While burdened with cancer I´m fortunate to be surviving (90) and this morning treasuring the memories of the treat of having known and working closely with Mitch for many years. I´m out of date with news of the family, warm regards to Lita & Jim if surviving or not. Kids, your Dad was a wonderful friend and a unique combination of intelligence, compassion, and work ethic. I truly miss him!

Many fond memories of Mitch and his extraordinary work ethic, values, and innovative ideas. He was a dynamic valued Director of Midland National Bank for many years. His advertisng prowess was unique and responsible for our Bank's growth. He was close friend during those years and I'll always regret not having the opportunity to rekindle our memories in recent times.

My husband John worked for Manpower. I'll never forget the day he came home after the Blue Arrow takeover and said that Mr. Fromstein was "fired." I said, "he'll be back running Manpower--no one can take Manpower from him and get away with it." And he did and the rest is history. He had such a vision for the company. Our deepest sympathy to his family.
