Both Eleanor and Dawson Einarson were huge influences on me as a teenager. While babysitting the girls for a summer when they moved to Kingston, they encouraged me to pursue my nursing career by getting a degree at Queens rather than just attending a nursing school. They truly adopted me into their family, guiding me to aspire to broader goals at a time when I didn't listen to my own parents as well as I should have. Creative, kind, ethical, organized, calm: these are some of the things I remember about Eleanor; so I appreciated these attributes and tried to follow her example. I also remember teasing her that her coffee was always only half drunk and cold -she had a busy life! My condolences go out to the family.
