oston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. These are the top five cities in America that attract entrepreneurial talent. What would happen if this talent were distributed among cities with like opportunities?

What obstacles deter the next generation from embarking on their entrepreneurial journey in these spaces?

An upcoming lecture at Princeton University’s Keller Center will discuss trends of entrepreneurship in the United States. Amy Nelson, CEo of Venture For America, will speak about the impact such trends have on communities and how the next generation can make a change.

Nelson will speak Wednesday, February 12, at 4:30 p.m. at Princeton University’s Friend Center as part of the Keller Center’s Creative Mind lecture series. To register for the free event, visit kellercenter. princeton.edu.

i

t was the 1980s on the streets of Newark, and Rameck Hunt and some of his friends were in a fight with a drug addict. The fight escalated, and Hunt pulled out a knife.

He didn’t want to stab the man, but he didn’t want to look weak in front of his friends either, so he compromised. He would later describe giving the man a “poke” with a knife, while the others beat him savagely.

That “poke” was enough to land Hunt in jail on charges of attempted murder, having confessed on behalf of the entire group.

After this point, Hunt’s life could have ended up like that of so many of his peers: that could have been the first of many arrests leading to a resume that included multiple incarcerations, no education, and no job prospects. No one, least of all Hunt, would have guessed that he would set down the knife and one day take up the tools of medicine.

As for the legal case, Hunt got lucky: the victim never showed up to testify, and the case was dismissed. And just like peer pressure had led to Hunt’s arrest, it would be peer pressure that set his life on a better path. As he describes in the 2002 book, “The Pact,” two friends he met in high school, George Jenkins and Sampson Davis, were they keys to his success.

Where his previous friends had goaded him into committing crimes, Jenkins and Davis would pressure him into studying harder.

After hearing a high school pre-

Entrepreneurial: Amy Nelson of Venture For America speaks at Princeton University’s Keller Center on Wednesday, February 12.

Nelson serves as CEo of Venture For America, an organization dedicated to creating economic opportunity through entrepreneurship. Prior to becoming CEo, Amy served as managing director and vice president of external relations at VFA, where she designed and built the organization’s accelerator program and seed fund to help VFA fellows launch businesses.

Prior to VFA, she held business development positions at B Lab, Relief International, and Cambodian Children’s Fund. She has helped dozens of nonprofit organizations with fundraising and strategy over the years as a consultant and advisor. Currently, she sits on the boards of Venture For America and Safe Haven Medical outreach in Cambodia and is a member of the NationSwell Council. She is a graduate of Claremont McKenna College and NYU’s Stern School of Business.

sentation on careers in medicine and dentistry, the three of them made a pact to all become doctors.

Today Hunt is an internist at the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The others are also doctors. Together, the three run a foundation called The Three Doctors, which helps kids who are in similar circumstances to theirs growing up.

The Three Doctors will be part of a presentation at the Pascale Sykes Foundation’s Working Together for Working Families conference on Thursday, February 13 at Rowan College of South Jersey’s Luciano Center in Vineland. The conference will also include a talk by broadcast journalist and “60 Minutes” co-founder Lesley Stahl.

‘There was enough hope left in me to keep fighting until i met my two friends that i made the pact with, and that made all the difference.’

For more information on the event, visit www.pascalesykesfoundation.com.

Hunt has also written a book on weight loss, “No Guess Work,” scheduled to be released this May. Hunt was raised by his mother and his grandmother in the midst of what he describes as a blighted community. He says he never would have succeeded at becoming a doctor without the help of his two friends. But even growing up seeing people in his community struggle, he had an inkling that he wanted something better.

U.S. 1

“I think I started out knowing that I wanted more,” he said. “For some reason, there was enough hope left in me to keep fighting until I met my two friends that I made the pact with, and that made all the difference. once we made the pact, it was one of those things where it seemed doable.”

According to Hunt, the reason the pact succeeded was because it turned peer pressure from a negative force into a positive one. The three attended University High School, a magnet school. “There were times when you were around some friends, and they might do something like steal something or beat somebody up or whatever. overall they might not have been a negative person, but those kinds of things were what we grew up with, and if you were in their circle you might find yourself being involved with it too. When I wasn’t around those guys I didn’t do that,” Hunt says.

With Jenkins and Davis, it was different. Hunt recalls that if you got an A on a test, you were considered a “nerd” and would be bullied, but cheered if you got an F. He, Jenkins, and Davis pressured one another to succeed instead. “It wasn’t cool to do dumb things around them,” he says. “If you ventured out to do something, or wanted to impress others, they would look at you, like, what are you doing? You have a future. The pressure not to go out there and do something silly was real with those two guys.” one of the three didn’t know how to tie a tie because he didn’t have a father at home. Another didn’t know how to drive a stick shift, so they taught him. They became one another’s family. “We helped each other grow and become men,” Hunt says.

Continued from preceding page

The three were different ages, but they all ended up attending Seton Hall University. The college environment took some getting used to. “It was a big adjustment when we all first started,” Hunt says. “We had a tough time with simple things like having cable and air conditioning and heat regularly, and meal plans. All those simple things that everybody else took for granted, for us felt like a luxury.”

The three friends had to learn how to behave in their new social environment. “We came from tough backgrounds where the way we dealt with conflict was to argue or fight. We had to quickly realize that’s not the way to do conflict resolution when you’re in college or beyond that. It was a big adjustment.”

On the other hand, people from more privileged backgrounds turned out to be more welcoming than they expected. Still, they had some catching up to do. Some of the other students had better education going in, so the three had to work hard to catch up. Just as they had in high school, the three friends helped each other. “One person wouldn’t let the other person do poorly on a test,” Hunt says. “You didn’t want to be the only one to walk across that graduation stage. And you didn’t want to be the one in the audience while the other two graduated ... it was an unspoken thing for all of us, and we did what we needed to do to make sure we succeeded.”

They didn’t stop at graduation.

All three attended University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and achieved their goal of becoming doctors. When they finally earned their degrees they ended up on the front page of the Star-Ledger, above the fold, for their achievement.

At that point, the pact had succeeded, and they could have celebrated and gone their separate ways. Instead, they decided to keep their partnership together and use it to help young people. Today, the Three Doctors Foundation sponsors kids aged 12 to 18 to form their own pacts. Over the past 20 years the foundation has sponsored students who became doctors, dentists, psychologists, scientists, and lawyers.

The Three Doctors’ Foundation’s mission overlaps with that of the Pascale Sykes Foundation, whose mission is improving life for working, low-income families.

Hunt says that family played an important role in his own story, both in how he and his two friends essentially became a family, and in how his grandmother and mother encouraged him to succeed.

Hunt’s family is an example of the “Whole Family” approach that the Pascale Sykes foundation takes in supporting families. The foundation emphasizes the importance of having two adults in charge, even if they are not necessarily mother and father.

Most tellings of Hunt’s story end with him becoming a doctor. But he has done a lot since earning his medical degree. He has come to specialize in the field of weight loss. Hunt says he was inspired to do so by one particular patient whom he saw in his regular internal medicine practice.

“Every time this patient would come in, I found myself adding a new medication,” he says. “Most of it was because of her weight.

And a lot of the medical issues I was seeing in patients, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, have a lot to do with excess weight.”

He watched as the patient gained more than 100 pounds. When he asked her if her children were also

obese, she cried.

Hunt dedicated himself to learning the science of weight loss, and over the next two years he helped the woman lose 100 pounds. Today his weight loss clinic is dedicated to helping people lose weight and maintain it.

In his new book, he distills his weight loss program for readers:

Y

ou’ve heard it many times before: the way to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more. Right?

It’s all about will power and discipline, we’ve been told.

Well, not exactly.

I’m a medical doctor, and before I began studying obesity and practicing obesity medicine, I thought that way, too. Quite frankly, changing that mindset is part of the reason I am writing this book. Much of what we as a nation have been fed through the years about how to eat and how to lose weight has been based on lies. The truth is people can eat until they are satisfied if they understand what to eat. That is far more important than portion size. And people tend to think that “move more” means going to the gym or signing up for a killer boot camp-style workout regimen, when there are much more simple ways to maximize their activity throughout the day to get the same or even greater benefits.

This book introduces my No Guesswork (NGW) plan, which will teach you exactly what you need to know to embark on a lifetime of good health and wellness.

For too long, we have been misinformed about which foods make us gain weight, and which don’t.

We’ve been cutting calories and starving ourselves to shed the pounds, only to gain the weight back again, wondering if we have to be hungry all the time in order to maintain a healthy weight. We’ve

had to guess — is there any diet out there that will help me stay slim and healthy for good? My plan takes the guesswork out of healthy living, and it will change your life.

No more diet confusion, no more shooting in the dark. You will lose weight, but most importantly, you will learn how to keep the weight off for life.

Obesity is epidemic in this country. About 100 million adults in the United States (about 40 percent of the adult population) and 13.7 million children (nearly 19 percent) are obese The problem is most severe among Hispanics and African Americans, and predictions are that the obesity crisis will continue to grow. To change, Americans need to understand how we got here and how to get out. My book offers both.

My goal is to change the perception of how Americans think about people with obesity. I want the fat shaming to stop, even among those who live with obesity. I want to educate people that obesity is a real disease with real causes and consequences. When I say that obesity is not the fault of the people who are struggling with it, I’m not just mak-

The Three Doctors, from left, Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and George Jenkins. ing excuses for them. Science has proven the battle of the brain that they fight every day, and I explain that within these pages. Yes, they have some responsibility in making better choices, just as a person who suffers from, say, diabetes or high blood pressure. But for too long people have not been told the truth about what the best choices are.

I wrote this book to tell you the truth and to provide you at last with the No Guesswork plan for weight loss and healthy living. If you need inspiration and coaching, you will find it here, too. I’ve been told that diet books are just supposed to tell you what to do, and that’s it. We just want a quick fix, I’ve heard repeatedly. There is certainly no shortage of those kinds of books out there.

You read them, lose weight, and then gain it right back. Why? Perhaps we didn’t know how the food we were eating affected us. Perhaps we didn’t know that the foods we eat

FEBRUARY 12, 2020

ignite a swirl of hormones and cravings in our bodies, or that cutting calories would slow our metabolism. I am here to arm you with the knowledge you need to change your eating habits for good. I dare to trust your intelligence, to trust that you not only want to lose weight but that you want to know the hidden truth about what really causes us to gain weight. When you know the truth, you can make different and better choices.

My clinic at Penn Medicine Princeton Health focuses on weight maintenance because that is truly the goal: to help our patients achieve a healthy weight and maintain it for the rest of their lives. Our team has helped dozens of people lose hundreds of pounds. We are so full that we cannot accept any new patients. But I lay out my plan for you in this book. I know it works. If you’re ready to change your life, this is the book for you.

A Vintage Literary Bouquet for Valentine’s Day

S

by Dan Aubrey

ince Valentine’s Day conjures words of love, we thought it might be interesting to remember some historic state and regional writers and let them reopen their hearts and souls to a contemporary audience.

And while style and tones have obviously changed over the past few hundred years — with the youngest poem here being around 100 years old — the collection here serves as a good reminder of our region’s literary heritage.

Yet more importantly, it also reminds us of our shared humanity and the joys and pains of loving.

So let’s take a sentimental journey from the Colonial Era to the Jazz Age with the following Valentine’s Day guides:

Annis Boudinot Stockton (17361801) is the Revolutionary War poet and

wife of Declaration of Declaration of Independence signer Richard Stockton. Her connection to a political family and her interest in poetry made her Princeton home, Morven, a center for culture and ideas — as well as target for the British during the Battle of Princeton in 1777. Here the young bride banishes her longing for her traveling husband by transforming his physical absence to a spiritual presence.

The Disappointment! (1756) An ode to Mr. Stockton I see my kind protector come To soothe my throbbing heart to rest.

He breaks that cloud’s o’erspreading gloom And chases midnight from my breast.

No tis not him a shadowy sprite.

So like my lover met my eyes Some angel left the fields of light Touch’d with compassion at my sighs.

Annis Boudinot Stockton No more he joins the Social band Around my cheerful fire side Where friendships fascinating wand Once made his hours serenely glide.

Tis not for me that voice to hear Whence sprightly wit and manly sense Can floe to charm the brow of care And wisdom’s choicest gifts dispense.

But he shall live within my heart — His image all my Joy supply — And when death hurls the fatal dart I’ll bear it with me to the sky.

Yes see the blessed hour arrives Ev’n now the peaceful clime I view When gentle love and virtue thrives And souls their lapsed powers renew.

No disappointment enters there — The tender heart no absence pains — For love refin’d is angels’ fare — For love eternal ever reigns.

Philip Freneau

Philip Freneau (1752–1832) attended Princeton University, where his roommate was James Madison. Based most of his life in New Jersey, he was a merchant sailor, sea captain, member of the New Jersey militia, and a newspaper publisher and editor who supported Jeffersonian ideas. His war-time poems, including one about his time on a British prison ship, earned him the reputation of being “the poet of the American Revolution.” While the poem here is addressed to the goddess-like moon figure, it was written to his wife while he was away on business.

To Cynthia (1789) Through Jersey groves, a wandering stream That still its wonted music keeps, Inspires no more my evening dream, Where Cynthia, in retirement, sleeps.

Sweet murmuring stream! how blest art thou To kiss the bank where she resides,

Francis Hopkinson Where Nature decks the beechen bough That trembles o’er your shallow tides.

The cypress-tree on Hermit’s height, Where Love his soft addresses paid

By Luna’s pale reflected light — No longer charms me to its shade!

To me, alas! so far removed, What raptures, once, that scenery gave, Ere wandering yet from all I loved, I sought a deeper, drearier wave.

Your absent charms my thoughts employ: I sigh to think how sweet you sung, And half adore the painted toy That near my careless heart you hung.

Now, fettered fast in icy fields, In vain we loose the sleeping sail; The frozen wave no longer yields, And useless blows the favouring gale.

Walt Whitman

Stephen Crane

Yet, still in hopes of vernal showers, And breezes, moist with morning dew, I pass the lingering, lazy hours, Reflecting on the spring — and you.

F

rancis Hopkinson (1737-1791), the Bordentown resident who signed the Declaration of Independence, was a lawyer, inventor, artist who designed the first U.S. flag, musician, and America’s first poet-composer. The following poem served as the lyrics to one of his secular songs. It was published in the Columbian magazine in Philadelphia.

Give Me Thy Heart (1789) Give me thy heart as I give mine, Our hands in mutual bonds will join, Propitious may our union prove, What’s life without the joys of love?

Should care knock rudely at our gate, Admittance to obtain, Cupid shall at the casement wait, And bid him call again!

Give me thy heart as I give mine Our hands in mutual bonds will join, Propitious may our union prove, What’s life without the joys of love?

W

alt Whitman (1819–1892) was the Camden-based poet who is acclaimed as one of America’s greatest poets. His recurring themes include democracy, fraternity, and the joys of the physical world and the human body. Here in this undated poem, he sings of the wonder of being a human being and his love for the presence of others.

To a Stranger From the 1900 edition of “Leaves of Grass” Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,

Love’s Lantern (1914)

You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me, I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only, You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return, I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

Because the road was steep and long⁠ ⁠And through a dark and lonely land, God set upon my lips a song ⁠And put a lantern in my hand.

S

For Aline

Through miles on weary miles of night ⁠That stretch relentless in my way My lantern burns serene and white, ⁠An unexhausted cup of day.

O golden lights and lights like wine, ⁠How dim your boasted splendors are.

Behold this little lamp of mine; ⁠It is more starlike than a star!

F

. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is the noted writer of such Jazz Age classics as “The Great Gatsby” and “Tender is the Night.” In 1913 he began attending Princeton University, the inspiration for his novel “This Side of Paradise,” and experimented with writing poems. That includes this highly romantic recollection of his unrequited love for Ginevra King, the later inspiration for “The Great Gatsby’s” Daisy. His studies were interrupted by an absence and with more interest in the Triangle Club than main-

taining grades. He left without graduating in 1917. The poem was published in the Nassau Literary Magazine.

My First Love (c. 1917) All my ways she wove of light Wove them half alive, Made them warm and beauty-bright...

So the shining, ambient air Clothes the golden waters where The pearl fishers dive.

When she wept and begged a kiss Very close I’d hold her, Oh I know so well in this Fine, fierce joy of memory She was very young like me Tho’ half an aeon older.

Once she kissed me very long, Tip-toes out the door, Left me, took her light along, Faded as a music fades...

Then I saw the changing shades, Color-blind no more.

Editor’s Note: For more on love and poetry, see the column by Pia de Jong and Landon Y. Jones, page 29.

Love Walked Alone (1895) Love walked alone.

The rocks cut her tender feet, And the brambles tore her fair limbs.

There came a companion to her, But, alas, he was no help, For his name was heart’s pain.

J

oyce Kilmer (1886-1918) was the New Brunswick-born and Rutgers-educated journalist and poet whose best known work is “Trees.” However, in addition to his love of nature, Kilmer was noted Catholic and World War I poet who was killed in France four months before the Armistice. The poem is addressed to his wife.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

All is recall’d as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

tephen Crane (1871-1900), born in Newark and an off-and-on New Jersey resident, is the author of several acclaimed “naturalistic” American novels, including the Civil War story “The Red Badge of Courage” and “Maggie: A Girl of the Streets.” He was also a Spanish-American war correspondent, a New Jersey journalist, and one of the era’s most innovative poets. His free, unadorned, and unromantic style was an example of early modernism and, like his novels, had ironic and bitter twists.

“It’s as simple as registering your name or business name and your email address and you will be automatically notified if a document is recorded with your name,” said Covello.

The Property Alert Service is free.

To sign up, visit http//:propertyalert.mercercounty. org/propertyalert.

Boudoir Photographer Gets Up Close, Personal,

I

by Susan Van Dongen

f you’re in an adventurous mood for the Valentine’s season or any time during the year and want to play sexy, slightly naughty dress-up, and then have your rebel spirit captured with sensitivity, look no further than the Abigail Gingerale Boudoir Studio.

Located in Allentown on the sunlit third floor of the historic Old Mill shops, Abigail Gingerale is run by the married couple Abigail and Andy Lydick.

The company, which also does wedding, event, and lifestyle photography, takes its nom de plume comes from Abigail’s childhood nickname.

“Abi,” a Ewing native, is the one who has been exploring the bouaround 2014,” Lydick says. “In doir aspect of their photography fact, one of our brides got into it business.

Although there have been glam and lingerie photography businesses for years and years, Lydick believes the concept has evolved. It’s not so secretive and “dirty” anymore.

P

erhaps this new perspective has to do with a younger generation of women growing up with more diverse and body-positive role models. For one, think of the

Grammy-winning sensation Lizzo and her troupe of dancers.

They’re the antithesis of the beanpole magazine models and starlets who have been idealized for so long.

Lydick’s clients are mostly in their low 20s to age 35 (she has had at least one boudoir client in her 60s, though), and the women come in all sizes, shapes, and skin tones. Peruse the business’s website (boudoir.abigailgingeralephotography.com), and you’ll see

that many of the ladies in the lens are also sporting elaborate body art.

“Just in the last few years it’s become this great way for women to see themselves as empowered,” she says. “Before it was risque and hidden, but I find that it’s changed, and now boudoir photography is this powerful thing.”

The studio is welcoming to “women of size,” new moms, and those with post-surgical scars, who are encouraged to shake off

renton art is attracting attention elsewhere in the state as the Morris Museum in Morristown continues two exhibitions featuring artists representing the creative spirit in the capital city.

“Aerosol: Graffiti | Street Art | New Jersey | Now” features 12 noted contemporary street artists, including Trenton-area artists Dean Ras Innocenzi, Johanthan Conner, Leon Rainbow, and Will Kasso Condry, who also co-curated the exhibition with Morris Museum chief curator Ronald T. Labaco.

On view through Sunday, March 15, the exhibition is being touted as the first U.S. museum exhibition showcasing contemporary street art and graffiti writing created especially for the gallery walls.

“New Jersey is a hotbed of hybrid styles,” Condry says in a statement. “Aerosol artists of this caliber have come together to adorn a museum gallery in a way that’s

never been conceived before. The same energy that’s used on the street has been harnessed to create another world within a space that’s relatively exclusive. Graffiti and street art are art forms that are gaining wider acceptance in the museum and gallery arena. This exhibition demonstrates that.”

The participating artists were selected for their prominence and commitment to creating urban art in New Jersey, which, according to the museum, “plays a vital role in the ever-evolving aerosol-art narrative.”

While that narrative began in Philadelphia and then New York City during the 1960s and ’70s, the New Jersey circles of artists between them used and advanced the form.

Treating the gallery as a cooperative installation, the artists created expansive — yet temporary — floor-to-ceiling works especially

A survey of the noted figurative painter’s 60-year career, the exhibition illustrates Leipzig’s mastery of form and innovation.

With subjects focusing mainly on family, friends, and colleagues in and around the Trenton region, the exhibition also highlights the artist’s personal pursuit to celebrate everyday people and life.

Spring Season Blossoms Early at Morven Gardens

M

orven, the national historic landmark in Princeton, has long been known for its colonial history. Less recognized is its status as a Victorian masterpiece. The horticultural aspect of this past will be highlighted in a talk given by its recently hired co-horticulturists, Louise Senior and Charlie Thomforde, on Wednesday, February 12, at 2 p.m.

“Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Victorian Garden Practices” includes an educational tour of Morven’s Victorian-themed gardens and a presentation on the culture and history that led to the creation of such gardens. For their talk, the two have defined the Victorian garden era, a time considered by many as the golden age of horticulture, as the half-century period between 1840 and 1890.

“There was so much going on in the Victorian world — inventions, explorations and trade, and embracement of technology and science — that helped to create a burgeoning middle class and the concomitant development of leisure time,” Senior notes. “All of this affected gardens and how they were viewed and designed.”

“We have Victorian landscape areas at Morven now,” Thomforde adds. “American landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing’s very influential landscape style in the 1840s — of which Morven is an example — emphasized grass and trees with flowers relegated to separate areas. However, not everyone favored that and, as a result, carpets of what are known as bedding flowers also came into vogue.”

“Morven is now in the process of adding an area of flowers,” Thomforde continues. “These will be colorful, Victorian favorites that have long bloom periods and can handle drought.” Among those being considered, and which will be covered in the talk, are orange tiger lilies, fragrant white mignonettes, pink bleeding hearts, and blue balloon flowers. Many will be offered for sale at Morven’s annual plant sale in May. And then there’s Love Lies Bleeding, also known as Hopeless Love. Frequent visitors to Morven over the past few years easily spotted this annual as it is up to 8 feet tall, with striking red, dripping plumage that can give the plant the appearance that it is bleeding. “It was quite popular in Victorian times,” Senior says.

Senior’s talk will highlight a little known aspect of Victorian gardens: the tools and techniques developed to create them. Some were quite funky and no longer exist today. “Others, such as rubber hoses were new,” she notes, “as well as pumping technologies and the development of paper seed packets.”

She will also cover the vegetables grown in that era, a favorite subject of hers.

Senior and Thomforde joined Morven as part-time co-horticulturists following the retirement of longtime horticulturist Pam Ruch last July. Each brings a background as eclectic as Morven’s history and

by Patricia A. Taylor

Horticulturists Louise Senior, near right, and Charlie Thomforde lead a tour of Morven’s Victorianthemed gardens on February 12. Above: the main building at Morven and visitors in the gardens. their differing expertise enriches Morven’s extensive programs in both history and horticulture.

A bona fide Jersey girl, Senior grew up in Maple Shade Township, in a pre-Civil War house that her parents rebuilt. While neither her mother, a school nurse, nor her father, an engineer, were horticulturists, a family friend, who loved plants, was. Senior credits this woman for introducing her to the pleasure of growing and then eating fresh vegetables as well as the tricky process of hybridizing plants.

Though her B.A. from Harvard and her Ph.D. from the University of Arizona were in anthropology, Senior says she has always had a strong interest in botany. Indeed, following her 1981 Harvard graduation, she hiked all 2,150 miles of the Appalachian Trail and observed first-hand the different flora throughout the eastern U.S. Between 1989 and 1993 she spent three excavation seasons in Syria, although there was little opportunity to observe plant life when on those assignments.

Marriage and motherhood reinforced her interests in horticulture and gardening. She became a master gardener and became active in school gardens. For the past six years, she has been the School Garden Educator, a part-time job based at Princeton’s Riverside School. In that job, she not only teaches garden lessons to all children but also manages the gardens during summer and coordinates food donations from those gardens to the Arm in Arm food pantry in Trenton.

Senior also volunteers at the

William Trent House in Trenton.

Last year she received the International Master Gardener Search for Excellence Award for a children’s program that she created. She often works on educational garden programs with Thomforde at Trent House, as he has been a long time volunteer there as a historical horticulturist.

W

hen it comes to horticulture, Thomforde definitely knows whereof he speaks as he spent his early childhood on a farm outside of Philadelphia in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Later, his father left the farm to become an international agricultural advisor. That job took him and his family to Iran and then on to Rome, where the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization was headquartered.

Thomforde gained a deep appreciation for Italian culture during the years he was in middle and high school in Rome. And not only culture but also a reverence for the past. “There is a casual appreciation for the past that we don’t have

here,” he has said, and he hopes to inoculate such appreciation in his work at Morven.

He left Rome to earn a degree in biology from Swarthmore and a master’s degree in public horticulture administration from the University of Delaware. And all the while, he continued his research in and love of garden history.

“Robert Stockton, grandson of the Richard who signed the Declaration of Independence, made a lot of changes to Morven’s house and grounds around 1850,” he says and will cover this period in his contribution to the talk. “We know he had a large vegetable garden, a section of roses, and a glass house for tender ornamental plants that was located more or less where the present parking lot is. He also employed a gardener who won prizes for his vegetables at the Princeton exhibitions of the New Jersey Horticultural Society — but no prizes for any ornamentals.”

Senior will give another gardenthemed talk on Saturday, February 29, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Her Signs of Spring Walk will highlight

Technological and societal changes in the Victorian era led to the development of ‘leisure time,’ which in turn affected gardens and how they were viewed and designed.

the science of early spring flowering plants as well as their beauty.

“We’ll even dig a little bit to see what’s happening underground and explore what’s inside the ‘expectant’ buds on our branches.”

The two garden talks are among a plethora of offerings — including those on music performances, lectures on architecture, and poetry readings — that are scheduled events at Morven through the first half of this year.

And as a preview of flowering activities, the Morven horticulturists provide note that April brings magnolia and daffodil followed by tulips, dogwood, and serviceberry.

They’ll be followed in May by Flowering Quince, Redbud Tree, Wisteria, Tree Peonies, Lilacs, Brunnera “Summer Forget-MeNots,” Primroses, Spiraela, Spanish Bluebell, Harison’s Yellow Rose “A Scotch Rose,” and Buckeye Tree.

Morven Museum, 55 Stockton Street, Princeton. Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. $8 to $10. For further information, go to www.morven.org and click on Upcoming Events and Programs. Dates and times are also given for afternoon teas and museum tours. 609-924-8144 or www. morven.org.

The FDA investigated the case because it is against regulations to sell drugs that have not been approved by the FDA. “American pet owners rely on the FDA to ensure their pets’ drugs are safe and effective,” said FDA special agent in charge Mark McCormack, of the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations’ Metro Washington Field Office. “We will continue to investigate and bring to justice those who ignore or attempt to circumvent the law.”

If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of 32 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $1,250,000.

Promising Beginnings

T

he charges of fraud related to drugs further call into question Nyce’s previous record as a businessman. Nyce first appeared in the pages of U.S. 1 on March 17, 1999.

An article by Monica J. Guendner profiled Nyce as the CEO of EpiGenesis Pharmaceuticals, a company based on Eastpark Boulevard in Cranbury that was researching cures for asthma.

In interviews, Nyce touted his company’s technology, called “antisense therapy,” that was like “flipping a genetic switch” to cure respiratory diseases. The company was founded in 1995 in North Carolina and had moved to Exit 8A in the fall of 1998. Nyce said he had

CEO Mode: Jonathan Nyce, pictured in 1999, when EpiGenesis was the hot new arrival on the pharmaceutical scene in the Exit 8A area. invested his personal money in the company and raised more through private investors. It had recently received $6 million from private investors and a $1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Nyce told U.S. 1 that he had grown up in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, where his father was a machine designer. “He worked around the clock one night to design the machinery to knit the first pair of pantyhose,” Nyce said. “But because he had a new family, he was unable to capitalize on that discovery, whereas his partner was able to run with it. He told me that if I were ever in a similar position, to be sure I could capitalize on it.”

It would later turn out that this story was not true.

Nyce also said he had struggled

with asthma his whole life, having once succumbed to a coughing fit while giving a paper at a professional meeting.

Nyce said earned an undergraduate degree and a doctorate at Temple and did postgraduate work at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. He became a professor in the department of molecular pharmacology and therapeutics at East Carolina University. His company boasted board members and advisors from major pharmaceutical companies and universities.

He told U.S. 1 that he had moved his company from New Jersey because North Carolina felt too small.

With him were his wife, Michelle, whom he would later kill, and his three young children.

The company was back in the news again in 2001 for signing a

$100 million distribution deal with a Japanese company for one of its drugs, which was still going through clinical trials.

The company aimed to use a form of treatment called antisense therapy. Today, other companies are using antisense therapies to develop treatments for cancer, muscular dystrophy, AIDS, and other conditions.

The last time EpiGenesis was in the news before the killing was 2003, when it was announced that the company, then based at Cedar Brook Corporate Center, had been bought out and reorganized by a group of venture capitalists, who removed the management team, including Nyce. Reporter Barbara Fox tried to call Nyce for comment but couldn’t reach him.

It was a difficult economic environment for pharmaceutical companies, and EpiGenesis hadn’t been able to make it. He couldn’t raise enough money to keep the company going despite having some success in clinical trials.

“At the moment when Nyce needed to raise some serious money, the web bubble had burst. EpiGenesis had only a small investor base, and new potential investors had empty pockets,” a U.S. 1 article later noted.

“It must have been a crushing blow. Nyce lost not only his new drug idea and his original platform technology, but also a job that would be very hard to replace.

Nyce has a doctoral degree but is not a physician, and he had given up a tenured teaching position to make the entrepreneurial leap.”

The new owners of EpiGenesis downsized the company and halted work on cancer drugs and the technology platform Nyce had invented and focused work on a project unconnected with Nyce.

Nyce had lost his job, but Mi-

chelle was working part-time as a beauty consultant at Macy’s in Quakerbridge Mall. The couple had put up their home on Keithwood Court up for sale, asking $1.6 million.

From CEO to Killer

I

t was only a few months later, in January, 2004, that Nyce, then 54 was arrested, having confessed to police to beating his wife to death. Michelle had been found dead in her SUV in a creek near their home the morning of January 16.

Despite the confession, the case was not open-and-shut. Nyce retained the services of prominent defense attorney Robin Lord, who got him released on $1.7 million bail.

In 2003 EpiGenesis fell on hard times, and Nyce was out of a job. In January, 2004, he was arrested and confessed to beating his wife to death.

The trial began in June of 2005.

Prosecutors laid out the case against Nyce. The marriage had been an unhappy one. Michelle, who was born in the Phillipines, was 20 years younger than her husband. On the day she was killed she had returned from a tryst in a motel with the family’s gardener. Nyce confronted her in the garage and killed her by bashing her head into the floor.

In Nyce’s telling, she attacked him with a knife, and he acted in

self-defense. No knife was ever found. He tried to make the killing look like a car accident, driving Michelle’s body to the creek in the family SUV and leaving it there.

Police found tracks in the snow leading from his car, which allegedly matched Nyce’s footprints.

Lord mounted a vigorous and at times theatrical defense (U.S. 1, July 20, 2005). At one point, she unpacked a suitcase belonging to Michelle, taking out G-string thongs, lingerie, and bras. Jurors stood to look into the case as detectives opened it, leading the judge to accuse her of turning the courtroom into a yard sale.

Lord’s defense was effective.

She won a victory for Nyce when she got judge Bill Mathesius to give the option of convicting Nyce on a lesser charge of passion/provocation manslaughter. In the end, the jury convicted Nyce on this charge, which resulted in his unusually short jail term.

In a later interview with U.S. 1, Lord said she had bounced ideas for the defense off her children, at one point asking her 10-year-old son, “What can I say to convince the jury that this man didn’t intend to kill his wife?”

“Why would he want to kill his wife, Mommy?” Was his reply.

Lord said that this conversation helped her form her defense, which was that Nyce hadn’t in fact plotted to kill his wife, and that if he had done so, the brilliant chemist could have poisoned her instead.

The case was the subject of a book by British tabloid journalist John Glatt, who interviewed nearly 50 people (U.S., June 7, 2006).

Glatt’s interviews uncovered deceptions on the part of Nyce. For instance, Nyce’s father, who ran a hosiery mill, had never invented a machine to make pantyhose. “I guess you could say I designed

“But concerning the pantyhose machine, the 80-year-old father says wistfully, “I doubt that I invented it.”

T

he book described Nyce as the oldest of four boys, tall, ungainly, and shy around girls. His interest in science led him to co-found an Explorer troop that focused on criminology. As a young man Nyce once boiled a raccoon carcass on a kitchen stove to extract the bones and study its skeleton.

His reported educational history turned out to be true: he had been the first in his family to attend college, working his way through Temple in eight years.

At one point he was married to an orthodox Jewish woman and the marriage lasted seven years.

Glatt discovered that Nyce had great ambitions for his career, seeking a place in medical history. In a freelance article he wrote for Philadelphia Magazine, Nyce wrote about how “solemn portraits of the University of Pennsylvania’s past medical greats line the wide, polished corridors and lavish staircases of the old medical school. Between classes a procession of students and faculty traverse the great stretches of hall, and small groups collect beneath one or other of the gilt edge frames to exchange notes.”

adius8, a tech company that creates digital storefronts, has received an investment under the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Angel Investor Tax Credit Program.

The NJEDA has approved 161 applications for investments into 32 emerging technology life sciences companies, for a total investment of $33.1 million in private capital. Of those, 120 were approved in the fourth quarter of 2019. Radius8 was among the companies that were new to the program in 2020.

Since the program’s inception, the NJEDA has approved 1,322 applications for the injection of $549 million into 94 New Jersey-based technology and life sciences businesses.

New Jersey’s Angel Investor Tax Credit Program offers investors refundable tax credits against qualified investments for New Jersey businesses. The program supports technology businesses with a physical presence in New Jersey that conduct research, manufacturing, or technology commercialization in the state. The program is open to investors throughout the world.

Changes to the program, which are in effect for investments made after January 1, 2020, include doubling the tax credit that investors can receive: from 10 to 20 percent of a qualified investment. An additional 5 percent bonus has been added to the program for investments in a business located in a qualified opportunity zone, lowincome community, or a business that is certified as minority- or women-owned by the State.

“Attracting investments into early-stage New Jersey companies is pivotal to Governor Murphy’s vision of creating the most diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem, one centered around the Garden State’s talented workforce,” said NJEDA CEO Tim Sullivan.

“We anticipate increased interest in the Angel Investor Tax Credit Program in 2020, as investors realize the benefits these impactful program enhancements have on their investments into emerging New Jersey companies.”

Jonathan Nyce

Tabloids later revealed that Michelle was involved in a love triangle with landscaper Alexander Casteneda, who had been trying to extort $500,000 from Nyce for a sex tape of Michelle.

Glatt interviewed Nyce after the trial. “At no time did Nyce address the circumstances of Michelle’s death, his involvement in it, or show the least bit of remorse for what he had done,” he wrote.

The strange twists in Nyce’s story didn’t end once he went to prison.

In 2007, he filed for an appeal, saying that Judge Mathesius had “demeaned” his then-attorney Lord. By that time he was represented not by Lord but by Paul W. Bergin, who had previously defended a soldier accused of torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib.

Nyce’s appeal was delayed when the Manhattan District Attorney’s office raided Bergin’s office, charging him with taking over a prostitution ring after the arrest of his client, a pimp. He ultimately pled guilty and served probation.

Later he was given a life sentence for running a crime syndicate involved in cocaine trafficking, bribery, fraud, and the murder of a witness.

Nyce’s appeal was denied.

In 2008, he filed for patents for asthma drugs from South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton.

Nyce’s children, two boys and a girl ages 12, 10, and 5 at the time of the killing, went to live with Jona-

University described him as a “gentle giant” and “something of an enigma.”

The book described Mechily “Michelle” Riviera as his “mail order bride” who corresponded with Nyce from her home in the Philippines but only met Nyce a week before the wedding. Glatt said that during their courtship, Nyce, then 40, had lied about his age to his 21-year-old bride.

In his business life, Nyce had a “charismatic and passionate mad scientist persona” and was a good spokesperson for the company, not above embellishing the truth when he felt it necessary, Glatt wrote. He looked “every inch the CEO” in expensive suits and a collection of designer ties. In 2000 the company had taken off, and the couple moved to an expensive home in Hopewell.

A

fter the company fell apart and Nyce was driven out, he devoted himself to pursuits such as writing a children’s book and devising a perfume company for Michelle to start. Roz Clancy, the owner of a modeling agency, told Glatt that she had offered Michelle a modeling job, but that he had forbidden her to model out of jealousy.

adius8 describes itself as a local engagement platform that delivers hyper-local digital experiences to create new commerce opportunities for any enterprise with physical locations and digital channels. In a past interview, CEO Sandeep Bhanote framed Radius8’s mission as a question: “How do we use the physical to help the digital and the digital to help the physical, beyond inventory availability?” (U.S. 1, January 24, 2018) The idea behind the company, he continued, is to “leverage physical stores in a way which could make discovery of what customers want to buy more contextually relevant.”

The company sees these experiences as necessary to meet today’s industry standards and consumer expectations and allow clients to improve profitability by increasing consumer engagement.

Customers who have adopted Radius8’s technology include Adidas, John Varvatos, Lucky Brand Jeans, Orvis, and many more. Radius8 also participated in the NJEDA’s Net Operating Loss Program.

Ford Graham Released from Jail

F

ord Graham, a former Prince­ ton resident accused in a lawsuit of running a $5 million

Ponzi scheme, has been released from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan after spending more than two months there.

Graham, together with his wife, Katherine, had been ordered jailed by federal judge Loretta A. Preska for failing to provide documents related to an earlier fraud case that dates back to 2003. The couple are being sued by Susan Flannigan, who worked for one of Ford Graham’s companies, Vulcan Power Group. She successfully sued Graham for $2 million in unpaid commission and salary but has not collected the judgment. (U.S. 1, December 4, 2019.)

Katherine Graham was released after six days, and on January 24, Preska ordered Ford Graham released under the conditions that he live 100 miles or less from the courthouse in New York, comply with discovery demands, and help recover certain documents related to the case.

n April 1, 1932, Eliot writes Emily what sounds like an undergraduate’s ruminations about his poetry, reflecting on the cruelties of the season to his senses — the raw smells of spring and fall disturb him.

As he often does, he encloses letters sent to him from literary friends like Virginia Woolf, James Joyce — as if he expected her to be his amanuensis.

He gives her a list of his favorite paintings to see in Boston, including Vermeer’s “The Concert,” famously stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990.

Their love was unconsumated — Emily called it “abnormal” — but the letters attest to their physical attractions — kissing and her resting her head on his shoulder. At one point Eliot counsels her not to shy from same-sex relationships.

Indeed, he reports that the English writer Lytton Stratchey once kissed him unexpectedly — which caused him to laugh and never be alone in a room with Stratchey again.

When Vivienne died in 1947, Eliot was in his late fifties, and Emily assumed they could finally be together. But in 1957 Eliot chose to marry his secretary, Valerie Fletcher, who was 38 years younger – he 68, she 30. This left Hale “devastated.” She never saw Eliot again.

When Hale gave his letters to the Princeton library, Eliot was rather displeased — even though he had originally suggested they both donate their letters together. He drafted a statement that has only now been made public. He addresses why he did not marry her, saying that the analytical Hale would have killed the poet in him. At least his troubled wife left the poet alone. In retrospect, he states, the “nightmare” of his 17-year marriage seemed to be preferable to the boring misery of the mediocre drama teacher who had been the alternative had he been with her. Once Vivienne died, he said, he realized he did not love Emily. He only loved the memory of being in love with her.

That sentiment, however, was not what we found reading the let-

It took the French mathematical physicist Cecile DeWitt-Morette to beguile him to join the full party, where he amused everyone with his sense of humor.

Eliot shares the big and small things in his life. He complains about physical discomfort and lack of money. And he repeatedly declares his love to Hale. She is the most important person in the world to him. He writes about his hope that his wife will die, and also about his guilt about this hope. But when she actually dies, he writes (we paraphrase): “I have lived on a deserted island for seventeen years. I was never a complete man. But I am my past and everything that goes with it.

—Yet when we came back, late, From the hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not speak …

And the bittersweet garden scene in “Burnt Norton:” What might have been and what has been Point to one end, which is always present.

Footfalls echo in the memory Down the passage which we did not take.

Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.

LE

inally, after 50 years, the time has come. On a rainy morning in early January, the two of us descend into the catacombs beneath Princeton’s Firestone Library to read the most famous sealed library archive in the world. These are the 1,131 letters that T.S. Eliot wrote to his confidant, muse, and paramour Emily Hale. She gave them to Princeton in 1956, against his wishes, with the provision they not be opened for a half-century after they both had died. Emily died in 1969, setting the stage for the drama of the past two months.

On January 2, 2020, the copper bands were snipped off and the padlocks unlocked for eager scholars to inspect the forbidden letters.

What will they discover? After all, the much-anticipated letters could just as well be a profusion of laundry lists. Eliot was nothing if not a proper and reserved gentleman, educated at Harvard and Oxford, who bought his bespoke suits from Langrock’s, the former bastion of Ivy League style on Nassau Street. A framed letter from Eliot hung on the wall of their fitting room for years.

But the course of true love is never predictable.

We are no Eliot scholars, but we are fascinated by his work and curious about his life. We have been talking about the letters for a while.

When they became available, we wanted to see and read them.

We were not at all disappointed.

From the very first letters, we encounter a previously unknown T.S. Eliot, a complex man who explodes with passions and contradictions.

He writes Emily that he has loved her since the day they met at a friend’s house in Boston in 1912.

He then was a graduate student in philosophy at Harvard; she a drama and speech coach at Simmons College. He had awkwardly stepped on her toes at a relative’s house while rehearsing her production of Jane Austen’s “Emma.” They later went to an opera together, “Tristan un Isolde.”

Eliot confesses his love to her again before leaving for England to study at Oxford and before his precipitous marriage in 1915 to the flamboyant but troubled Vivienne Haight-Wood (described by some as “a girl you would not introduce to your mother”).

In 1922, the married Eliot rekindled his romance with Emily after a meeting in Eccleston Square in London. Eliot then regularly met Emily during her summer visits with her aunt and uncle in the charming hamlet of Chipping Camden in the Cotswolds.

In the manner of lovers, Eliot and Emily share their life stories — and discuss their feelings and flaws. Eliot emphatically tells her he loves her but cannot control his temper, his pride, his cravings for whiskey and tobacco, and his passionate longing for her. In the manner of the philosopher Bertrand Russell he has experimented with adultery — but concluded that “it doesn’t work.” (We don’t have Emily’s side of their correspondence, since Eliot later had her letters burned.)

He also tells her that she has been the inspiration for some of his most affecting poetry — such as the hyacinth girl lines in “The Waste Land”:

Although my background is in the lighting business, I am open to opportunities in other industries as well.
