Frank's father passed away at Methodist Hospital in Houston.

Reportedly, Frank's mother Dolly was a power in Democrat politics in Hoboken and got her husband the job and the promotion.

I am truly disappointed that Trevor Story is not pictured in the uniform of his current team, the Boston Red Sox! But his father did him good!

British billionaire Mike Lynch- known as the Bill Gates of the UK- is missing with five others after his yacht capsized in a storm off the coast of Sicily Monday. He started his first tech company with a $4000 loan from a promoter of the rock band Genesis, who he met in a pub. This company was a
computer system that allowed police to match fingerprints. In 2011 he sold next his company Autonomy to Hewlett Packard for $11.1 Billion (although under a legal cloud).

His father, a member of the London Fire Brigade, advised not to follow him "earning a living running into burning buildings".

I think a lot of guys may be able to relate to this.

Money doesn't always buy happiness.
A millionaire, a billionaire, can have their money.
But only firefighters can relate to the job satisfaction that comes with it and many would NOT want to trade places with Bill Gates.

Willy, you nailed it. Did I work 3 jobs sometimes, yes. But I had the best job there is, and I will always hold my head high, just like all firefighters can. Some things money can’t buy.
