Tell us about your hometown.

8. My home now and for 36 years is New Haven, CT. I absolutely love living here in a very deep blue

state where we have great history and Yale.

I am a 3rd generation Texan and was born and raised in Dallas. When I left for college I never went back except for visits. JFK's assassination there crushed me emotionally.

Full circle, however. My oldest granddaughter has moved to Austin for career and weather purposes. I have deep family roots in Austin where so many members on my father's side lived and thrived.
