Newsmakers for the week of
November 7, 2004 Retired Brockport High School English teacher Lee Frisbee has published a poetry chapbook, Andrew Wyeth's World. The collection is an insightful view of several portraits and landscapes by America's foremost naturalist artist, Andrew Wyeth. The poems correspond to selected Wyeth paintings, such as "Christina's World." They give an overview of Wyeth's lifetime observations of people and places in Pennsylvania and Maine. The booklet is illustrated with 30 woodblock-style sketches created by Edward Wm. Visick of Hampshire, England, a watercolor landscape artist, educator and personal friend of the poet. The booklet is available at Lift Bridge Book Shop, or directly from the poet at 637-5672. Dr. Milton F. Brown, a Spencerport native and 1963 graduate of SUNY Oswego, was inducted into the Oswego Athletic Hall of Fame at the fourth annual induction October 9 at SUNY Oswego. Brown was among eight former athletes and coaches inducted. Brown, a triple threat in basketball, baseball and soccer, was named All-SUNY Athletic Conference in these three sports, played on two SUNYAC basketball championship teams (1963-64 and 1964-65), and played on the SUNYAC championship baseball team in 1965. Brown also played in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization and is a member of the Spencerport High School Hall of Fame. His mother, Annabelle V. Brown, and his sister, Adelia Glover, both reside in Spencerport. Brown is a visiting professor at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky.
