    Thanks for all your hard work. I hunted the web high and low for a photo of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Westbrook. Your photo was the one and only photo I could find. And a nice one at that. Thanks for sharing.

    First time I found your site.  I loved viewing the pictures of New Britain.  I was born and grew up there during the times of prosperity 1952-1970.  The city, at that time was a miniature "New York".  I was so fortunate to be there at that time.  Thanks so very much for all the memories.

    Hello Jerry,
        I was just on a nostalgic journey through your photographs of the Ashford anniversary quilts.  I would like to ask you for copies of your photos # 2 - 275th, # 16 - women's club, # 29 - bicentennial, and # 74 - Ashford framing.  I made the blocks listed here in each of their respective quilts and did not have the forethought to photograph them at the time they were made. The quilts are in prolonged storage and not readily available for photographing.  I would appreciate your granting my request  Thank you for your time.  Linda J Gardner, Ashford, CT

    Great photos of the sites in Lebanon, CT. Lots of great memories dating back to the mid 50's. Although I am 90 miles away I will always love Lebanon and miss the town. Hope to return some day.

    Hi Jerry, I stumbled upon your photos of Simsbury, CT this past weekend.  There is group on Facebook - "I grew up in Simsbury, CT" @ http://www.facebook.com/groups/270786369604473/.  You have some beautiful photos of Simsbury sights and landmarks- I mentioned your photos of the town on the Facebook page and everyone has commented on how great these are. Thanks for sharing them.  Those of us who have left our hometown have really enjoyed these photos!  I was wondering if you would allow me to download a few of the photos so I can share some of my memories with my sons?  Many thanks!

    Thanks Jerry.  I am from Hoboken.  I lived there from 1952(Birth yr) until 1960.  I attended David E. Rue, A.J. Demerast and Hoboken High (graduated in 69)  It was great taking a trip through time.  I will be back to visit.

    Hi, Jerry.  Thanks for a grand trip through a town in which I lived, 1942-46.  My father was the Universalist minister, and we lived in the parsonage which was up the hill past the church, as I recall.

    Hi Jerry, this is a wonderful group of images of our fair state - you've really covered a lot of ground!  I'm the Librarian for the Clinton Historical Society and wonder if we can have your permission to download these excellent pictures of our town for the library's archives.  We would credit you as photographer, of course.  Thanks for sharing such beautiful work!

    Jerry, I left Broad Brook in 1965, currently live in Maryland. I am preparing a Power Point of my childhood in Broad Brook for my German class. (Need to incorporate past tense.) Your photos of my childhood village bring back many memories. I'm not especially computer literate and wonder if I can incorporate some of them in my presentation? You've done a beautiful job.

    Thank you for all of your work.  I visited Connecticut in 2005 doing genealogy work and plan to come again.  The scope of your work shows that you love your historic state.
