- Notes
- "Bishop John Frame ('Bishop John Timothy Frame: 1930-2017', Oct. 2017, p. 9) was a man with a calling. After the Chooutla Indian Residential School (Carcross, Yukon) closed, he visualized an alternative school within that building. In the early [19]'70s, he began the Carcross Community Education Centre. High school students came from across Canada. Parent Members (teachers) were idealistic young professionals. Bishop Frame required them to accept a two-year commitment at $50/month, under a Rule of Life. I was one of those who responded to Bishop Frame's vision: it changed my life. I continued to teach and became a clergy wife. I will always be thankful to Bishop Frame for believing in us. His deep caring continued until his death. May he rest in peace, a good and faithful servant of God". [Text of entire article.]
