Please meet Rose Bernabucci. Rose was born and grew up in New Haven, CT. She studied aeronautics and won a flight scholarship while in High School, and served as a Sergeant in the Civil Air Patrol Cadets. Under the direction of Civil Air Patrol staff, Rose flew on a trip to Block Island as well as on shorter flights from Tweed Airport. Rose has retired from the advertising business where she ran her own company, Alden Art Associates of Prospect and Waterbury, CT. She is an artist and a member of the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, the Guilford Art Center and other art associations. One of her paintings "Icarus Landing" a "white on white abstract of the myth" was exhibited last year at the New Britain Museum of American Art. Rose also enjoys playing golf and is a member of the Laurel View 9 Hole Women's League. Rose, along with Jesse Dyson and Ethyl Papa- also Civil Air Patrol Cadets- were subjects of a short documentary on the Civil Air Patrol put together by Kevin McKernon and myself in 2008.
