| Chris, "Michael," Elizabeth and Summer. Zoo Fieldtrip for Dr. Harden's Intro to Anthro Course, Spring, 2001. |
| I remember the first time I ever talked to Summer Staples. It was freshman orientation week at Seattle University. I saw her nametag hanging off of her cute little shoulder bag, and I said something stupid like, "I like your name, derherhn." After saying that, I had never felt so stupid in all my life. WHAT LOSER SAYS "I LIKE YOUR NAME, DERHERHN"???!?!? We met later, though, through a mutual friend, and we clicked. We both look back on the first time we met and laugh our asses off. Summer's down-to-Earth attitude about the human condition is entertaining, refreshing and inspiring. You may find her at a rock concert, blowing off some Anthropology homework, but enjoying her secret life as a hardcore, full-on, knock-down, drag-out groupie/roadie. She also makes a killer protein-packer salad. Je t'aime, ma chere Ete!! |
