Those of us who know Dr. Frank know that he does not like to brag about his accomplishments. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to make fellow Forum members aware of an honor that was recently bestowed upon our friend. I am publishing the following letter he received because he is too humble to disclose it himself.

Dear Dr. Pikul,
Perhaps you have heard of me and my nationwide campaign in the cause of temperance. Every season for the past fourteen years, I have toured the United States delivering a series of lectures on the evils of drinking.
I have been accompanied on each tour by my friend, Clyde Pasternak. Clyde, a young man of good family and excellent educational background, is a pathetic example of a life ruined by excessive indulgence in whiskey and wild sexual activity.
Clyde would appear with me at the lectures and sit on the platform staring at the audience through bloodshot eyes; wheezing, sweating profusely, picking his nose, passing gas, fondling his genital area and making obscene gestures to the audience. During my presentations, I would point to him as an example of what overindulgence can do to a person.
Unfortunately, Clyde passed away earlier this year. A mutual friend has given me your name and I am writing to inquire if you might be available to take Clyde's place on my next tour.
Hopefully,
Rev. Elton P. Washington
Pastor
