Legendary Locals of Middletown
Although the town benefits from a position on a major navigable waterway, Middletown's success is primarily due to the energy, creativity, and diversity of its people. These include James Riley, whose autobiography detailing his trials as a white slave in Northern Africa showed millions of Americans the evils of slavery; Max Corvo, who helped the World War II Italian underground defeat the fascist regime; and Christie Ellen McLeod, longtime chief pathologist at Middlesex Memorial Hospital. Middletown can boast of athletes such as Helen "Babe" Carlson, a tremendously strong competitor who participated on men's baseball teams; Willie Pep, who, while going for the world featherweight title, had a record of 134 wins and only one loss; and Corny Thompson, who sparked the University of Connecticut basketball program's rise to national prominence. More notables include Allie Wrubel, a prolific songwriter and Academy Award winner for his song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah;" Vivian McRae Wesley, a teacher, reading director, and leader of Middletown's African American community; and Francesco Lentini, who was born with three legs and appeared in every major circus and carnival.

The Prince Who Did Not Want to Be King
The Prince Who Did Not Want to Be King is a fairy tale about a king who wants to retire but cant decide which of his four sons should succeed him. The three oldest boys initiate projects intended to impress their father, but the youngest son just wants to stay out of trouble and not do anything to bring shame upon his family or country. Instead, he wants to do something each day to make his country a better place to live and raise a family. The story is rich with thieves and villains, a dragon, a wise old man, a king, knights, princes, and a horse that seems to talk. Adults should read this with children aged 8 to 12 and discuss it with them to develop a biblical world view.
