Connie Rowing

A photo collage from 2003. This is my friend, neighbor, advisor, the beloved anthropologist Connie Sutton. She was at her most blissful when rowing, which she'd done competitively in college. It was the highlight of my summers to accompany her, or later when she was unable, to row her across the lake. Connie passed yesterday morning, August 23, 2018, peacefully and surrounded by family. I like to think that in her mind she was once again, on her own,  rowing to the other side. Farewell dear friend.
