Requests for Personal Involvement with History

Middletown historian Liz Warner is seeking people who were alive and involved at certain important times in local, regional and national history. Here's her request:

I am hoping to find some Middletown residents who were here during the Hurricane of 1938 or who were involved in activities related to the Civil Rights Movement in the 60s. I have current 8th-grade students doing research on these topics and I'd love them to gain some data via first-hand accounts. Other students might need some information and guidance on Metro Square, the town's early movie theaters, the Negro baseball league in town.... There are more but let's see what response these get. Please let me know if you have info to share. The kids would love it.
