A Frank Story from Artie in AZ:




I remember when Frank had his Honda minibike. He looked like a monkey on a tricycle. MaryAnn told the story of him coming home from church on a Saturday night in his new suit. When they got home his buddies were waiting with their bikes to go for a ride. Without even changing clothes, he was on his bike and gone. Of course the suit was destroyed by the time he got home with that silly *‘shit eatin’ grin on his face. Mary was livid, but what good does that do?

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK!


Look who has a birthday today - yup, you guessed it - our favorite brother, uncle, father, husband, friend - Frank!!!! I'm sure everyone has a story to tell on him, would love to hear some of them.

Frank enjoying himself with Jim - always the life of the party.


Wonder who is telling the biggest tale?

Back in the day, the small town cop would walk through the ally and check to make sure all the doors were locked for the business people. Frank and Mark would lay in wait, take the cop car and hide it from them. Little dickens anyway!
Happy Birthday, Frank!!!

Merry Christmas!!



Twas the night before Christmas and all through the yard,
not a cousin was ready not even Gregory Bernard.

The sodas were flowing and the laughs were contagious,
Uncle Frank was still quite outrageous.

Chris sat begging for the laughs to subside,
because she was getting a stitch in her side.

While Lisa was enjoying a new status with her "cat eyeglasses",
Steve was getting ready to join the masses.

When off to the side Angela heard such a clatter,
Ann said "What in the world is the matter?"

When what to our wondering eyes should appear,
but Bill with all of his camera gear.

He yelled at the top of his lungs,
get your attention.

Up Artie, up Cathy, up Ronnie & Monica;
Up Susan, up Kurt, up Diane and Kenny.

It's time to smile,
it's time to line up tight
and say:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
