This is terrible! I hate to be the bearer of morbid news (unless it’s about cemeteries, which to me is not morbid), but we lost another champion of history here in the state of Connecticut. This week we have lost Bruce Fraser to cancer. He was 62.
Read about him at the Hartford Courant here and here.
He was the executive director of the Connecticut Humanities Council and did a lot for Connecticut history and its tourist industry. Almost everything I saw around Connecticut involving culture, history, and tourism had his name on it. By all accounts he was passionate about history and was a man who rolled up his sleeves and got personally involved.
They say that notable deaths come in threes. Hopefully, this will be the last one. Connecticut cannot afford to lose such talent.
