- Suggested the name "Corlear" for fictional city in Winter of Frozen Dreams. The actual spelling "Corlaer" was the 18th century name for Schenectady where the movie was entirely filmed. Corlaer was an honorary title that Native Americans gave the governors of New York State during the 18th century as an honor of respect, named for Arendt Van Curler, founder of Schenectady in 1661 and friend to the Natives in all negotiations among the Dutch, French and English.
