5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful stories in the tradition of Charles Kuralt,
By A Customer
This review is from: Positively Connecticut: Selected Stories from the Award-Winning WTNH-TV Series (Paperback)
This book tells us a lot about what is wonderful about living in this part of country. Smith finds people like a man who make wooden toys for sick kids in local hospitals, a personal trainer who volunteers his time to the elderly, the "Nut Lady" who runs the state's only museum dedicated to praising the Nut, etc. She also covers stories over a number of years, something that's rare in news: the New Haven society that started over 10 years ago to erect a monument to the slave ship Amistad; and the retirees who got together to restore a vintage "flying boat".

Great stories tell about the wonder that is Connecticut.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Positively Connecticut: Selected Stories from the Award-Winning WTNH-TV Series (Paperback)
I loved the stories, especially about the dog hair wearables. I've seen some of them over the years on WTNH and the book has the same local feel. Diane was our guest speaker at the Connecticut Junior Women's Spring conference and was wonderful. She is a natural storyteller & I'm looking forward to a follow-up book!!
