FEATURE STORY<br />
Bill and Susan hope that their nonprofit’s innovative approach will be<br />
included under veterans’ health care coverage.<br />
Meanwhile, the couple continues their other labor of love — “CT Valley<br />
Views,” the public-access TV show that features interviews with highprofile<br />
guests in the politics, business, education and medical arenas,<br />
along with wide-ranging cultural topics.<br />
The show has been televised for eight years — airing in 42 Connecticut<br />
towns and online at www.ctvalleyviews.com — and has received two sizable<br />
state grants for high-definition equipment.<br />
Further, the show has won two national Pegasus Awards for features on<br />
child trafficking and the Hill-Stead Museum.<br />
The couple’s community investment doesn’t stop there. Susan sponsors<br />
an annual fine arts scholarship in <strong>Granby</strong> and West Hartford — in<br />
memory of her mother, Sylvia Davis Patricelli — for a graduating high<br />
school senior pursuing a career in the creative field. For more info: www.<br />

Bill and Susan also visit Meadow Brook of <strong>Granby</strong>, a nursing home and<br />
rehabilitation center, with their Yorkshire terriers and puppies to cheer<br />
the residents and patients. Susan breeds American Kennel Club-registered<br />
Yorkies after previously breeding Jack Russell terriers.<br />
The animal-loving couple have five horses on their <strong>Granby</strong> property<br />
along with their Yorkies and two cats. They take in rescued and retired<br />
polo horses whose temperament<br />
blends well with the<br />
Foxfield program requisites.<br />
The couple often attends<br />
municipal meetings in<br />
<strong>Granby</strong> — Board of Selectmen,<br />
Board of Finance,<br />
Development Commission<br />
— so they can be informed<br />
about town budgets and<br />
planning.<br />
“We love the fact that we<br />
can be so involved in a town<br />
that has much to offer,”<br />
Susan affirms, “and that we<br />
can be part of its fabric to<br />
give back to those who have<br />
earned the support we wish<br />
to provide both rhetorically<br />
and in action.”<br />
