In Memoriam
We are deeply saddened to report the passing of matriarch,
Edith I.V. Clark, who met
William George Clark, Freeport founder, at the Giant Gold Mine in
Yellowknife, NWT, in the 1950's.
Originally from Vienna, Austria,
Edith was an adventurer, a published author, actress, talented
artist, musician, teacher, and most of all, a dedicated mother.
'Mutti' was a free spirit who lived life creatively, with an
unextinguishable joie de vivre even in times of great
hardship. A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday,
April 8. Friends wishing to attend may contact us for
details.
Freeport also acknowledges the
recent sudden passing of Zenaida
Manalo, friend and past CFO. Zeny's sunny, frank
disposition was a cornerstone in our daily operations. She is
missed.
