Happy Thanksgiving!
Let me be honest and say that I've lost count of the number of blessings I am thankful for this year.
One blessing I am grateful for is you! Thank you, as always, for tuning in to this show.
The Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show Podcast is about the history and culture of Greenwich, Connecticut USA.
Through it all this show is for you and all who appreciate and cherish this community's many blessings.
On this Thanksgiving Day 2021, I decided to do something a little different. A few of us gathered by the Greenwich shore for an early morning outdoor Thanksgiving breakfast.
With not a cloud above us, the warm glow of the autumn morning sun filled our hearts with joy and gratitude.
My friends, whatever you do today my hope for you is that Thanksgiving brings you an abundance of delight and smiles from morning until evening.
Here's what is coming up on today's show:
-I'll share with you a sampling of how the people of Greenwich observed the Thanksgiving holiday.
-One hundred years ago this month, what was then the "new" Glenville School opened.
-Joseph Guiseppe Christiano was one of Greenwich's early 20th century success stories. He was profiled in the town's local press a century ago. You'll hear how.
-Also one hundred years ago, a New Jersey party returning from the Yale-Princeton football game narrowly ran his car off the stone pier at the terminus of Steamboat Road near the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. (see above)
-A swindler from New York City tried to pass a bogus check at a Greenwich leather goods store. It did not end well for him.
-You'll hear about a source of "keen delight in winter" in Greenwich: the moonlight sleigh ride party.
-Uh oh! A pastor of the Second Congregational Church resigned in 1897, calling the people of Greenwich "incorrigible."
We'll have all this, news of events, and more as the show unfolds!
