Rossi, Shine sign centennial books
Mayor Nancy R. Rossi and author Dan Shine sign a paperback copy of the new centennial book, “City of West Haven: Village to Town,” for Juliet Taylor, an Army veteran from Bridgeport, in the first-floor foyer of City Hall on Oct. 20. The $20 book, printed in partnership with GHP Media of West Haven, chronicles the stories and photos that shaped West Haven’s past 100 years. The information was sourced from the “Historian’s Corner” series written by Shine, one of the foremost authorities on West Haven history. The 116-page historical work, which has black-and-white and full-color photos, was commissioned by the City of West Haven Centennial Celebration Committee to commemorate West Haven’s 1921 birth and its incorporation by the General Assembly as Connecticut’s youngest town. Rossi, the committee’s honorary chairman, and Shine will sign more books from 5:30-7 p.m., Nov. 17 at the city’s Main Library, 300 Elm St. The book is also available for purchase in the Department of Human Resources at City Hall, 355 Main St., or by calling Commissioner Beth A. Sabo, the committee’s chairman, at (203) 937-3558.
