FRANK S. KADAR

I'm sure I wasn't what Frank expected in a son-in-law, but from the moment we met, he was never less than respectful and friendly to me. Over the two decades I knew him, we became quite good friends.

A few years ago Carl enjoyed a private tour of the USS Midway conducted by Frank. We were so sorry to hear about his illness this year and so saddened to learn of his passing. He will be missed.
