APRIL 2003 SPOTLIGHT - FRANK (FCDISCUS)

[Denny]

As president of his fan club ;D I have to say that Frank is a swell guy no matter what Tad says about him when he is offline
Frank,

Now that you are retired you should move here to the midwest, Slow down, relax,take it easy,get away from all the traffic and noise.

Frank;

That write up brought back a flood of memories. Back in the late 60's (can you believe how long ago that was), I was a young kid in Queens waiting for the Thursday ad from Ed's Aquarium. It was a 1.5 mile walk each way from our apartment and I did it once a week to buy 25 cents worth of tubifex worms for my angels!

Do you remember a huge store in downtown Manhattan called New York Aquarium Shop, or something like that? It had stuff you only saw in the Innes book.

OK, I'm back in 2003. Thanks for the memories, Willie

I have a few questions for you Frank . . . Why do you keep all your filter boxes under your tanks . . . . what did you do for a living that you can retire at 52 . . . and what are all those boxes stacked up on the right hand side of the last picture on page one, perfectly aligned and facing the same direction . . . . my family wonders why I keep my shirts, etc. in color order starting with red on the left and progressing through the rainbow with black and white on the end. . lol

You're getting some really nice discus. You're lucky to live in a large metropolitan area with a market for discus. Good luck to you!

[SLY]

frank it's good to know more about you and read your passion about discus..keep up the good work and enjoy the fruit of your success. Good Luck.
