The Sunday New Haven Register published a valuable and educational supplement titled: “The 125 Most Influential People in Connecticut History.” One person who should have been included was Abraham A. Ribicoff. Ribicoff was born in 1910 and died in 1998. He had a distinguished political career as a United States senator, congressman, governor of Connecticut, judge and was President John F. Kennedy’s Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. It should also be noted that Ribicoff was the first and only Connecticut governor of the Jewish faith.
