Last Friday, May 4th, the state of Florida lost a treasure, when Walter Whetstone–sweet, kind, gracious man, and the brilliant creator of the Whetstonian–passed away. He was 81.
With JaxPsychoGeo, please celebrate the life of Walter Whetstone. Below you’ll find 1) a gofundme drive to “Support the Whetstones” and “Save the Whetstonian,” 2) Walter’s obituary, and 3) two JaxPsychoGeo reveries of this great man and his art.
Here’s the gofundme drive: “Support the Whetstones” / “Save the Whetstonian”
