As class was beginning, Frank was at the board filling it with lots'o'numbers. While that was happening, large paper moustaches were being passed around the class. When he turned to see us, he was blessed with a class of 'Frankstaches' grinning back at him. He feigned indignation, but - really - he felt the love.

Mr.Russo was my math teacher at Wilton High School in the 69-70 school year. He taught with enthusiasm, his classes were never boring. He was involved with the students more than that of a Teacher but as a counselor as he was also a class advisor for my class. He had a positive outlook which he conveyed to all he met. He once told me that I should take a classmate, Jo Ann, to a class dance. I had no idea that he sensed that I liked her. Eight years later, we married (46 years). As the years passed, l often thought about Mr. Russo and his positive influence on me. He was a dynamic individual and was demonstrating his "Get Lost" philosophy as a teacher.
I am so sorry for your loss, he was truly an inspiring individual.
