One of Jack Sheridan's favorite
photo mysteries is this view of woodland nymphs, thought to have
been shot by Herman Simonson and somehow related to Ox-Bow. Does
anyone know? |
JULY 9, 2010 -- An intimate look at Ox-Bow during
the mid-1960s and 70s, visualized with a collection of rare,
never-exhibited photos, will highlight the Saugatuck-Douglas
Historical Society "Tuesday Talk" on July 20 in the Old School House
Discovery Center, 130 Center Street, Douglas. The one-hour program
begins at 11 a.m.; admission is free and public attendance is
invited.
Presenting "Life at Ox-Bow; The Radical 1960s",
Douglas artist/author Judy Bowman Anthrop will guide the audience
through the Ox-Bow campus of that era, looking at its built
environment and activities and how they reflect the growth and
development of the school, based on research for her recently
published book "A Portrait Of Ox-Bow: Architecture - Art - Artists".
Audience participation is welcomed to enliven the discussion with
questions, personal memories and old photographs from private
collections.

The July 20 Talk is sponsored by
Harbor Duck
Adventures, a summertime
attraction in Saugatuck and Douglas familiar for its World War II
Army amphibious vessel serving as a big water taxi touring the towns
both by road and the waters of Kalamazoo River and Saugatuck Harbor.
Tuesday Talks with varying topics and sponsors
will be held throughout the summer, concluding August 31, in the
west exhibit room at The Old School House. Free but limited parking
is available in the Old School House driveway, with more along
Center Street and nearby side streets.
