a then-budding insurance industry in the State of Connecticut. She also came up with the concept of housing workers. A large number

the people in the area: Larry Dooley of Colt Gateway; the Church of the
Good Shepherd; the Sheldon Charter Oak neighborhood groups; and, of
course, the current mayor, Mayor Bronin; and Governor Malloy.
