Tribute to Gwen Frostic

August 4, 2008 – 8:35 pm

A very well produced short film by Steve Palackdharry, narrated by Huel Perkins:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH23Sqb3Rvo

He writes:

A short tribute film on Gwen Frostic, the legendary Michigan artist who died on April 25, 2001 - the day before her 95th birthday. Frostic was owner and president of a multi-million publishing company in Benzonia, Michigan. As a child, she contracted polio and it affected her walk and her speech. But it never affected her ability to create intricate designs faithful to nature. She continued to work until days before died. The interview with Frostic that I did for this film was done six months before her death.

Visit Steve Palackdharry's website for more about his work and Gwen Frostic Prints for more about this Benzie legend and her work.

You can also see the presses in action in this video.

November 18, 2007 – 4:12 pm

Sorry that we haven't had a new video in a while - in the process of figuring out a new camera so hopefully soon! Here's a cool video that David Gladstone put together, a reflection on the different character of the lighthouses on Lake Michigan at Point Betsie and Frankfort.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5qHcocKjTo

David's YouTube channel is haprock828. He's a 1967 graduate of Frankfort High, and his family came to town in 1957 when his father became the manage of the A&P Store. He's now a United Methodist pastor serving First United Methodist Church of Port Huron.
