Frank entertains in the auditorium
June 16, 2007
After lunch we moved from the cafeteria to the auditorium. The walk through the halls brought back so many memories. Are those the same lockers? So little has changed since 1957.
Frank Vetters is a master at collecting and relating information about Sheffield High School, the city and the period of time we spent in the Sheffield school system. Frank is entertaining and interesting. The pictures show that he definitely had our attention. Loads of good memories and laughs. Hey, do you remember your first phone number?
Jon Guy Franks was going to play piano for us. Sadly, that was not to be. Pat brought some copies of one of Jon's CDs. A wonderful talent; so few of us knew.
