Summary

The Beaver Island Historical Society was developing a book from more than 800 historic photographs associated with Jerry LaFreniere. The project expanded from a small sampler into a planned volume of more than 100 pages as the committee worked to identify people and scenes.

Evidence limits

The newspaper describes a project in development; it does not establish the final title, publication date, page count, or complete image provenance.

Sources

  1. Community posts announced that a picture book drawn from Jerry LaFreniere’s memories was available at the Print Shop Museum and an art show. This strengthens the evidence that the publication was circulating by late July, while the Beacon remains stronger for the project’s scale and editorial work.

  2. Beaver Beacon, September 2010, "Jerry's Book."
    Reports that Pam Grassmick scanned more than 800 historic photographs, donated them to the Historical Society, and that a Publications Committee subcommittee was expanding a planned sampler beyond 100 pages while identifying people and places. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
