The Beginning
Marguerite's original design was the Osprey. She actually saw Osprey flying when she was a Park Ranger at False Cape State Park. She wanted to educate people on birds especially the endagered Osprey. She made a model of an Osprey out of paper. Taking a weeping willow branch from a backyard tree she taped a branch to the wings so people could see the graphics she had drawn. When she held its beak it began to beat its wings and fly and she realized she had a kite. Taking her meager earnings she began the steps to start a business. Jack, her longtime friend, helped with the design.
Hence, "Jack" and "kite" made Jackite. |
