Hope Street, Glenbrook, CT

Holding a master’s degree in linguistics, Christie served on the staff of Wigwag, a short-lived general interest magazine in 1989-1990, one of a variegated range of pursuits over the years: “I’ve done a lot of things but not one thing for very long. I recently found my Pan Am stewardess uniform in a trunk in the basement. What’s that thing pinned to the blouse? Oh yes, the cockpit key.” Currently, she is founder and president of Stamford's Glenbrook Neighborhood Association.
