Well, said, Don.
So much has been reported this past week about Frank's amazing contributions to Canadian and international hockey. Carman's Brian Parker eloquently reminded us about Frank's being a dedicated and proficient educator. Many of us were also blessed to know Frank as a talented and inspiring musician. I remember singing with him in Carman United Church's senior choir, and playing alongside him in Carman's community band. Frank and his tenor saxophone occasionally lent their expertise to Carman Collegiate's concert and stage band practices, and this is where I remember Frank's big smile - and the delightful twinkle in his blue eyes - best: casually sharing a common passion, not as our principal, but as our bandmate.
Play on, Frank.
With love,
Marjorie Patterson
