In 14 days Frank will have been dead 5 years but today is his birthday. He would have been 57 today. Gonna put on my leathers with " Riding in memory of Frank " Torch " Skokan ' on them and have a couple shots after work today. Your gone Frank but never forgotten. Sure enjoy being your friend and was blessed to know you. Ride on brother !!

Default It's Annette

Dear Lt.

Your a good man remembering Frank. I too wish Frank a Happy Birthday and just know that he and Andy having one heck of a party up there.

Keith Hixson just left my house he came with his wife Susan and their Granddaughter Shelby this afternoon. They were here in Massachusetts and took the time to come and see me.

God bless to all.

Annette (Andy's other half)

Shirley and I send our love. We think of you often and hope you are doiing OK. We were up on Roan Mountain today and we passed the spot where Tom, Andy and I laid down and watched the clouds go by. Somebody had stuck some little American flags there. I have no idea why.
