Whenever we talked, he was the same old Frank.   When Mike Defino bet Frank and me $25 that we couldn't hitch-hike from Maryland to Florida and back over the 1971 spring break, we immediately took him up on the wager.  We made that trip easily, leaving on a Friday and getting back by Monday evening.  We sent Mike a postcard from Cocoa Beach to prove our success.  Whenever I saw Frank, we'd kick around that memory, and like me, he knew to the penny how much cash we had between us when we left: $3.34.  What an adventure we had as teenagers, one we repeated the next year.  I attended Frank's wedding in '78, and he mine in '81.   We stayed in touch over the years, talking on the phone from time to time.  I last saw Frank in 2005 when I passed through Cleveland; we went to an Indians game, a good memory that will stay with me.   Frank always remained kind and considerate, a good man who was a good friend.
