The cigarette ashes falling reminds me of my wonderful grandmother (RIP) who used to make matzo ball soup in her kitchen, while smoking, with the ashes rolling down her blouse. I think they might have been what made the soup taste so good!! I miss her soup....

BTW, some great articles posted. Thanks for sharing, guys.

I had forgotten all about an article I wrote about Frank until someone was kind enough to send me a copy of the August 1974 Sports Scoop. See my article below
