The New Haven Register (afternoon) and Journal Courier (morning) was the major newspaper to read in Southern Connecticut back then, and my cousin got a lot of publicity. Lots of businesses showered my aunt, uncle, and new baby with lots of gifts (diapers, baby clothes, baby toys, baby food, formula, baby furniture, groceries, etc.), that they really needed with ten kids and my aunt not working (it was her job to take care of the ten kids, my uncle was an electrician).
