| Harold B. Yudkin |
Turnback Tuesday salutes a man whose love of history will always be remembered at the Derby Public Library.
Harold B. Yudkin was born and raised in Derby.
After graduating high school in 1928, he later enlisted into the Army Air Corps and served during WWII.
After passing the CT Bar in 1938, Harold was a successful lawyer for 60+ years. Upon his retirement, Yudkin turned his attention to history by writing and giving lectures at the Derby Public Library.
In 2006, Selma Yudkin donated money to the Library in memory of her husband.
And thanks to the Harold B. Yudkin Historic Fund, the Library is able to preserve the many treasures here as well as those received in the future.
A big thank you goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history with the community each week.
