AUBURN, Ala. — They'll be loading up the buses in Waterbury and hitting the road to see one of their favorite sons play college basketball this week.

Mustapha Heron, a champion in basketball and so much more, is back in his home state of Connecticut, playing for Auburn University, to be sure, and being close to where he and his father are known for a grade-school reading program that has energized many.

So impressive is Heron that he once addressed the Connecticut general assembly to thank state legislators for their support in the Waterbury area.
