Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island resident, Michael Stefanik was an American professional stock car racing driver? He competed mainly in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, but also made appearances in the Busch Grand National series and the Craftsman Truck Series. A seven-time champion in the Modified series, Stefanik was named the second greatest NASCAR Modified driver of all-time in 2003. His nine total championships tie him with Richie Evans for the most in NASCAR history. Stefanik is a member of the 2022 NASCAR Hall of Fame class.

Next, a fun event this week..

Tonight, Dr. G and The Believers will be playing at the Knickerbocker Music Center on Railroad Avenue in Westerly starting at 7:30 PM. They’ll be playing high energy, blues and upbeat music. Bring your dancing shoes.

Today we’re remembering the life of Cynthia "Cindy" Berg, of Pawcatuck

Born in New London, she was a lifelong resident of Stonington, attending local schools and was a graduate of Stonington High School class of 1975.

Cindy was most recently employed by the Stonington Community Center as the Thrift Shop Manager for 24 years, until her retirement in 2020. She always enjoyed seeing her regular customers and volunteers, many of whom she got to know very well over the years.

Cindy loved all things Stonington, living by the water and enjoyed reminiscing about her Portuguese heritage and growing up in "the Village". She was an avid New York Yankees and UCONN women's basketball fan.

She leaves her daughter, her husband, her son, her brother, her sister, a granddaughter, several nieces and nephews and her beloved dog, Scout.

She was predeceased in 2008 by her first husband.

Cindy's family would like to thank Hartford Health Care at Home for their care during her final months.

Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Cindy’s life.

That’s it for today, we’ll be back next time with more! Also, remember to check out our sponsor Perennial, Daily Gut & Brain, available at the CVS on Main St. in Wakefield!
