GMB playing hurt today and looks like the weekend is a gametime decision.
Speaking of today’s weather, 63 and sunny. Whoa, Nellie!
Sept. 30
On Sept. 30, 1898, Bristol held a peace celebration for the Bristol boys returning from the Spanish American War.
Beginning at 1 p.m. a parade started from Main to North Main to Maple and to the green. The honorable Joseph R. Hawley and Colonel Norris C. Osborn addressed the assembled crowd.
Dinner was at 5:30 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. the most elaborate fireworks display ever given in Bristol.
On Sept. 30, 1940, Winston Churchill was on the cover of TIME.
1974, Tom Clements of Notre Dame was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Huh?
I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
Yup, that sums it up.
Good luck and be careful
Hopefully, we see you next week. In the meantime, be sexy, Bristol!
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
