Nancy, Capp & Marie (and Mom, of course!) - so sorry to hear about your Dad. I always feel that he helped me jump start my real career. And I wonder why that happened ... Nancy and I from totally opposite sides of the tracks . . . and if it wasn't for Frank and his great relationships with others, I would not be where I am today. Thank you to Frank, and to Milly, that today I enjoy the life I have!
Again my condolences, Frank was a wonderful Dad, and a major influence in my life - like he needed one more daughter!
Remember when I showed up to pick up Nancy in my new red car - the Datsun B210? And Frank came out with Nancy's luggage and said something like "what? my daughter's going to Rochester in this little thing #$%@! " ... and away we went. As it was, not long after that, there was an accident (my fault) and Nancy ("the daughter") got stiches in her head!
Regardless of our younger years' decisions and choices (like all kids - we had to learn the hard way!), the fact that Frank was there to watch out for all his girls - including Me - helped me make better decisions. And for that - thank you Frank, for the great influence you were, and still are, on the ladies in your life! BetsyW

Dear Nancy and the Trinder family:
We’re very sorry to hear of your loss. I recall first meeting Mr. Trinder many years ago while he was hanging a pot rack in Nancy’s new apartment in Arlington. He was a gentleman, good-hearted, a good dad and he loved his girls. Our hearts go out to Mrs. Trinder and the whole family. Friends from Gannett,

Hello Beautiful Marie Trinder - I'm very sorry that you and your sisters have lost your Dad. What loving memories you all must have. Teaching with you at Linlee Elementary was joyous. That school closed just this year and a new one named Sanderville opens next week. Hope your life is full of love!! Marilyn Cook

Dear Marie,
I read the sad news about your dad today in the paper. I am so sorry Marie. Ironically, I just talked to Gail two days ago and were reminiscing about our teenage years. Our parents were very patient with us, that is for sure! She asked when I heard from you last and I told her it was five years ago when my dad died.... Please tell your mother and sisters that I am thinking of them at this time. Love, Julie
