Description
-
Gladys Bowman was a descendant of an English tailor who arrived in Willimantic, CT shortly after the Civil War. She never worked in the city’s thread mills. Gladys was a teacher, one of the first degree recipients from the Willimantic State Teacher’s College. She possessed a deep knowledge of local history, and gave insights into the various districts of Willimantic, its various ethnic make up. Her French Canadian mother lived in “Cork Alley.” She recalled the “Tab,” and the famous dance bands that performed there.
