Artist survives quake, friend dies
Two artists with Chicago ties were sitting together in the Peace of Mind Hotel in coastal Jacmel, Haiti, when the earthquake hit. Sue Frame, sprinted outside at the first tremor and survived.
“It was just instinct,” said her mother, Doris Frame, of Batavia.
But Frame’s close friend and collaborating artist, Flo McGarrell, who got a master’s degree in 2004 from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, wasn’t so lucky. He paused too long and couldn’t escape before the building collapsed, killing him instantly, Doris Frame said.
The message of survival and death didn’t reach Frame’s parents until Wednesday night, when a Haitian friend with e-mail access relayed a hand-scrawled note from their daughter. Full Press Release…
