Frank passed, several years ago now.  I believe his widow was Mary, but my 
hand isn't anywhere near the good book.  And while its possible that some 
sort of disposition has been done to FHL property that may show up in a 
list search, I can't quote it at this late date.  My own searches of my 
coco corpus, which goes back to 2002 on this machine weren't fruitful, 
darnit...

Perhaps someone else can find it in their email morgue?

Cheers, Gene
