I just found out about my good friend Frank today October 13, 2016 from Marlou Walter Goldman. Frank and I became great pals through Carl Koons Senior year, Fall of 1971 and stayed that way until I lost track of him in the early 1980's. He made me go see that damned Bruce Lee movie "Enter The Dragon" with him so many times that in the end he had to pay me to go. The girls we loved lived across the street from one another. I stole his car from him many times. I'll never forget the night of Frank's 18th Birthday while Carl & I watched as Frank danced insanely to our 8 Track of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" on Felton Lane next to my house in Collingwood. Frank & I made many road trips in his Baracuda up to Carl's college in Delaware. I feel very lucky to have been friends with Frank.
