Ferguson Library

The non-profit Association of BellTel Retirees, Inc. has selected the City of Stamford, CT as the location for its 30th anniversary membership meeting, to take place on Wednesday, May 20 beginning at 10:30 am in the Ann Sexton Board Room of the Ferguson Library, located at 1 Public Library Plaza (Intersection Broad &amp; Bedford Streets).
Members that wish to attend must RSVP using the following link or by contacting the Association of BellTel Retirees office by email at association@belltelretirees.org or by phone at (631) 367-3067.
Keynote speakers will include John Rowley, Sr, Business Manager, IBEW Local 2324 and Attorney Edward Stone, Executive Director of Retirees for Justice. Leaders of the nonprofit association will address retirees’ concerns about the safety and security of retiree pensions being offloaded to insurers, annuity providers and private equity firms, and about the dramatic cost increase for retiree healthcare benefits. The event promises to be an opportunity for retirees to obtain critical information about the protection of their earned benefits and connect with former co-workers.
Founded in 1996 by Bell System retirees, the organization seeks to protect the retirement and health benefits for all communication industry retirees, surviving spouses and current employees. In January, Frontier Communications, which was long based in Fairfield County and built upon the Southern New England Telephone (SNET) network, was acquired by Verizon for $20 billion. In the weeks leading up to the completion of the merger, Verizon laid off 13,000 of its workers,
Much of Connecticut was historically in the SNET coverage area, but with mergers, that company’s assets and employee network became Frontier Communications in 2014. In several transactions, including in 2010 and 2016, Verizon sold off regional communication assets to Frontier, including those across 17 states. By bringing its annual meeting to Stamford, retirees and union leaders seek to build a bridge between retirees of both companies who share a common heritage and now a common fight to preserve their retirement security.
Among the event speakers:
John Rowley, Sr, is Business Manager, IBEW L-2324 in Western Massachusetts. Rowley recently led a landmark Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) study of toxic lead sediments in manholes and the extremely dangerous workplace exposures from environmental-lead toxicity, impacting the lives of tens-of-thousands of industry workers and countless retirees previously exposed over the decades.
Edward Stone is a Fairfield County-based legal expert working to protect retirees’ earned pension benefits from Pension Risk Transfers (PRT). A PRT occurs when corporations walk away from their fiduciary responsibility for retiree pensions, transferring those to investors, including insurers, annuity firms and private equity firms. Stone is currently counsel for several litigations related to the December 2025 collapse of Connecticut insurer PHL Variable, causing thousands of policyholders and families with annuities to be left with pennies on the dollar. Stone will discuss the recent developments of this and other cases relating to pension risk transfers from the retirees’ perspective.
An RSVP is necessary to attend the event. Members can RSVP through the following link or by contacting the Association of BellTel Retirees office by email at association@belltelretirees.org or by phone at (631) 367-3067.

A conversation with professor and author Robert M. Dowling, who will discuss his biography, Coyote: The Dramatic Lives of Sam Shepard, the story of the theater and film icon. Catherine Shen, host of Where We Live, Connecticut Public's flagship talk show, will moderate the conversation.
In Coyote,
 we learn about Shepard, who became an embodiment of the fierce 
independence and wild freedom of the American West. Taking us from the 
creative explosion of downtown New York City in the 1960s to Bob Dylan’s
 legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour, from Hollywood backlots and film 
shoots in the Mojave Desert to the horse ranches where Shepard went to 
escape it all, Robert M. Dowling’s biography reveals this playwright, 
actor and filmmaker as we’ve never known him before.
The first 50 registrants will received a complimentary copy of Coyote: The Dramatic Lives of Sam Shepard by Robert M. Dowling.
Pre-Reception from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
Book sale and signing by Elm Street Books.
Registration <a href="https://www.fergusonlibrary.org/event/where-we-read-author-robert-dowling-85062" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">required here</a>.
Robert M. Dowling, professor of English at Central Connecticut State University, is the author of Slumming in New York: From the Waterfront to Mythic Harlem and the biography Eugene O’Neill: A Life in Four Acts, which was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist for biography in 2015. He also co-edited the 2021 compendium of interviews Conversations with Sam Shepard. As an authority on American drama, he has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Boston Globe, among other outlets. He serves on the editorial board of The Eugene O’Neill Review and is an elected board member of the Eugene O’Neill Society, where he also served as president from 2018 to 2021.
Where We Live
 features in-depth conversations and stories beyond news headlines. As a
 moderator for this event, Shen brings a trusted voice, a passion for 
literature, and a statewide audience. Inspired by many author conversations hosted on the show, the Where We Live&nbsp;team recently launched Where We Read,
 a community-focused initiative for avid readers and the literary 
curious, featuring author events, reader meet-ups, and a monthly 
newsletter highlighting author interviews and literary conversations 
from across Connecticut Public.
Presented in partnership with CT Public Media as part of their recently launched Where We Read series.&nbsp; The event is made possible by a grant from the Rotary Club of Stamford.
