Edwardyne's graduation day at CNR.
The college paired up freshmen with a "Junior Sister," and Eddie was mine.
I loved her. Singer, actor and math major.
We ended up co-chairing the drama club, Props N Paint, and we're still in touch.
Some years ago, there was a piece in Variety. Edwardyne was playing Anna in Fermat's Last Tango.
A + B = Of course she's in a musical about a math problem.
That stupid white Gunne Sax dress.
My opinion on wearing Gunne Sax is the same as my opinion on Laura Ashley:
You feel like a princess for five minutes, and an idiot the rest of your life.
