I believe that Frank Finkel was a gentleman that you met at Houlihan's in Framingham, MA who installed hot tubs for a living. If my memory serves me correctly, you dated him in the late 80's. Or, was he the other Frank Finkel who had something to do with some skirmish with the Native Americans way back when?
I stand corrected. Not only did Frank Finkel play the lead in "Friday at the Fair with Fess Parker", he was the first person who coined the term "fiddlehead" (now in season by the way). I believe that he also invented the shoe horn. He was somewhat of a Benjamin Franklin.
Frank Finkel was a fine fellow, once famously fined for frying fish on Friday, who fought for the French for, well, forever. For four families, Monsieur Finkel freed their fathers, firing five ferocious falconets at the fieldwork fortress of Fayetteville, a formidable feat. The feud finished when the federated forces of Farragut were forced to forgo their first fight. "Franky" as Frank's friends referred to him, found final freedom from fear in Framingham after a fatal fit of flu.
Unless it's a different Frank Finkel you're talking about.

Frank Finkel played the lead in the critically panned musical 'Friday at the Fair with Fess Parker.' Everyone knows that.

Nope, that's the one Jack.
ReplyDeleteAnn - I think that you should change the name of your blog to "Annie Get Your Pen"...
