Hallquist, 59, had already revealed her lifelong secret to family and friends when Christine went public in a September WCAX news story about the decision to change gender expression, from male to female. The onlookers shouldn't have been totally surprised. But he described the overall reaction as "intrigue and some fascination" with "zero condemnation." Kerrick Johnson, vice president of Vermont Electric Power, said he noticed some in the crowd doing double takes when they saw Christine. Hallquist was literally on display at the annual energy conference that attracts power people from every corner of Vermont, most of whom were acquainted with Dave. Hallquist added, "I don't think you would have liked Dave as much." Hallquist apologized for not being able to prepare her during the job interview, noting that Cohen had barely gotten to know Dave before Christine came into the picture. Similarly good-natured was an exchange between Hallquist and VEC lobbyist Andrea Cohen, whom the CEO hired this past spring.
Green Mountain Power spokesman Kristin Carlson gave Christine a hug. Tony Klein came over and joked that Christine must be Hallquist's sister.
