Good morning, Bristol!

We bet you’re glad you didn’t put all your sweatshirts away; it was pretty nippy yesterday.

But today will be much better, we hope.

Monday forecast

Mostly cloudy in the morning, followed by a sunnier afternoon. High around 70. North winds 10-15 m.p.h.

Softball showdown in West Haven

Bristol Central faces Jonathon Law tonight at 7 p.m. in a state tournament semi-final. (See Mike Letendre’s articles previewing the game.)

June 5 in history

In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan.

In 1956, Elvis Presley first performs “Hound Dog” live on TV. (In a little-known tidbit, his drummer that night was TBE’s own Rit Carter.)

Monday trivia question

Who had the record for most appearances in the center square on The Hollywood Squares?

That’s all, folks. Talk to you tomorrow. Set your alarms for 7 a.m.


All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
