Title: John Simon Quietly Performs In The Snow
Post by: Henry on March 06, 2007, 10:31:12 AM

Hi All,

A special thanks to Jill Wells for sending me these photos.  Although they are small, you get the general idea of the pains John Simon takes in creating these circles.
These photos were taken last week -- How does he do this??  He walks around on snow shoes.

Hey John:

Nice work!  My son points out your crop circles to all who are in the car.  He too is amazed by your work.

To bad there isn't a way he can cover his entry tracks to the circle!!

I doubt John will read this, but I still think he should teach children how to make those!  Shelburne Farms has many pairs of children's snowshoes...it would be a cool goemetry project for some teacher to do with students. 
John makes tiles with similar shapes/designs for kitchens/bathrooms.

I saw John on my way to Burlington this am.  I told him that his crop circles were on the town web page.  He was really excited that people took an interest in his work.  John may visit me later this week, I will be sure to show him the pictures.
