Connie Coleman is my best friend, partner, and wife. We have been a couple since 1975. When I first met her she was "Artist in Residence" for the state of Rhode Island. She taught crafts in Men's Maximum Security Prison. Her personal body guard was a hit man for the New England Mafia. I am attracted to dangerous relationships. Connie is a person who strives for perfection and has an iron will. Her greatest joy is home, our gardens, and the ocean on a stormy day.
