Dear Ken
Thank you for presenting the ICEC plaque to me in Frank's honor. I have it displayed in our living room with the other one he received from AACEI.
The words you expressed about Frank meant a lot to me and my family.
I know Frank loved his work with the International group and he made many friends there. I didn't get to know many of them, so I would appreciate it if you would pass along my gratitude to them.
This award is so meaningful to our family. We are aware of the great honor bestowed to Frank. It helps to ease our sorrow, knowing how much everyone thought of him.
Sincerely
Veronica Postula
