Christine Houston: ‘Shelter Island has been the constant. It makes me so happy when I step on the ferry and realize I’m home.” (Credit: Courtesy photo)
Although Christine Houston grew up in Garden City, she had never heard of Shelter Island until she was invited to visit with friends, and then, she recalled recently, “I just fell in love with it. I didn’t want to leave.”
She and her husband rented a place in the Heights for three years while looking for their own home. But in late 1993, the international executive search consultancy in which she was a partner asked her to move to Asia.
