaug for The Middletown Press.

“Wally Camp had me turn in basketball stories to Fred Post, the sports editor of the Press,” said Pearson. “Then in the summers of 1974 and 1975 when I was in college, I interned for The Press.”

Pearson went to Boston College and managed to get a ticket to Game 2 of the 1975 World Series between Cincinnati and the Sox.

team. But I played soccer in high school for Wally Camp, who taught me so much. I wasn’t a very good soccer player either, but I loved it and I have many fond memories of Coginchaug High.”

Pearson, who has been a journalist for 36 years and now works for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, started his

“We couldn’t get a ticket to Game 6, so we watched that on TV from our dorm which was about four blocks from Fenway,” he said. “Then when [Carlton] Fisk hit the home run, we went to the roof of our dorm that overlooked Kenmore Square and watched the celebration in the streets. It was unforgettable.”

Building a garden that lasts is one way to grow

By Ron Capozzi Special to Town Times

When I first came to Durham in 1980, I imagined moving to the country and having a fertile piece of land to garden to my heart’s content. I was in for a rude awakening. Most of the soil was sterile due to what I can only guess was chemical “weed and feed” use. I had my work cut out for me. I collected leaves, horse manure

and wood chip to build tilth.

I tried both heap and sheet composting trying to do in my lifetime what nature achieves in a millennium.

The lawn has shrunk to a fraction of its former size I started with. I learned that once you stop mowing sections, nature moves in. Grass surrenders to tall weeds and they in turn get replaced with scrub followed by pioneer trees.

When landscaping, one

cup the pipe. I attached a crank at one end to roll/unroll the netting.

And to add a little panache, on top of the posts I added copper caps to keep water from rotting the post tops.

The typical suburban lawn requires constant disturbance to keep it in a fixed state. I define low-maintenance as an ecology, in a state of equilibrium, where any intervention should be surgical instead of massive.

To get to that point may require a lot of upfront work especially in the design phase and choosing your plant guilds well. I anticipate a time when I may need to scale back my gardening duties without compromising results. This is where sustainability comes in.

The plan is that when the plot I planted with permaculture is mature, then weeds will not have a niche to exploit. Everything will be in check and bounty will prevail. It is not such a pipe dream as it sounds. I have sound scientific research to

back me up and years of study to show the way. Is it cutting edge? Yes, so much so I have no guarantees and as with cooking you can have good culinary skills but not always know if what you are making will work. Even if the plant guild is a success, will I be laying out a banquet for the wild life?

Everyone has his or her shtick and mine is growing small fruit. With my latest project of three types of lingonberries I know that sheep don’t like them but cows do.

Where do deer fit in? I’ll let you know in a couple of years. By then I should be able to tell you how the quince and high bush cranberry held up as well as the European and American elderberries. Because I don’t have to be profitable I am not afraid to experiment and make mistakes and the lessons I learn may help others.

The line between ornamentals and edibles is blurring and I hope to help define the template.

needs to triage time and energy. Once one area is designed well for low-maintenance, you are free to turn your attention to other neglected areas. Sometimes nature helps with storms or warm winter to tackle those tough jobs. A plan is good. A tenacious, deliberate, methodical execution is even better. Don’t get me wrong, I do allow for serendipity and an organic evolving of the plan. Do I ever let my enthusiasm get the better of me and go over the top? You bet!

A couple of years ago I started a blueberry/gooseberry/currant patch that I enclosed in cinder blocks. I would pick up a dozen at a time at Home Depot to define the area of the patch. Over a period of three years, I amended the area by emptying my neighbor’s paddock, scrounging for cardboard boxes, and hauling wood chips from our transfer station to prep the area.

The berries plants were purchased once the soil was amended. By the time the last block was laid I had over 230 blocks, some of which were landscaping blocks to handle the grade of the slope. Now for the “over the top” part. I built a cage 16 feet by 61feet with notched and stained 2inch by 4-inch lumber cemented in 2-foot by 8-inch Sonatubes with 1-inch by 3inch lumber as cross braces.

It has two screen doors, enclosed with hardware cloth and cup hooks around the top to hold bird netting on top.

To support the netting I put big eye hooks on the posts and ran dog leash wire in a cross hatch pattern so the netting did not drop into the cage as one rolled or unrolled the netting depending on the season. The netting itself is on a roll made up of two 10foot by 3-inch PVC pipe.

I ended up attaching the netting via strips of wood screwed into the PVC pipe after gluing failed to work. The pipe rests on posts outside the cage on pieces of 6-inch PVC pipe that I cut in half to

Sale of remaining Powder Ridge land going to referendum

By Mark Dionne Town Times On July 23, Middlefield will hold a public referendum to vote on the sale of almost 20 acres of town-owned Powder Ridge property to Middlefield resident Lori Vogel for $300,000.

The property, listed as plus or minus 19.67 acres, consists of two large areas near Camp Nerden.

Several restrictions accompany the potential sale.

Vogel and any future owners would be limited to one single family residence, in addition to agricultural structures.

Potential structures have to be wood-sided and further than 100 feet back from the lot line. The footprint of any single building is limited to 20,000 square feet.

At recent Middlefield Board of Selectmen meetings and at an April 9 public hearing on the issue, several Middlefield residents objected to the sale. Multiple residents have questioned whether this potential sale fulfills the de-

and it’s not there.� “Not only is there a legal responsibility, but it’s almost a breach of the public trust,� said Cheryl Pizzo, of Middlefield’s Economic Development Council. “Personally, I would have voted against this if I’d known that we weren’t going to get any open space.

There is no open space.�

Middlefield First Selectman Jon Brayshaw has noted at several recent meetings that the legal definition of open space does not necessarily exclude development or buildings. “Powder Ridge ski area is open space. Lyman golf course is open space,�

Brayshaw said. “There’s all

ing, Brayshaw noted that the offer was unsolicited and said, “Our job is to bring the deal to the table.�

The next BOS meeting, scheduled for July 16, one week before the referendum, will be a second public hearing on the issue, according to Brayshaw.

Applications for absentee ballots will be available at the town clerk’s office and can also be mailed upon request.

According to Town Clerk Donna Golub, residents on the voter rolls, as well as owners of Middlefield property with enough taxable value, can vote in the referendum.

That’s a certain definition of open space, but it’s not our town’s definition of open space,� Brayshaw said.

At the April 9 public hearing, Vogel said she is not interested in leasing the property and wants the land for her neighboring horse farm. “My true intention is to keep it beautiful,� she said. “My vision is to keep it just like it is ...

Middlefield resident Marianne Corona, who has consistently objected to the sale, noted at the same public meeting that any restrictions placed on the sale could be waived by a future vote of the BOS. “It’s much more valuable to leave this 20 acre parcel there than to sell it for $300,000 clearly,� said Corona at the June 3 BOS meeting. “It was open space that brought many voters to the table to vote for that [the original purchase]

Rowan said she has always had an environmentally conscious streak, something she credits to her parents. “It rubbed off on me,� she said.

The Durham Middlefield Youth and Family Services office launched a new campaign against underage drinking and adults who provide kids with alcohol.

In an awareness campaign developed to include four advisors and 25 teenagers, the group visited liquor stores in the Durham/Middlefield area. This is the campaign’s second year.

“Sticker Attack,” as it is dubbed, is the action of tagging packs of beer, wine coolers and other alcoholic beverages with stickers reminding folks of the dangers of underage drinking, and distributing alcohol to minors.

The group tagged as many containers as possible throughout the stores, sending their message home with the purchaser.

The project was developed by area teens as part of the DMYFS Teen Power conference, currently in its second year of implementation. The goal of the project is to raise public awareness and educate adults and older peers of the dangers and laws of underage drinking, and ulti-

Pearson, 58, worked for a time for the now-defunct Manchester Evening Herald under legendary sports editor Earl Yost, then later moved to Pearson Wa u w a t o s a , Wis. with his wife Michele where he now edits news and sports for the Milwaukee daily.

“One of my favorite stories in the book is about Jean DeRoche, a lady from Weymouth, Mass., who passed away in 2009,” Pearson said.

“She said she refused to die until the Red Sox won a world championship and she saw two.”

Pearson said that she attended 56 Red Sox season openers and her obituary began with the words, “A wicked big Boston Red Sox fan....”

“I read that obit and I had to talk with the family,” Pearson said. “So I got in touch with her daughter and her brother and they both wanted to talk about her.”

It seems that the obituary asked that people who come to her wake wear Red Sox gear and everyone did that.

There also were many RedSox themed floral displays. In Pearson’s book, a copy of her program from the opener in 1954 appears.

“She kept score of every game and according to her relatives, she never lost faith that one day the Sox would See Fenway, page 22

filled in at first base, snaring some off-target throws to eradicate several errors. Harrison, Mills and Micah Ackerman rounded out the infield.

Wills Evers, Judson, Steve Ackerman and Dynia got their fair share of exercise chasing shots all over the outfield.

Ackerman said, “We did a pretty good defensive job.

White Dog just had too much firepower.”

Coginchaug’s top athletes were recognized at the Spring Sports Banquet, June 10, at the high school.

Garnering Coaches Award were, from left: Evan Rand (baseball), Victoria Orozco (girls tennis), Sean Cavanaugh (golf), Deanna Puchalski (softball), Tyler McDonald (boys tennis), Kasi Whitacker (girls outdoor track), Nathaniel Weir (boys outdoor track).

Matty’s Next Door Sports Bar lost its third straight contest in the Middlesex County 40 and Over Men’s Softball League, falling 29–5 to Portland’s White Dog Café June 16 at Nolan Field.

The Matt-Men had a brief lead in the top of the first inning. With two out, Bob Dynia singled to right field, scoring on clean-up hitter Mike Mills’ triple to left center. Russ Harrison followed with a clean single to left to drive in Mills.

Perennial powerhouse White Dog – formerly Route 66 Cafe — immediately came back with six runs in the bottom of the first, scoring in

each of their six times at bat.

Matty’s was able to pick up three runs in the sixth. With one out, Ken Judson singled up the middle and came around on Dynia’s triple to right center field. Mills, not to be out-done, rocketed a shot over the right-fielder.

Even with a fenced-in field he rounded the bases for a home run, just beating the throw to the plate.

Manager Steve Ackerman worked with a short squad, having to put some fielders in unfamiliar positions. Veteran hurler Wayne Hubbard did a fine job on the mound against a very strong Portland squad. George Miller called a good game from behind the plate. Bob Edwards

TownOpinion Letters to the Editor

Fond farewell

Pesticide warning

To the editor: I would like to say thank you to all those I have met and been able to assist during my time as assistant town clerk in Middlefield. I have enjoyed meeting and spending time with all of you who have come through town hall. Whether it was for a dog license, or fishing and hunting licenses, a beach pass, copies, or just to say hello, I have to say it’s been fun and very interesting. My only wish is that I was allowed to do more. It’s been just over two years and due to conditions beyond my control I will not be able to continue as Assistant Town Clerk. I have taken great pleasure in doing what I could for all of you.

Maureen Duffy Assistant Town Clerk, Middlefield

To the editor: Murphy, our joyful therapy dog, died of lymphoma because of those tiny flags posted on lawns. We put Murphy to sleep one day after his sixth birthday, the day he was to begin a program working with autistic children. We chose not to subject him to more suffering with chemo. Three veterinarians who treated Murphy, including an oncology specialist, asked if he had been exposed to lawn treatments.

We have lived here almost 30 years and no one in our neighborhood used pesticides or herbicides until recently, most still don’t.

We’ve had three other dogs that lived into their teens, in the era before the little flags came. We were vigilant to never let Murphy walk on a lawn with those little flags. But, we never considered the risks of “second-hand” exposure that might drift his way.

Those tiny flags represent a very serious health risk to anyone in the vicinity of a toxic lawn application. Children and pets are at a much higher risk.

If you don’t use pesticides or herbicides you might feel safe, but can you smell the stuff when it is in the air from a nearby property? These toxins are airborne and even if you do not smell anything, a light, transparent poisonous film may be on your lawn, dog dish and your kids’ toys and your pool.

We wish we’d known of this “acid rain” effect and kept Murphy and his dish and toys inside for a couple of days. The benign little flags are probably a compromise in the ongoing struggle with the lawn care industry over safety standards.

If you wish to treat your lawn consider organic products. The internet has countless sites and articles linking pesticides and herbicides with cancer and other ailments, particularly lymphoma, particularly in children and young dogs.

Terry and Don Bourret Durham

Rural ideal

To the editor: At the top of Long Hill Road lies a flat open space of about 20 acres. A deer might stand in there, or a cow. The land has some green trees lined on two sides, and in the distance are buildings from Nerden Camp and then the mountains beyond. The land has a familiar look of grasses and wildflowers and long grass grow in that field.

This lot is an icon of early days when wood lots were used, hay was mowed, and farming characterized all of Middlefield. Today, the ski area hidden away is under development, but the meadow is unspoiled. This could be open space that was sought in the first referendum when Middlefield bought Powder Ridge. This piece of green hasn’t aged, while all around it development lurks.

Voters of Middlefield can preserve this gem. A “no” vote in the July 23 referendum will save this piece of green landscape. Let the town lease the land for agricultural uses.

Don’t sell it for a house.

Development decisions affect many of the things that touch people’s everyday lives— their health, their daily commute, the material environment, the deer, the economic growth, the opportunity to dream. We can foster a distinctive community with a strong sense of place from the past to the present.

Development can be directed toward existing paved roads and constructed buildings. Let’s preserve this link from the past. Let’s keep it as open space, owned and leased by the town for agricultural purposes. Vote “no” on the Referendum to sell it.

The rural ideal that historically shaped Middlefield is rapidly being challenged, but the spirit could continue to flourish on this small meadow. There is not a five-star mansion in the world that could offer any better sights, sounds or smells than the meadow which exists from the farming past.

Alma Elder Middlefield

Resourceful folks To the editor: Thank you everyone who participated, attended, gave, sold and otherwise enjoyed Old Home Days. It was great being with you.

Aren’t we all blessed to live in this town and have the weather Gods smile upon us?

A festival like Old Homes Days happens because of the love and the drive that many individuals have to make a difference, to create a home, a community and ultimately a world that works for everyone. My hat is off to each and every person who had a part in this or any of the past seven Old Home Days celebrations (and even before that!) You are known, appreciated and loved. You are the key to peace on the planet. Thank you for living in our community.

Business Focus Precision Plumbing When plumber Brian Read wanted to open up his own plumbing business, he picked the place where he was born and raised - Durham.

A Coginchaug Regional High School graduate, Read opened Precision Plumbing Solutions in April.

With nine years of plumbing experience, Read said his new company will handle “pretty much everything you could say.”

This wide range of jobs, Read said, means “everything from a half hour fix to re-plumbing the house.”

Although Read has experience with residential, commercial and industrial work, he said, “Well repair and remodeling is what I target.” The local area, according to Read, has a need for a well repair specialist. “There’s not a lot of people around who do it.”

The name of the business, Precision Plumbing Solutions, was picked to reflect Read’s approach. “I try to be as precise as possible to keep costs down and solve plumbing problems in the home,”Read said .

Precision Plumbing Solutions can be reached at (860) 788-6216.

Google ‘Internship’ meets ‘The End of the World’

By Tanya Feke M.D. Special to Town Times

Chemistry is not about a romantic spark and less so about science experiments. It is that intangible synergy between people that draws you to them like moths to a flame. It is hard to look away from that

sort of dynamic interaction, especially if it makes you laugh. Abbott and Costello.

Martin and Lewis. Cheech and Chong. Thankfully, two comedies this summer bring that chemistry to the big screen with animated flare.

In The Internship, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson re-

unite after the hysterical 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers.

This time, they play two downon-their-luck salesmen who lose their jobs to technology – who wants to buy a designer watch when he can simply pull out his cell phone to check the time? Instead of seeking out new sales positions, the obvious choice, these middleaged jokers target the most coveted techno jobs available, internships at Google. This without knowing the difference between html or C++.

(Hey, I don’t know either!) The scenario is preposterous, but before you balk at the “as if ” farce, that is the charm of the piece.

The Internship is not about modern marvels, not in the slightest. It is about how we get caught up in technology, how we forget to live in the moment and not our screens.

Practically fatherly figures (if father figures would take you to a strip club), Vaughn and Wilson ensnare you with pop culture references (hello, Ala-

nis Morissette and Flashdance) and charm the socks off you with laugh out loud one-liners. You cannot help but want to hang out with these guys … “on the line.”

Altogether, The Internship is charming, funny, and cute if a bit predictable.

What is amazing is the overthe-top mayhem of the apocalypse in This Is The End. Who knew a movie about the rapture could pack such a comedic punch? Seth Rogen did, that’s who. As director, writer, and producer, he has created the funniest film I have seen in the theater to date. When I say funniest, I mean that if someone were to drink too much during the movie, she may experience urinary incontinence, and no, that has never happened to me.

The film is chockfull of celebrity cameos but it is the chemistry between the leads – James Franco, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, and Danny

McBride – that delights with its snarky self-serving overindulgence. Playing caricatures (we hope) of their true selves, their ensemble faces a harsh reality when literally all hell breaks loose during a party at Franco’s house.

I giggled when I saw the words “NKOTB 4-EVA” written on one of Franco’s walls, gawked at the machismo of these goofballs over a sip of water, and bounced in my seat when a flash mob broke out in heaven.

Raunchy and ripe with pop culture mischief, the funny is in the details … in every single scene. I was not alone as the audience roared with laughter throughout the film.

These comedy adventures have lit the silver screen in a big way, and hopefully, we will have lots more to enjoy over the dog days of summer. It’s not like it’s the end of the world. Oh wait, it is!

CRHS Class of 2013

Continued from page 1 lenged the class to embrace humility, speak for the powerless, and make the world a better place.

Valedictorian Carli Wallace gave a humorous speech which celebrated the years departing seniors had spent at Coginchaug but also pointed to better times yet to come.

“And while our time at Coginchaug may be finite, the memories we’ve made are infinite if we carry them and their lessons with us.”

In her speech, Wallace acknowledged classmates and teachers and publicly thanked Wikipedia.

Assistant Principal Brian Bodner applauded parents, school staff, and the class. “As a group, we have accomplished many great things and built a foundation for others,” Bodner said.

English teacher Kris Nystrom began his commencement address with a song “Oh What a Beautiful Morning” - and closed it with practical advice. If you have to buy colored socks for work, he said, only buy one type and one color and you will never waste time searching for a match.

Romanian native brings world class music to local church

By Elisabeth Kennedy Special to Town Times

Although fluent in English, French, Italian and Romanian, Isadora Pastragus believes “music is the communication between souls.”

Pastragus’ ties to the local community grew stronger recently when she was hired as minister of music at the Middlefield Federated Church last fall.

Pastragus had played in Catholic churches since she was 16, but had never heard of a federated church. She did research, was intrigued, and answered the organization’s employment advertisement.

“The warmth and freedom appealed to me,” said Pastragus, adding she felt very comfortable at the interview. “It was meant to be.”

Pastragus now enjoys

working with the choir.

“They are really good people.

The church is warm, like a big family.” She said she dreams of a children’s choir and offers periodic performances to create more interest.

This creates an opportunity for local youth to share not only Pastragus’ world-class talent and her love of music.

She hopes to plan a concert in Middlefield sometime in the next year at which time the community will have a chance to meet her and observe her artistry on the piano.

Pastragus was born in Iasi, Romania. She’s been playing the piano since she was four-years-old. One of the top students at the George Enescu Specialized School of Music for Gifted Children in Bucharest, she made her concert debut as a soloist with the National

Symphony Orchestra of Iasi.

At 11, she won her first national competition in Bucharest. Since then, she has won or been a finalist in many international competitions, including the World Piano Competition, Cincinnati, Ohio, Van Cliburn Young Artists Competition, Forth Worth, Texas, Mathilde-Horlait-Dapsens, and the International Chamber Music Competition, Bruxelles, Belgium.

She obtained a Premiere Prix and Diplome Superior with Great Distinction from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Bruxelles and in 2000 was recruited to the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio.

She later obtained a masters of music in piano performance from Rice University Shepherd School of Music, Houston, Texas where

It was her husband’s residency at Yale that brought them to Connecticut where he is now finishing a fellowship. “Connecticut makes me feel at home. The four seasons, the landscape, remind me of Romania,” Pastragus said.

career includes performing with many prestigious orchestras, including the Bacau Symphony Orchestra, Romania, the National Symphony Orchestra of Kishinev (former U.S.S.R.), the Orchestre National de Lille, France, the Royal National Harmony Orchestra, Bruxelles, and the Firelands Symphony Orchestra, Ohio.

Pastragus has performed for dignitaries such as Pope John Paul II, Queen Paola and Prince Philippe of Belgium, and former President George H. W. Bush.

More than 20 years onstage has taught Pastragus to keep herself inspired in order to inspire others.

She said she now enjoys inspiring youth, teaching and coaching students for national and international competitions through the Middlesex Academy for the Performing Arts at the Independent Day School. Pastragus offers classes in four hand piano, music theory, history of piano music as well as individual piano classes, providing area youth a blend of education, training, and performing experience.

win the World Series,” Pearson said .

Maybe the funniest story was one told by Bobby Donlon, an Atlanta resident who owns a high-end restaurant in the Buckhead District of Atlanta and who grew up in Massachusetts.

He came back to New England for his brother’s wedding which was the same day as Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

“It was a beautiful day for a

wedding,” Pearson said.

“That night, the wedding party watched Game 6 in the hotel bar. When the ball went through Bill Buckner’s legs and the Mets won, Donlon, still in his shoes and tuxedo, walked out of the hotel, across the street and into a pond.

“The wedding party yelled for him to stop and when he got up to his neck, he stopped, turned around, came out and went back to his hotel room.”

Pearson said he worked to get a wide variety of folks in

his book. “I didn’t want it to be a book exclusively of 55year old white guys from New England,” he said.

So there are fans from the six New England states, 10 additional states, Canada and several other countries, said Pearson.

Among those who share their love of the Sox is former UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun, who talked about going to Sox games with his dad. It seems that Calhoun’s father grew up a Boston Braves fan, but when the Braves bolted for Milwau-

kee, Dad decreed there would never be mention of the Braves in his home again.

Thus the Calhouns became Sox fans.

Another interviewee was Linda Tosetti, the granddaughter of Babe Ruth who lives in Connecticut. In 2003 she was asked whom she liked in what turned out to be the epic ALCS between the Sox and Yankees, won by the Yanks on Aaron Boone’s extra-inning home run off Tim Wakefield. “She chose the Sox, which earned her the ire of Yankee fans,” Pearson said.

He also wrote about George Shugrue of Waterbury, a Sox fan who died far too young in 1979 without ever seeing a Red Sox championship. But his five children carried the torch for dad.

“It meant so much to them when the Sox won in 2004,” said Pearson. “They got choked up when they talked about what it would have meant to their Dad.” Pearson also said he wrote about brothers Jon and Adam Platt of Bristol. They talked about their two grandfathers, one who died in 1994 and never saw a championship, and the other who died seven weeks after the 2004 Sox crown.

“He was 90 years old at the time and the brothers tell me he loved it,” Pearson said.

Pearson said that the book, which was published in early June, should be in bookstores soon if it isn’t there already.

He said he hopes to do a book signing at Broad St. Books in Middletown, but that is not yet confirmed.

“The book has local Connecticut connections and much broader connections,” Pearson said. “You can’t help but feel that there is a special connection between the Red Sox and their fans. This book, I think, makes that case.”
