Frank Roberts

Mr. Roberts name came up recently in conversation with classmates from 1980. Not sure I can put into words how much Mr Roberts meant to me as a teacher and director. I would not have graduated had it not been for him. Thank you Mr. Roberts for instilling lasting self confidence in so many of us.

Frank had a heart of gold and was someone who had so many wonderful stories and loved to share them. He is greatly missed. Love, Big D

A truly good guy and friend.
