My father, Edgar Geibel was the chief adminstrator of the Stamford Hospital in 1955 when Hurricane Connie, and then Diane, hit Stamford in August within the span of a week. My family lived in a Victorian house (since torn down) right next to the hospital. He sent a long letter to all his out-of-state friends afterwards about what he saw that week - the flooding of the Mill River, cars stuck in roads, trees down. I still have a copy of the letter. He worked round the clock at the hospital, as did all the hospital staff, as people came through the doors -this was just in the beginning days of t.v., and radio (and the Advocate) still reigned supreme as the source of news.
