About Me

I am a retired executive and university professor. My wife and I have been coming to Sarasota since 1992. We purchased a small villa in North Sarasota in 2003. We summer in the Finger Lakes area of New York State. Starting in the fall of 2008 we will become full time residents of Sarasota. My wife was a stained glass artist until arthiritis put an end to it.

Sir;

I read with concern the recent letter by the Concertmaster of the Sarasota Orchestra regarding the current situation with the Orchestra and its musicians.

Although June La Belle has made a valiant effort through many classes, I still don’t know the difference between F flat and B sharp, but I do know the rec… Continue

This is to invite you to Elysian Fields, where I will be giving Intuitive Readings on December 14 (10:30 - 3:30), December 16 (4 - 7:30 pm) and December 28 (10:30 - 5:30), if you're into that. I'd love to tell you about your aura and life path energy, or else answer any questions you may have. I've been seeing auras since birth and painting images of my visions since age three.

Please check out at my web site (shaman.mosaicglobe.com) or Elysian Fields' web site (elysianfieldsonline.com) for more info. You may also call me (415-244-9445) or call Elysian Fields (941-366-4982) for an appointment. I look forward to having the chance to meet you.

Truly, Jack

My grandfather worked in that area at an airport so I spent some summers on Canandagua Lake - they actually had a cabin on Cayuga Lake and I went to high school in Geneva on Seneca Lake - beautiful area!!

At 9:14am on September 25, 2008, Judy Dean said…: Hi Laurance! I am from the Finger Lakes area of NY as well - Waterloo to be precise. Is this anywhere near where you are from? Look forward to meeting you and your wife! Judy

At 10:55am on August 31, 2008, June LeBell said…: It is a wonderful idea - - and I'm glad you're part of it (with or without the top of your head part). Congratulations on your Sarasota decision. It's a wonderful place. (But remember that most of our lakes have alligators - - something you probably don't have in the Finger Lake region...which, come to think of it, is probably why they don't call any lakes in Florida Finger lakes.)
