GREENE – Film producers Fran and Brooke Reidelberger will present “Britain’s Gentle Highway – A Canal Adventure in England, Scotland and Wales,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, and at 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26, at the Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial, 371 Sawyer Road. Admission is free and the doors will open one hour before shows.

Fran Reidelberger has been chasing mountains to see what’s on the other side since his childhood days in Nashville, Ill.

He was a schoolboy basketball player and said his prime motivation was not the roar of the crowd, but the opportunity to travel, even if it was on a bus that broke down as often as not. His major studies were history and journalism at Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass., and Central Michigan University.

The U.S. Navy gave him an opportunity to continue his travels – from coast to coast of the United States and throughout the Far East, with stops in Hong Kong, Japan, Okinawa and the Philippines.

Fran was also stationed at Pearl Harbor for two years, and it was there that he began a 14-year career in daily newspaper work. He started as a cub reporter for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and ended as editor of the Decatur, Ill., Herald and Review. He won a number of awards for writing, editing, newspaper design and creative use of news photos.

He is married to the former Brooke Metcalf, daughter of the late James W. Metcalf, a travel film producer and lecturer. Brooke was a magazine photographer and travel consultant. Together, the Reidelbergers joined the travelogue profession in 1977.

When not traveling the world, the Reidelbergers make their home in Grayling, Mich.
