From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Dr. Frank P. McEnerney of Derby

















This week's "Turnback Tuesday" photo shows local dentist Dr. Frank P. McEnerney in his office that was located on Elizabeth Street across from the Commodore Hull Theater.

Dr. McEnerney was born in Derby and graduated Derby High School, Holy Cross College, and the University of Pennsylvania College of Dentistry. His framed credentials hang on the wall behind him in the photo's background.

Dr. McEnerney was also an active member of the Elks Lodge in Derby plus many other civic-minded groups in the Valley.

Note: this photo was donated by Dr. McEnerney's granddaughter, Geraldine Fallon, who currently serves on the Derby Public Library Board of Directors. Geraldine's mother, Frances Fallon, previously served on the Library Board for 50 years.
