Turnback Tuesday has a special treat today.
On June 24, 2026 Bradley School in Derby opened a Time Capsule that was created by John Ogle’s fifth grade class in 1976.
It was a beautiful day attended by John’s family, many students from the school, and from the community. Dr. Matthew Conway was master of ceremonies with Mayor Joseph DiMartino greeting all who attended.
John’s wife Linda did the honors of opening and showcasing what was inside. Linda was heard saying she was afraid that John had played a trick and snakes in a can would pop out. John Ogle was a teacher and basketball coach for the Derby Public Schools for 37 years.
The items retrieved from the Time Capsule are on display at Derby Public Library at the main Circulation Desk through the summer.

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