Here's a 'Turnback Tuesday' memory from 5 years ago today
This week's "Turnback Tuesday" pays honor to Daniel Waleski, Derby’s 1st “Citizen of the Year” proclaimed on July 1, 2011.
Dan was Derby’s most dedicated citizen, often playing his bugle in parades and ceremonies.
He attended seemingly every city meeting, always introducing himself as the “concerned citizen." Waleski was a Navy Veteran of WWII and a member of MMVET Post 43, American Legion, Catholic War Veterans and the Derby Historical Society.
Born on Dec. 9, 1924, Waleski died on April 9, 2014 at the age of 89.
