Interview with Willis Ward, curator at Camp Chesterfield Hett Art Museum, 11 Feb. 1995: A. (Gus) Norman was famous Psychic Photographer who lived on grounds. He was already doing spirit photography in 1886 when Camp Chesterfield was formed.  He was called Gus because his name was similar to his wife's, Ada. He lived in several different cottages during summer season, and had a Florida address, ___ Lake (Clear Lake?). His widow lived in Camp Chesterfield after his death.  Camp Chesterfield hastwo large framed portraits of him, one a spirit photo.  Also many cabinet sized that Willis says were by him, but none are marked on the front.  Willis identified an early Norman trademark as a white hatchet below the sitter.
