Yes, that awful accident happened last July 29 in Avon, CT. Sadly the husband of someone my husband knew was killed in that accident... he left behind his wife and five little girls. Someone I worked with years ago was injured in the accident, but made it out alive without any life-threatening injuries. Here are two threads about the accident:
Oh, OK--thanks for the info and yes it was tragic. Sorry to hear that the husband of someone your husband knew was killed, etc.
If I remember right, I was staying the night before in Southington and I stopped in Hartford and picked up some tourist info
including directions to the Rock Cats game in New Britain.
I had been there before but was uncertain. As it turned out,
there were torrential downpours so the game was called off
(and I made a stupid attempt to try and make it to N.B.
and got caught up in all that rain).
I think the next day I saw the Conn. Historical Museum
and also went to the Roaring Brook nature center in Avon,
just before the Dakota.
Salisbury Steak--ha!
I have been to the Dakotas in Avon, CT and Pittsfield, MA
and also the locations in Vermont (Shelburne, Rutland,
Manchester), only they're known as Sirloin Saloon there.
Good salad bar.
