Christopher Columbus wouldn't have believed his eyes. A flotilla of marching bands, fife and drum corps, fire engines, beauty-queen cars, ambulances, banner-bearers, motorcyclists, honor guards and Shriners on little cars navigated through West Haven Sunday afternoon in the Italian explorer's honor. Paraders from West Haven, New Haven, Hamden, North Haven and Branford appeared proud to march, strut and drive down Campbell Avenue past the reviewing stand and West Haven Mayor John M.
