I, purposely, will adjust my focus

As well as, modify those whom I associate with.

So as to realign myself
with the positive rhythms of life.
Therefore, it was at the turn of the seasons
on 22 September 1996
and when summer metamorphorsed into autumn
that I shfted my foci, decidely.

Hi,
Eason Simmons was a dear friend at Hartwick College. We met fall semester of our freshman year (1972) in Intensive French. Eason and I spent a term in Paris in the winter of 1974. We spent a lot of time dancing and went to Amsterdam together. Eason encouraged me to pledge one sorority rather than another, and it was good advice. He came to two sorority formals with me. He did not like the fellow I dated and eventually married. Eason liked my high school boyfriend, and I think he would be happy that we got back together after twenty years.
Thanks for your story about him. I can see those blue eyes and curly red hair.
Your photographs are beautiful!!
Peace,
Nancy Grimley Erickson
