About The Authors
Carolyn and Jerry Anderson
At what age does one discover that the ordinary is
extraordinary? For Jerry and Carolyn Anderson, it was when they returned
to Greenwich. Jerry had been away at Harvard as an undergraduate, and
then as a graduate at Columbia where he received his Masters in Business
and Doctorate in Law. Carolyn had been at Boston University as an
undergraduate and then at Columbia where she received her Masters. Jerry
and Carolyn were introduced by a Greenwich friend, married, and in 1968
they bought their home on Clapboard Ridge Road in Greenwich. No other
town was ever considered.
Jerry grew up in Deer Park and went to Brunswick. His youth was filled with sailing on the sound, playing tennis in the town tournaments and working on homework in the Greenwich Library. He learned to drive when Greenwich Avenue was a two-way street and dance lessons still required white gloves for boys as well as girls.
Carolyn is the President of Anderson Associates, a real estate firm specializing in Greenwich residential properties. She is a licensed appraiser and a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers. Prior to opening Anderson Associates, she designed and renovated many restaurants and residences in Greenwich. In her spare time, she writes cookbooks. Jerry and Carolyn rarely miss a new restaurant.
Their children, Clifford and Cheryl, were born in Greenwich Hospital. They thrived in the public school system, which launched them to successful academic careers at Harvard and Princeton. Cheryl and Clifford enjoyed the benefits of Greenwich's many resources: water babies at the Y, scouting, running in town races, camping on Great Captain's Island and visiting the wonderful exhibits at Bruce Museum.
However, this book is not just the work of Carolyn and Jerry. It is the product of all of the Anderson Associates. The Anderson Associates are a diverse group. They are all ages and lifestyles, with one interest in common - Greenwich. They live in, work in and love Greenwich. Most grew up and went to school in Greenwich. Each in their own way, has come to the realization that Greenwich is extraordinary.
