Challenges: The Norwich State Hospital Closure with Unpublished Facts and Fallout

By Wilfred Zinavage

Challenges represent a rare-very rare-insight as to what went on in a mental institution.

It is intended to challenge you, the reader, to come and see for yourself the results of an institution shutdown over twenty years ago by the federal government. It also points out areas of interest to tourists to see for themselves the destruction of the city center and how it is trying to recover. It is meant for the policy decisionaEUR"makers and politicians and those who make the laws to see the results of what happened afterward.

It also represents how we, once again, have to learn from the Indians.

Wilfred Zinavage

Raised on a farm in Baltic, Connecticut, (near New London, "the submarine capital of the world"), Wilfred Zinavage joined the U.S. Navy at eighteen. Trained as an Aviation Electronics Technician, he became an air crew member and flew on the Navy's first nuclear bomber (the P2V-7 Neptune bomber). Hand-picked along with seventeen other specialists, he later became one of the Navy's first in-flight technicians on the world record-holding P3C aircraft. At the peak of his career, he was involved in several secret projects. He still suffers nightmares from his military experiences. After his twenty-year military career, Zinavage retired back to his home with his young family. As a civilian and until he retired once again, he held many titles. He was a first aid instructor, actor, songwriter, biomedical technician, and armed nuclear security officer, Town Selectman and even a write-in candidate for Lieutenant Governor. He earned a college degree from Eastern Connecticut State University in general studies and lacked nine credits from becoming an electronic engineer. In his spare time, he became a TV show co-host on public cable access television and stays active with the Vietnam Veterans of America and the American Legion. He has authored books entitled, The Zinavage Legacy and Challenges.
