DID YOU KNOW?...
Frank says "Hobbies include hiking, camping, horseback riding, target shooting, traveling, chess, blackjack, road rallies, homing pigeon racing, riding roller coasters, listening to old time radio programs (Gunsmoke, the Great Gildersleeve, Jack Benny Show, Fibber Magee And Molly, etc.) and photography. Spectator sports include basketball, football, ice hockey, wrestling and auto and horse racing. My favorite sports teams are Syracuse University Basketball, NY Giants football, and NY Rangers hockey.
I once won a road rally as the navigator in a 1953 Chevy. It's a long story.
I have liked auto racing since I was in grade school and my father took me to see the dirt track modified races. I once attended 9 auto races, all different tracks, in 7 days.
I was an officer in the US NAVY on board two aircraft carriers and a guided missile destroyer."
