Some 35 years ago, when Patty Prime and her husband, Richard Linster, moved into their home in Madison’s Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood, it wasn’t quite the kind of area where families were clamoring to live.

After a career in information technology, Prime began devoting much of her time to the neighborhood, including five years as the neighborhood association president, leading it through recent years of growth and development that quickly transformed the East Washington Avenue corridor that passes through the area. Entire blocks have changed from car lots to high-rise apartments, office space, and retail and dining, and venerable Breese Stevens Field has emerged as a venue for soccer, outdoor concerts and other events.
