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.
