A CKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book exists because people were willing to share their stories. I need to thank so many, but it’s impossible to name them all, as memory and space prevent it. Nevertheless, I extend my gratitude to Milford and Milfordians for their support and for enduring my endless questions.

I thank Thomas Sawyer, publisher of the Milford Daily News, where my stories first ran as “Yesterdays Past.” I also thank Brian Bodio for championing my cause.

I thank Denise Mize for our early days in journalism together.

I thank Jane Bigda, editor of the Milford Town Crier, where my column “Milford Moments” later appeared. She’s been generous and enthusiastic as this book has come together.

I thank Maria Vesperi, friend, professor and editor, who has believed in this project for a long while. Her faith and vision have nurtured and coaxed it into being.

Anne Berard, reference librarian at the Milford Town Library, has been a determined, cheerful resource and source of support in organizing this book.

Reference Librarians Deborah Eastman and Mary Frances Best, Library Director Susan Edmonds and the entire Friends of the Milford Town Library have aided my work in thousands of ways.

Finally, I think my parents, John F. Curran and Mae Ross Curran. My father’s gift for storytelling was legendary and infectious. My mother’s energy and work with the American Red Cross during World War II was inspiring then, as now.

To my brothers, John Ross Curran and Leo Francis Curran, I thank you for the fun, the fights, the shenanigans and service for our country.
