Clair's Italian Garden

Dick Kelly has never stopped giving to Windham
It's about time we recognize him

Italian Garden, a fixture on Main St Willimantic for over fifty years was known for the best pizza and pasta in our world. It was common occurrence to see several tour buses parked in front of the restaurant. Usually alighting, visiting athletes on their way or leaving an UConn athletic event. Big East Basketball teams seem to camp out at IG's especially if the couches last name was Pitino. Massimino or Carnescsca.

Between 1975 and 1985 Claire Meikle served up the best pasta and salads seven days a week Along with friendly advice, a big smile and a little gossip she managed to keep a constant flow of hungry customers happy, In addition she recorded the coming and going of her most favorite customers with her Kodak Pocket Instamatic.

Today we add the 16th batch of nearly 1400 photos that Clair will share with us. Please help us identify the unknowns in the comment section. Thankyou

Flickr, the  company that provides the software for Claire's Italian Garden, has changed the format and just about everything else of this site. You may notice that it runs slower and there are an assortment of problems. For this we say sorry but can't do anything about it.  Hopefully thing improve and they go back to the old Flickr. Thankyou
