We all remember bosses we've had over the years. But some bosses, for one reason or another, stand out above the rest. Christy Bulkeley was one of those bosses. Christy was the young publisher at the small Upstate New York newspaper where I worked 35 years ago, one of the first female publishers in the USA. I was green as a reporter.  A feminist of the first order, she believed women were equal to men, that newspapers could be run by women. More than a few old newspapermen didn't believe what Christy believed, and I'll make it clear that we didn't always get along. The maddest I ever saw her was when I wrote a profile of Helen Hayes, referring to the famous actress as Miss Hayes. She went angry. The title "Miss" was forbidden at the newspaper. Christy was a Ms and would remain one, even after marrying.  She stood out in a crowd, which perhaps was what made her seem awkward in social settings. She had short red hair, smoked cigarettes that swung from her very long fingers, and dressed in a style all her own.  She also had the habit of crossing her fingers if you were talking to her. Obviously it reminded her to ask a certain question once you were done talking. It seemed to work for her.  But she was always fair, she praised good work, was happy when the staff put out an extra effort. She was a good sport, too. Every Halloween I had a party. One year I dressed as Christy. I wore a red wig. I smoked a cigarette. I found a pair of knee high boots and a flowered blouse and I walked around with crossed fingers. It was an annual event where many arrived uninvited. I never knew who would show up. It was a night of surprises, and what a surprise it was when Christy appeared at my door. I stared at her. She stared at me, then broke the silence. "The blouse is all wrong," she said.
