Dean Morrisett is fitting in well as a Roosevelt Islander, using the Red Bus, eating at Nisi and marveling at his East River view. Also, his wife Tania, who he describes as the "fun person" in the family, is getting involved in the community as a Board Member of the Roosevelt Island Historical Society.
