I am so sorry for your loss, Mary Dee. I really missed you and Frank when you moved to a different townhome. I enjoyed reading the book Frank wrote, and still enjoy the plate you left me with-the one with the log cabin covered with snow, the pine trees and pile of cut firewood. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Frank was an amazing man who was instrumental in so many wonderful programs while I knew him at SECC. He went on to even greater achievements. Lovely obituary for an ambitious man whom I had lost track of many years ago. Sincere condolences, Dick and your entire family.
