<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 470281, member: 136&quot;]Well, I have not heard back from Ms Carley, but I did find out that Risdon had a Naugatuck location at one time...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sav, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if there were other copies of that photo out there.

I read the <i>NewsTimes</i> online every day (believe me, it doesn&#039;t take long!) but I suppose I could have missed it. I couldn&#039;t find it in their archives today, but that really doesn&#039;t mean anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for ball bearings, no, I don&#039;t think so.

(My dad owned the building &amp; lumber supply business that used to be next door to it, on Crosby St, where the Brookview Commons apartments and a condo complex are located today.) We used to pick up ball bearings off the ground nearby when I was a kid. I still have a couple of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
