HE WAS MY UNCLE

My sympathies to Frank's family. Frank and I were the best of friends in grade school and high school. The war years separated us, he in the air force and I in the navy, but he always remained in my memories. I always looked for him at high school reunions but to no avail He was a good friend and I'm certain, a good father and husband.
Sincerely, Harold O. Hansen
