On Greenwich Life As It Is-And Was, Erwin Edwards shared the news of the Year 1919 bell in the steeple of the Second Congregational Church presented on Easter Sunday by Charles N. Mead -and previous bells, too. 




Greenwich's Police Department was founded in 1906. History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds, which will be shared on Crime and Misdemeanors. On today's show? Highway robbery in Glenville.
