Frank is truly a wonderful person! My Father played in the secondary with him and was the backup quarterback on the 1965 Hillsville High School football team. It’s great to see Hillsville’s Main Street coming back to life and all those familiar smiles around the 3:50 mark. It sure makes me want to make the journey home on Labor Day weekend and then proudly go with Dad to see Virginia Tech upset Ohio State. Go Hokies!
I played on the same field in the early 70’s when the new high school was already opened. The first football game I ever saw was there and Frank was the QB. I know several of the guys he had lunch with and it’s cool to see them with him. They all love him like a brother. He really is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. 🙂
