November 28, 2008 The Ammonoosuc Times 7 The Ammonoosuc Times Interview On the Air with Nestle Frobish, Frog Lover AT – Good morning and welcome again to our listening audience! You are in for a treat today, brought to you by our generous sponsor, The West Littleton Forge and Ribbon Boutique, where John and Louise welcome you as family. This week, Louise is offering fifteen percent off her patented “Xtra-bite” pulp hooks and, in time for the holidays, John has cornered the market on “Santa Red Satin Brocade” perfect for the decking halls or just testing your creative genius.. AT: There are many remarkable people in the North Country. But today our guest is the celebrated frog lover from across the river in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Mr.Nestle J. Frobish. Could you tell us your life story in thirty words or less, Mr. Frobish? NJF: Yes, certainly………………. AT: You can go ahead now. NJF: Did those two words count against the thirty? AT: No, we’ll overlook them. What is your life story? NJF: For forty seven years I have been the leader of the Worldwide Fair Play for Frogs Committee. AT: That’s only 18 words, Nestle. NJF: During those years I have been the foremost champion of frogdom that….. AT: That what? NJF: I’m sorry, but I hit the thirty word limit. AT: Suppose we let you continue without placing a word limit? NJF: I’m agreeable to that. AT: So go on. Why is it so hard to get you to tell your life story? NJF: Because I don’t feel right about taking advantage of an interviewer for a jerkwater free paper. If this was the Union Leader you wouldn’t be able to get me to shut up. AT: For Pete’s sake tell us your story. I had more luck getting a story out of centenarian Ebenezer Blodgett up in Hart’s Location, and he died forty minutes before I got up there with the tape recorder. NJF: Very well. As an idealistic youth I read in the Berkeley California paper that a renegade member of that state’s legislature named Jerome R. Waldie had introduced an iniquitous bill to destroy frogdom. It read “frogs may be taken by using a slingshot.” AT: I guess that’s not very nice, but do you really think frogdom could be wiped out by boys with slingshots? NJF: It was pretty clear that the slingshot was only the frog’s leg in the turnstile, so to speak. I can’t prove it, but I think the napalm and poison gas lobby were behind this, so we had to fight. AT: Who is this “we”? NJF: We were the Worldwide Fair Play for Frogs and Justice for Morton Sobell Committee. AT: There was such an organization? NJF: There was by that afternoon. I created it like that painting of God playing “pull my finger” with Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. AT: Interesting comparison. But who was Morton Sobell and how did he get involved.? NJF: Well, frankly there weren’t a lot of frog lovers in Berkeley at that time, but there were hordes of left wing student demanding justice for Morton Sobell, so I added his name to boost membership. AT: But who was he? NJF: He was some guy accused of spying for the Soviet Union, or Rhodesia, or the League of Women Voters, or something. When the lefties didn’t show much interest in the frog cause, I dropped Sobell from the name of the organization. I think he was eventually shot. AT: I see. So what did the WFPFFC do? NJF: We launched what proved to be an irresistible public relations and political action campaign to bring Jermoe R. Waldie to heel. It took 44 years. We denied him the governorship of California, and kept on hounding him until at last he repented of his youthful iniquity. AT: He repented? NJF: Yes, the old gent finally appealed to us to be shrove, or shrived, or shriven – we never quite decided what that term was because we never had occasion to shreve anyone before he finally came around. He signed the declaration of abjuration, forswearing any future anti-frog activities, and took it down to the notary public and got it notarized. I benevolently shraved him, and he is now known as Brother Jerome and is living in serene retirement out in the Golden State. AT: That’s a pretty inspiring story, Nestle. Has the WFPFFC engaged in other activities during its 47 years, besides hammering on Jermoe R. Waldie until he agreed to be shrove? NJF: No, not really. That was pretty much a full time job. AT: We’re about out of time. Can we talk to you again and ask you for some other revealing insights into the life of a professional frog defender? NJF: No, not really. You’ll just ask me if I’m Batman, and I’ll just have to deny it again. AT: And if I promise not to ask that? NJF: Well, maybe. But no tricks. AT: So we thank again John and Louise at thee West Littleton Forge and Ribbon Boutique for making this all possible. For the holidays, don’t forget: “Satin and Steel” are an unbeatable combination.
