I am a granddaughter of Gaylord M Du Bois and I am currently trying to organize and research grandpa's life and writing history. My plan is an exhibition and since I am a visual artist it will likely be portrayed in an artistic manner rather than just panels of information. I have had a couple of offers for an opening venue but have still not made any firm committments. Grandpa was born in Massachusetts, died in Florida, lived in New York and the Adirondacks, and also was a deputy sheriff in Wyoming. He toured Texas and New Mexico extensively and spent many summers in the Peace River Country of Alberta. I had thought a central location for the initial exhibition but I am still open to suggestions. I am also open to any information any readers care to share about Gaylord Dubois' writing, ministry, travel or anything else related to his life. There is a google button below that will allow you to email me directly -- or you can just add your comments on any post.
