Returned home from a 3 week vacation about an hour ago. No mail or phone for 3
weeks. Booted the machine and downloaded 1270 Emails. I was scanning the
subjects and one of the first I opened was "Sad News". Like gerard, I first
ran into Frank on the old Austin Healey list and first meet him face to face
at Buster Cluster in 2006.
I'm stunned and want to cry. With Frank you always knew where he stood.
He will be truly missed by all that ever had any contact with him.
