[Spridgets] Suggestions for a couple of paragraphs on Frank?

[Jay]

David,

Minus personal stories, I think that says it all about Frank.

PS Ron, thank you for posting that.

"The Measure of a Man"
http://www.scrapbook.com/poems/doc/26887/374.html
Not -
How did he die? But - How did he live?
Not - What did he gain? But - What did
he give?

These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man,
regardless of birth.

Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart?
And -
How did he play his God-given part?

Was he ever ready with a word of good
cheer?
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not - What was his church?
Not - What was his creed?
But - Had he befriended those really in need?

Not -
What did the sketch in the newspaper say?
But - How many were sorry when he
passed away?

These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man,
regardless of birth.
