Frank was more than a boss to me....he was a friend. A friend who liked people and liked to laugh. Frank once shared a story with me about Cynthia Dotson. Mrs. Dotson was the vocal music teacher at Wyman and like me she traveled between schools. Cynthia always stopped at the Mill Inn for lunch. One day Frank needed to get a message to her so he called the Mill Inn. They paged Cynthia and when she answered Frank said, "This is the FBI" and according to Cynthia she almost had a heart attack. Then Frank said, "Frank Boatwright Investigations" and she could have killed him.
Frank was always doing something at school that brought a smile to your face. I remember many Monday mornings when he would bring a hard boiled egg to school. He swore that he was going on a special diet where he would only eat the egg for lunch. Every Monday the egg was consumed by 10:00 a.m. and Frank ate lunch with the kids around noon.
Janice, Brenda a I will not be able to attend the visitation or funeral. We are moving her soon to be 90 year old mother into an independent living apartment. Know that our prayers will be with you and your kids.
