Jack Rhodes, who offered over 20 film seminars at Björklunden, and taught into his final year in 2022, left us with the words “I will be with you there in spirit.”
The Jack and Glenda Rhodes Endowed Fund for Björklunden has been established to honor Jack's and his wife Glenda’s contributions to the seminar program and to sustain film and media studies at Björklunden. We invite your help in endowing this fund. If interested, please contact Mike Tompos at (507) 301-1728.
Rhodes elegantly defined the SPIRIT of a Björklunden seminar week as:
- generative Solitude,
- amazing People,
- Intellectual ideas and rigor,
- the Rhythm of enriching daily experiences,
- a liberating Independence of thought, and
- a Tranquility with the power to transport you to another time.
