Dragon Yearbook 1938
Frank's nickname was "Frankie", as he signed his name 76 years ago.. He was known for the following qualities: A silent classmate.... as independent as his birthday -- July 4th....puttering....trustworthy....native simplicity....considerate.
According to the Social Security Administration's Popular Baby Names website, "Frank" was among the top 10 popular names for boys for 43 years -- from 1880 to 1922. It spent another 25 years in the top 25, from 1923 to 1947.
I can imagine the silent, puttering, independent Frankie having a fondness for this song, a bit hit for Bing Crosby in early 1938.
