EAST HAVEN, Conn. — Carmine Riccitelli had a very special delivery to make on Monday. And the important task took the longtime East Haven firefighter from here along the Connecticut shoreline all the way down the coast to the bustling piers of the Port of Baltimore.
The good news: the delivery was successfully made. The bad news: Riccitelli was now going to need a ride back home.
