CONTRIBUTEDHere is a photo from a Mayor For The Day’ event Thursday featuring Mayor David Cassetti and longtime Ansonia resident and volunteer Alfonso Smith.

Smith, 90, served during World War II as a combat Veteran in Germany and received many citations, including the Bronze Star.

He was also a semi-pro baseball player, and worked for the Post Office as a letter carrier for 30 years.

He has also served on Ansonia’s Recreation Commission for decades, and was re-appointed this month by Aldermen for another term.
