From Cuba to Green Bay: Artist's work depicts 'complex and subtle realities' of life in his home country
GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE GREEN BAY -- When Eduin Fraga was experiencing economic hardship in Cuba, he turned to art and grew to be an accomplished artist. “I started painting at 28 years old because I saw that my brother, who is also an artist, and his friends were able to make money selling art in the market.

WLUK
FOND DU LAC -- From 1923 through 2023, the Hotel Retlaw has remained an integral part of the Fond du Lac community. "It was the hub of the city at one time," lifelong Fond du Lac Resident Bill Weinshrott said. Weinshrott has memories at the hotel dating back to the 1940s.
