Connecticut Characters: 101 Memorable Profiles is a collection of
the most popular profiles and colorful accounts written by
long-time columnist Randall Beach. His columns were written over a
span of 40 years and are fondly remembered by many New Haven
Register readers. When Randall began writing the column, some of
his newsroom colleagues dubbed the subjects “creep of the week”
because often the subjects were so odd and eccentric. But none of
them were “creeps;” they simply had a different way of looking
at the world and of living. He always strove to give them dignity
along with recognition. His writings always strike an affectionate
tone and are often humorous, but never mocking. The individuals
that he wrote were from all over Connecticut––well beyond the
New Haven area. The collection focuses on some well-known people,
such as former Yale University President A. Bartlett Giamatti, but
mostly the profiles are of people, some colorful, who are part of
the fabric of the state. It’s a remarkable and fascinating
collection of profiles about people from all different walks of
life around Connecticut.
