OVING north to escape the intense summer heat,
she traveled through Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Indiana and Ohio. She stopped to document the
architectural history in each state along the way.
She hit the four-month mark in Buffalo, New York,
with no more fear to hold her back.
“I would get out of the van in a Walmart parking lot, in my Tinker
Bell pajamas, and go in and brush my teeth,” Roman says. “I just
didn’t care anymore.”
She began to feel worn out after so many months alone in the van.
A trip to Boldt Castle in upstate New York gave Roman a new perspec-tive.
Millionaire George C. Boldt planned the castle as a tribute to his
wife, Louise. Louise died before the castle was complete and an incon-solable
George sent a message to the workers telling them to put down
their tools immediately.
The castle fell into disrepair and was vacant for over 70 years.
“The mansion didn’t mean anything to George if his wife wasn’t
there,” Roman says. “As I was standing there thinking about this
story, I thought, ‘I’ve had a hell of an adventure, but it didn’t mean
anything if nobody was there with me.’”
Dr. Eglinton is now seeing patients at our
Ogden location in Wilmington.
Please join us in welcoming
her to the team.
