To Frank's Family,
I have known Frank since 1972 when I started folk dancing.He and Lila were delights to learn from and their love of Scottish country dance gave us experiences we would not have otherwise known. Lila and I had many conversations about costuming and how to work through different sewing problems. Frank was such a knowledge of history and application of dancing. We spent many hours in board meetings - sometimes not seeing eye-to-eye. He was so caring of Lila when her life became so unmanageable. Right up until three years ago he would drive to folk dancing and have a dance prepared to teach. He was definitly one of a kind and is sorely missed.
My condolences to you all in the loss of your father and grandfather.
Sincerely, Darlyne Mitchell
