James Ten EyckJames Ten Eyck was born and grew up in Somerville, NJ. He received a BS in Mathematics in 1963 from Lafayette College and worked in several capacities at IBM, and Endicott for five years before enrolling full-time at Syracuse University. He received Ph.D. in Physics in 1973. He met and married his wife, Veronica, in Syracuse where their son, David was born. After leaving Syracuse, he began an academic career that took the family to several cities and colleges including Worcester, MA, where he added an MS in Computer Science from WPI. Dr. TenEyck retired from teaching in 2009 after 25 years at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Upon retirement, he took the opportunity to pursue his life-long ambition to write. His first book, The Life and Times of Walter Reuther: An Unfinished liberal Legacy (Page Publishing c 2016; and republished by Page Vision Press in 2023) combined his interest in history and public affairs to tell the story of the transformative years of the mid-twentieth century through the lens of a person involved with most of the movements, policies, and leaders of that period. Since publishing that book, Dr. Ten Eyck has been writing poetry. This volume, More Footprints, is a revised and augmented version of Footprints (Outskirts Press c 2022). His wife, Veronica, died in the fall of 2021 and is remembered in many of the poems in this book. Read More Read Less
