Louis Mingione, a retired firefighter and East Haven resident, would like to rebuild the Foxon Park Honor Roll that once stood opposite his residence at 109 Old Foxon Road. The Honor Roll, shown in the photo above, was constructed in the early 1940s and listed the names of Foxon residents who served in World War II.
The reconstucted Honor Roll will stand at 97 Old Foxon Road, at the corner of Rose and Brennan streets, and will again list the names of those who served from Foxon in second world war.
Steve Karjanis, of Karjanis & Sons Motors at 97 Old Foxon Road, is donating the property on which the Honor Roll will be constructed.
Any information or pictures concerning the original Foxon Honor Roll would be deeply appreciated, as would any contributions toward the reconstruction. Checks may be made out to Citizens Bank-Foxon Park Honor Roll and sent to Citizens Bank, 430 Foxon Road, East Haven, Conn., 06513. For those who may have information on the Foxon Park Honor Roll, Mr. Mingione would like to be contacted at 203.469.1824.
