Frank Gormlie was a student activist during May 1970 at the University of California San Diego. After graduation he founded an ""underground newspaper"" called the Ocean Beach People's Rag - or OB Rag -- named after the San Diego community of Ocean Beach. Art Kunkin, the publisher of the Los Angeles Free Press, called the OB Rag the best progressive community newspaper in the country. Frank continued as a grassroots community activist and was involved in saving the local ecology, in democratic urban planning, working in solidarity with the Chicano and Mexican-American power movements in the 1970s, supporting people's struggles in Central American and South African, and against apartheid, the draft and nuclear power in the 1980s. In addition, he published and edited a small progressive magazine called The Whole Damn Pie Shop. Frank worked for a series of non-profits, including managing a community medical clinic, and then went to law school in the mid-1990s. Upon graduation in 1996, Frank had a 20-year practice in criminal and civil law in San Diego. Retiring from the law, Frank and his partner Patty Jones founded an online version of the former community newspaper, the OB Rag in 2007, which he still edited as late as 2024. Frank has one daughter, Michelle Seguin, who lives in Oregon with her husband Forrest and their two children, Skylar and Ronan.
