Citizen of the Year Award - William Harris

Citizen of the Year Award - William Harris
The Citizen of the Year Award is presented to a citizen who has provided outstanding service to our community. We express our appreciation for the dedication and contributions that have been put forth by these individuals.

William Harris was born in Baltimore; raised in Syracuse; degree in Classics 1973 from Yale; M.D. SUNY 1977; residency-trained and board-certified in Family Medicine 1980. We finally escaped the dreadful weather in Syracuse by moving to CT for post-graduate training.

Charlene and Bill had some choices for residency training and decided on central CT because they liked the area after traveling frequently between Boston and New Haven during college. Windsor has been a lovely place to live and work. It always seemed like a small town to them although having a population of 30,000.

Since retirement in 2005 after practicing in town for 25 years has spent his time with nonprofit groups and various other volunteer activities, some medical but most not - including the Windsor Historical Society, Friends of Northwest Park, Windsor Art Center, Windsor Library Association, Oliver Ellsworth Homestead
