The Frye Legacy-
a Lifetime of Accomplishment!
By Randall Reynolds
The Sedona Legend Web Site is a historical narrative enhanced with photos presented for
educational and entertainment purposes. Some materials may be displayed in regard to the
United States Fair Use Act. This web portal is totally non-profit and generates no income, nor
does it seek or has it ever accepted a single donation. It is an independent venture.
While this web site is not "officially" affiliated with Red Rock State Park in any way, it was
envisioned and created to give park visitors a more indepth historical perspective in regard to
the former 700 acre Frye Ranch property.
Sedona Legend is encouraged and supported by the Jack Frye Family, to include Jack's
daughter, Nevajac Frye, Jack's late sister, "Sunny" Frye Thomas, the Helen Frye family,
and the many friends of Jack and Helen Frye.
What Is Sedona Legend?
Sedona Legend Helen Frye is a 9-year-old website which represents more than just a mere web
presence. It is the largest comprehensive archive in the world dedicated to documenting the
lives of Jack Frye and Helen Varner Vanderbilt Frye. This includes notable events and
associates of the Fryes with a focus on the glamour and history of their paths.
July 2010- A new beginning: the end to over 1500 pages of printed material available freely
online- It is not possible to feature the entire Sedona Legend archive on the World Internet as
reference material in an easy to peruse format.
A new direction: More suitably certain events will be featured and referenced as to the general
"years” they occurred in "historic windows”. These place markers will be adjusted from time to
time. I hope this will serve to highlight the story in an entertaining and glossy presentation.
The future of Sedona Legend- The Jack and Helen Frye Story? A suitable forum for the archive
is being explored aside from a book project. In the end it is hoped that all the information can
always be shared with the public in a fluid and generous manner.



A milestone! This website is nearly 10-years old and a lot of effort and tenacity has been put
forth to secure the Frye History. It has been a challenge to try to round up information and
images of the Fryes and try to log them into one central place. This information is now secured
and the Frye association with Sedona, and our country at large, has become a rich and valuable
archive. Eventually, this archive will be secured with the Smithsonian, or a similar such
organization, which will insure its preservation indefinitely. In regard to the images, locating
them has been especially challenging. Many photos are either not recognized as to their historic
value or are held in collections and can’t be shared. This is troubling but this is encountered
often in historical research.
I am constantly seeking to add to the visual side of Jack and Helen’s Story and an associated
photo truly is worth a thousand words! Photographic images paint scenes that paragraphs can
only attempt at. If you have any photos of the Fryes, their planes, homes, etc., to share with
this work, it would be more than welcome! Please keep in mind, that even though you feel
there is plenty of TWA history out there already, the direction of this archive is not TWA
history, rather it is Frye History, and that history as associated with TWA. There is a difference.
All that is needed is a high resolution electronic scan. Nearly everyone today has a scanner.
Any parties who do not know how to scan an image, can send the photo to me and I will scan
and return it safely and honestly. I have never lost a photo from any party and I have processed
100’s of images. I never share such images with second parties and only run them on this
website with a watermark to protect the parties who own them. I also make sure that the party
associated is credited.
It is an eternal quest of mine to round up any and all Frye images into this archive to share
with the public, freely, on the International Internet, a medium I support and believe is the bon
a fide future of all archived information. History should be shared, not tucked away, as often
times this leads to such information being discarded by subsequent heirs and parties.
To contact me in regard to images you desire to share please just E-Mail me and I will evaluate
what you possess.
Every time I receive new images I am extremely grateful! To me it is like fitting pieces into a
big puzzle. I am always touched and awed by what is submitted and the thoughtfulness of my
viewers! The Fryes deserve to be remembered, not only for their association with Sedona, but as
well, for their historical connections with our country.
