Finally!!!! Here’s my 2nd story on my “Extraordinary Everyday New Yorkers” on Beacon Reader. And I’m truly proud of it!
It is an absolute pleasure to be able to share the inspiring story of Frank H Jump, artist, teacher, activist, SURVIVOR… 30 years living with HIV, a situation he turned around from the start to inspire him to live life fully and create, which he did with his extraordinary project “The Fading Ad campaign”. And how great to be able to publish today… on Frank’s actual 54th birthday. Thank you, dear Frank, for opening the door and your heart to me and let me tell your story. Thank you to our common darling friend, Ruth, who made it possible for our paths to cross. You are such an inspiration.
Much love and happy birthday, Frank!!! To many many more (healthy and creative) years!!! – Sion Fullana

This was from the very first time I went out to take pictures of painted ads! 1972, between April and June (can’t narrow it down any more than that). It was on 59th St. in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood — the ad is long gone. I had it digitized from an Instamatic print, which accounts for the quality. I’m glad you like it — I chose it especially for your birthday. – Marian Saska

Heaven Hill was founded by several investors shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1935 [1934 according to the Heaven Hill website], including a prominent distiller, Joseph L. Beam, and a member of the Shapira family. As the company developed, the five brothers of the Shapira family bought out the other investors. Joe Beam remained as Master Distiller, along with his youngest son, Harry. Descendants of the Shapira brothers own and run the company to this day. – Wikipedia
