His columns were written over a span of 40 years and are fondly remembered by many New Haven Register readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a remarkable and fascinating collection of people from all different walks of life around Connecticut. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randall Beach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493071815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493071814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Randall Beach","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071511523583,"sku":"9781493071814","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1e4b0f2-68d8-4f1e-8293-e702b9722a52.jpg?v=1685436533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/connecticut-characters-randall-beach-9781493071814","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
