Saturday was a chance to catch up with friends on the front patio....and to pause at the 10 year mark since passing of Frank Sinatra, May 1998. There was supposed to be some talk of upcoming outdoor outings too, but with all the banter about Frank, no one quite got to the logistics. There were some good stories, such as being on the Vegas strip when the lights were dimmed as a not to Frank. Or my Dad's story about his Dad's experience back in '44, helping to arrange a visit by Sinatra to East Base during a WWII tour of military bases. No doubt that Frank was the Chairman, when he passed I wondered who now? I recall back in May '98, being on the way to Utah for the George Strait Music Festival, and a vendor outside the venue was selling t-shirt saying "George Strait, the new Chairman of the Board"---certainly I agreed.
