Nice pic Bish..................I was on your members page a while ago looking for your post from when you met Frank for the first time but could never find it.
You had a picture of the two of you and I was gonna revive it.
For those that would like to put a face to a name...
Here's Frank.

What a great shot of you guys. I remember when you met him, and I'm sure I'm not exaggerating when I say that we all wanted to be you that day Bish. There are plenty of members that I'd love to meet, and Frank was sure one of them.

Sounds like he was a great guy.....made one heck of an impression on a lot of folks here.......wish I could have met him
Just to give you guys a little history about this night:
I had to travel to Des Moines, where Frank lived, for business. I was up before sunrise and drive the 3+ hours, checked in, put a full days worth of work in and he drove over to my motel later that evening. IIRC, this was about 10:30 at night and either a night staffer or a late night traveler was given Frank's camera to shoot some pictures.
This was the lobby of my motel. We must have been down there for 3 or 4 hours. He had so many good stories. I truly listened 80% of the time. So much history and knowledge of drums went with Frank. As a group, we lost a great historian, at least.

Painful day stumbling upon several posts with Frank. I busted up at work and had to take a time out to recompose. Man. It's tough even 5 years later.

You were one of the fortunate guys to be able to meet up with him.
One of my 1st interactions here on the board with him I typed in his user name and I remember his reply back to me........"please, call me Frank"
I used to catch up with him alot in the shout box back then. He always was a very classy guy.
