Downtown Derby came
to life last night during the 5th
Annual Derby High School All-Class reunion hosted by the City of Derby
Cultural Commission. Graduates from
1920 – 1959 took over the Derby Elks Lodge, 1960 – 1969
mobbed
Connie’s Restaurant, 1970 – 1979 landed at Frankie’s Grill, 1980 – 1989
was at Mario’s Café, and 1990 and after was headquartered at RJ’s Café.
The
All-Class Reunion began when Derby Mayor Marc Garofalo challenged the
Cultural Commission to come up with an idea to get people to the
Downtown area. The chairman at that time, Randy Ritter, decided to have
the area business owners host each decade of graduates from Derby High
School. All the businesses are within walking distance of each other
except for Frankie’s and we encourage each decade of graduates to visit
each establishment. From the very first year this has been successful
and each year we seem to draw more and more people, it is definitely
become one of the Cultural Commission's most successful events!
Do you have a class picture from your years in
Derby? We are looking for pictures of graduating classes at Derby High
and the public and parochial elementary schools to publish on the web
site in a new area that will be called "Generations Derby." Please
e-mail a digital copy to
derbyct@comcast.net.
Check out the Class of '64 here.
They have their 40th reunion coming in November.
