'Turnback Tuesday' seeks to ID people in Derby's 300th anniversary photo

Turnback Tuesday brings us back to the Derby Tercentenary Celebration in 1975. 
The 10-day event took two and half years to plan with hundreds of volunteers of all ages. Pictured on parade day from left:
Mayor Francis Kelley of Shelton, Mayor Michael Adanti of Ansonia, Attorney General Carl Ajello, and Seymour First Selectwoman Anna LoPresti. 
If anyone knows who the woman on the right is, please let us know. The Library has a book of photos from the 300th Celebration and need help identifying her and other people. 
Please contact the Derby Public Library if you can help. Thank you.


Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
