Frank Sherman (9/27/2000)
Here he is with his life's work literally behind him.
Frank had just celebrated his ninety-first birthday September 4th, 2000. His retirement home is but a few feet behind the camera.
I stopped over to see him and explained that a number of people had emailed me asking about him, or asking to see a picture of him on the "Caroga Times" web site. He, as is often the case, was not in much of a mood to talk, but did allow me to take a few pictures of him.
In
a minute or two he just walked back into the house. There were so many questions
I wanted to ask him, but the timing wasn't right. I thought I would never get
an opportunity to get him to talk of the beginnings of Sherman's.
We
were leaving for California the next week and I had little hope of this quiet,
private man even answering the few questions I had for him, but I was in for a remarkable surprise just
four days later.
