Gene --
Thanks so much for letting us know that Frank's car lives again!
Frank was one of the first people I met when I joined the Register shortly
after purchasing my TD in 1973. It was always a pleasure to see him at
Gatherings, and I can still remember the shock I felt when we heard of his
death.
We'll be looking for Dave and the TD this weekend in Oneonta.
