I don't know Frank well. For whatever reason, I can't remember why, he reached out to me to have lunch at a local restaurant (Summers in Arlington). It was a wonderful couple of hours, of which baseball cards and sports were a topic, but comprised only a part. For selfish reasons, I wish I had gotten to know him better. However, much more importantly, I pray that he will pass on without further suffering and that his family and friends will take solace in their treasured memories of him.

Frank Ceresi
I met Frank back in 1998 when I worked at the MCI Center Sports Gallery in DC. The years that we worked together were truly a great experience. From Frank setting me up to assist Scott with the memorabilia displays, having Danny come through the front entrance or Frank volunteering me to run a tour for a 50 high school students from Missouri. Not really an enjoyable experience for someone with public speaking issues but Frank offered nothing but encouragement. You have left a positive mark in my life. Thanks

Unusual bit of circumstance. I was googling "1913 Homestead Grays" to see if I could find an early image of Cum Posey and came across a web page where Frank Ceresi's name popped up. I recalled seeing his name recently on the Net54 forum, and immediately looked this thread up.
Ami - your post literally brought a few tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. I now truly wish I had a chance to meet this great man. All the best in these difficult times to all - including Ryan and Ami.

On a similar note...yesterday I googled something about collecting baseball cards in the 19th century and an article popped up written by Frank as well. It was well written and accurate. My best to Frank and his family.
