Eric's Story

I have posted this profile in honor of my Beloved brother Eric Field (class of 1971)who passed away in the year 2000. I know that if Classmates.com was up and running then, he would have loved to have joined, to try and track down old friends. I know he was trying to find some of his old friends before he died suddenly at the age of 47 of a heart attack. My brother was a very unique person. Life was always very rough on him but he managed to make the best of it while he was here. He joined the Army in 1972 (Viet Nam era-tail-end) and was honorably discharged in 1979. He was an Airborne Ranger/Paratrooper. I alway admired him for jumping out of airplanes.

oved to hunt, fish, cook, read, write and wood & stone carving. He was proud of his Cherokee Indian Herritage. He carved the most intricate and beautiful Indian Jewelry and weapons; Tomahawks, Spears, Clubs, Bow and Arrows and Arrowheads. He wrote beautiful Poetry and stories. He was very devoted to his friends and loved ones. He was married to his wife Sharon for 18 years and had a step-daughter named Shezann. I love and miss my brother very much and would love to hear stories from those who knew him. Please feel free to share. Before he died, he was looking for Danny Garoutte, John Ledford, Anthony Mansfield, Gerry Morris, Marry Webber and Michelle Curriston. My brother's favorite poem: A Butterfly has wings of Gold, a Moth has wings of flame, an inch worm, he has no wings at all, but he gets there just the same. Tribute to Eric L Field was written by his loving sister Susan Field Burton Class of 1975.
