In Memory of Bob Frost (1952-2011)

"Robert Frost...recently passed away. Bob was an advocate for open access in his own right, creating the Frost Open Access Fund to support student and faculty projects related to open access to information at the School of Information. Bob and his wife, Margaret Hedstrom, started this fund by using royalties earned as heirs to Bob’s great-grandfather’s works (who was Robert Frost, the poet). Bob and Margaret’s argument for creating this fund resides in the belief that the public should benefit from these royalties since it is the public that continues to express interest in the writer Frost’s work....At Open.Michigan, we hope that the public will continue to express interest in Robert L. Frost, the professor and contributor to information and knowledge that is open, accessible and adaptable....You can contribute to his memory and his dedication to open access by making a donation to the Frost Open Access Fund...."
