Fedele, Son of Italian Immigrants, Is Going Back to the ‘Hood

 

 Lt. Gov. Mike Fedele, who grew up on the West Side of Stamford and now lives in North Stamford, will be back back to the old neighborhood this afternoon during a 4 p.m. rally for  the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2010.

 Fedele, the 54-year-old son of Italian immigrants, will be in the Yerwood Center on Stamford’s Fairfield Avenue, where he received his elementary education when it was called Stevens School. “That’s my neighborhood, the neighborhood I grew up in and actually my headquarters for my business is located in that neighborhood,” Fedele told reporters in the Cromwell Crowne Plaza hotel announcing his gubernatorial candidacy to about 100 business executives.
