According to what my Mother always told me, Frank was destine to become a military man because he loved uniforms. His first job was as a usher at the Strand Theater in Allentown, PA … He then graduated to the US Marine Corps.
Just a note regarding “the four little Marine guys” … Only one actually became a Marine: Bobby served in the Army in Germany in the 1950’s, Billy served in the Marines in Hawaii & Japan in the ’50’s and Eddie served in the Army in New Jersey in the 1960’s.
