But he adds, “I am still a DAMN YANKEE!”

Despite using a walker, Frank enjoys walking and doing physical fitness. You can find Frank partaking in the wonderful sing-a-longs we have at Chateau La Jolla. A member of Toastmasters, Frank is a graduate of USD, class of 1953. That is, the University of South Dakota, NOT the University of San Diego!
