A CALL TO A LONG TIME AR FRIEND DAGNY EASON

By
Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies

I have known Dagny Eason for as long as I have been in Active Rain.  She has not posted on Active Rain recently, but she still reads posts.  I know that because he has texted me.  It was time to give her a call and find out what is happening in Dagny’s world.

Many Active Rainers in Westchester County NY or Fairfield County CT remember Dagny’s great meetups.  I think they were the biggest ones.  I added a picture here and as you can see, she attracted as far away a Bob Crain in Wisconsin.  That is because she hosted at her home in Wilton, CT and people brought certain things or chipped in for filet mignon.

Another reason why Dagny and I have stayed in touch is due to support for each other in caring for our spouses.  Dagny’s husband Kirk has had Parkinson’s for quite a while.  My wife Phyllis has PSP.  They are both similar since they both involve movement disorders.  We remember meeting with Kirk at the meetups and he was and still is doing quite well.  Dagny has made some modifications in her house so that they can stay on one floor.  We both shared support information.

So what has been happening with Dagny now?  Her real estate business is doing great.  She has not been on Active Rain because she is so remarkably busy.  She has 10 agents and two more coming.  I have always been impressed with the organization she has assembled.  We talked about the Zoom meetings on Tuesdays.  She asked me to send her an invite.  I will see that this happens.  I know that many of us in the Rain will be very happy to have visit on Zoom.

Thanks to Hannah Williams and Kathy Streib for this challenge.

Grant, nice to you to give her a call.  She is a lovely woman, I met her in Mystic CT for lunch when I was on the East Coast.   I miss her too.  Did you convince her to write another post?

Grant- first of all, thank you for participating in this drawn out July Challenge. I am so thankful that I got to meet you and Phyliss at the ActiveRain Meetup we had in Delray Beach. I too had to google what PSP is. My Larry has Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus and I thank God that his shunt is working.

Wow, you are calling a lot of great people!  I don't know Dagny Eason very well.  I have read a few of her posts, but I don't think she commented on many of my posts so we never really connected.

Hi Grant! Such a great one to call - I always loved Dagny and have missed her. We also had the familial caregiver connection and I always admired her ability to get everything done AND run a successful business. I do hope that she'll join us on the Zoom calls - I would love to catch up!

Thank you so much for participating in the challenge, Grant! You certainly went above and beyond. Hope to see you this coming Tuesday!

Grant, it is sad to see those once very active, now missing, and Dagny did always have great things to share.
