It's a charming town nestled off the Sauk River, a hidden gem with private beaches off the Long Island. Sound at its heart. It's a town of people of good people, of people who love where they live. But Westport, Connecticut is also known as the next stop in life for growing families. And they had a big house in Connecticut right across the street from Paul Newman and they had everything and they had a pool and a pool house. Joan work was 30 years old when she and her husband Craig moved their family from New York City to Westport in 1981. So he ran a furniture company and then she did interior design. Joan had a real talent decorating. The works had two young Children, Scott and Logan and they settled in a home on Coleytown Road. Family members say their lives were just getting started.
