Giss, there was an obituary in the Plain Dealer a few days ago for a Frank Scarl. Is that Northfield's Frank Scarl?

Yes. I have been in Texas all week and missed a chance to get the info out.
My favorite Frank story-- Jug week one year we are stopped at the light on 36 & 71-- he is headed to the sale, I am headed home. He says, Giss youi need to go to the sale and buy a baby. I told him I needed to get home and he said he would just pick one out for me. We were holding up traffic, so I turned onto I71 and headed home.
He leaves a voicemail a couple days later telling me he needed a check for $4K for my half of something or another. I page him, panicked, and he calls back and tells me what he bought and how I said it was okay ..after abotu two minutes, he could not keep it up and totally busted out laughing.
RIP to a one-of-a-kind legend.
We also lost Marty Presser's wife Carole this week after a short illness. The Pressers own several horses with Ron Potter and were fixtures in our clubhouse onweekends.
Super Gizmo Mz Maize N Blu
A tough ten days.

Just became tougher with the passing away of J-Bo. I never met her, but I sure rooted for her. What a courageous young lady. See IntheSulky for Badoldpuddytat's posting.
