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 />
