  3. Hi Coke. Sue and I are so sorry to hear about Frank. My memories of Frank were playing sports with him when we all worked at Collins. The “Green Gable” sponsored all our teams and after games we would frequent that bar. They had shuffleboard and we all just had a good time spending the evening drinking beer, playing shuffleboard and enjoying our time with each other. We all came from different places and we we always enjoyed talking trash about each others colleges. I also remember Frank playing the guitar any chance he could. We will miss him dearly.
