It was on Thursday and Friday of the first week of August that word began to circulate around Gainesville of the passing of a truly loved and respected longtime member of our community who had in recent years relocated to Philadelphia.
Travis Fristoe was a cofounder and major motivator of the zine library in the Civic Media Center in the mid ’90s, was a principle volunteer of Wayward Council, a writer, musician, teacher, librarian and a good friend to many here and around the world. It seemed impossible that such a vibrant person was gone, but he was.
