FRANK KRAUSE, MY FRIEND OF 50 YEARS


Frank Krause of California is my best friend of fifty (50) years and we met at Rosemead High School in 1960 at the age of 14. We ran track, laughed and survived many harrowing moments growing up and the ladies always liked Frank for he was one of the first surfer types ever at Rosemead High even owning a woody van and is a collector in his own right.He has two wonderful children in Rachel and Nathan.I cherish my long friendship with Frank and appreciate his kindness and he is also giving and caring in his behavior. Life is about sharing and giving and Frank is the ultimate at that. Thank you Frank for your friendship.
