This photo appeared in the local newspaper in 1952 when he, along with a group of other rodders, wanted to build a drag strip so they would have a safe and legal place to race.

The street you see in the background is Gratiot Avenue in Roseville, Michigan. </div></div>

THAT IS ONE AWESOME PICTURE!! </div></div>

Something kinda cool happened since I posted those photos of Frank. I meet his grandson Scott! (he came into my store). Unfortunately, Scott never got to know his Grandfather Frank as he was in a fatal accident about 7 years after that photo was taken. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] He told me that he found his wedding ring (you can see it in the photo above ^) while cleaning out his aunt's house (she recently passed away) and that he was considering having it sized so that he could wear it.

I asked for his e-mail address so I could send him some pics of his grandfather. One of the pics I sent was this one of his Grandma &amp; Grandpa:



Scott’s been back in the store since then and showed me that <span style="font-weight: bold">THIS</span> pic is now the wallpaper on his phone. How cool is that? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
