Frank loved the IRC as well as I did. We traveled each year as students from one city to another for student conventions. All of the top names in academia attended , but "we controlled the show" and and really put SFC "on the map", so to speak. I missed Frank because he graduated one year ahead of me in 1962. Ted Spencer and I carried the torch in our senior year and were elected National President, and National Vice-President respectively, much to the glee of Bro. Henry and I have the letter to prove it;

Knowing Frank in College, and re-connecting in later years, was a great ride. Frank e-mailed me only a few days before he died, and I was in a state of disbelief. He sustains me to this day.
