No connection to Yale, but to work in social services (where both hubby and I worked before retiring but still in CT). We greatly enjoyed the cultural life there and and felt comfortable as liberal Democrats. We now live in a retirement community near New Haven and enjoy the company of many other liberal Dems. My kids all live in blue cities (NYC, LA and Boston) and one grandkid is in Austin, TX.
