College multimedia instructor
Christine
Hanson – who prefers to be
called by her artistic name Xtine
– recalls that it started
with a yen for a cup of coffee
during a visit to New York.
“Here I was in SoHo, this
community with such an artistic
spirit and an identity as a hip,
creative place...but I could not
find a coffee house other than
Starbucks,” she said.
From
small disappointments, revolutions
can be born.

A
volunteer job that
pays really well
The
pager could go off at anytime of the day
or night. A small aircraft or a hiker
is missing. Or, there is a confidential
homeland security issue. When those situations
arise, the call often goes to Denise Edwards.
As an incident commander for the auxiliary
of the United States Air Force Civil Air
Patrol, Edwards often plays a central
role in such incidents.
