Dear Family of Donald Frank,
Donald was well-liked and I always enjoyed seeing him at our High School classmates’ luncheons these past few years.
Donald and I were in the same homeroom the year he married Dianne. I can still remember that morning when our homeroom teacher, Sally Fullner, said that Donald had an announcement. He told us the big news that he and Dianne had gotten married! There stood Donald with a look on his face that was a mixture of great joy and a fair amount of fear. It wasn't so much a matter of "What have I done!" as it was "I have done it!"
I also knew Dianne. Her Grandmother Bailey lived a block from my house on 3rd Street, just down from Roberts Funeral Home. My Dad and Dianne’s Dad, Sport Bailey were friends. Sport was the manager of The Marion Theatre at that time if I am not mistaken. I remember going to a surprise birthday party at Dianne’s Grandmother Bailey’s house in the 5th or 6th grade. She was the first girl I ever had a crush on (5th grade), but I was far too shy to let on. She never knew. Donald got a good laugh out of that when I told him about it at one of our luncheons.
They are fondly remembered; my thoughts are with you.
