Join Editor Betty N. Hoffman and company as they recount tales of Kid Kaplan, the Meriden Buzz Saw, who became boxing's 1925 Featherweight Champion of the World; the Lender family, who "bagelized America"; and the graceful personal service of Marlow's Department Store in Manchester to reveal a fascinating and intimate portrait of Jewish Connecticut.
