Happy Birthday Frank, you have inspired us for years upon years with your writing and more recently the wonderful series of videos from the museum of printing. Wishing you many more good years to come. Gosh, you are now in the same class as Werner Rebsamen? Hmmm, you went to different schools together.

ON FRANK ROMANO: The following is excerpted from a longer, more personal, note I sent to Frank Romano commemorating his 80th birthday and our decades of friendship.

Frank Romano is a real mensch. A mensch is:
• A person of integrity and honor.
• A decent, responsible person with admirable characteristics.
• A decent, upright, mature, and responsible person.
• A person to admire and emulate; someone of noble character.
• A person with nothing less than character and dignity.
* A person who practices morally correct behavior or thinking.
* A person who is kind and considerate.

For what he has done for our industry and education, Frank’s spirit and goodwill should live on forever such as the likes of Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Pythagoras; like Tse Lun, Gutenberg, Merganthaler, and Senefelder; like Caxton, Manutius, Franklin, and Carlson; and so on. Dedication, quality, honesty, sincerity, compassion, and education are parts of the aura and philosophy of life ingrained in Frank’s character, and is what he practices daily.

During this "Year of Frank," I AM PROUD AND HONORED TO BE A PART OF AND SUPPORTIVE OF AN INDUSTRY EMBRACED BY FRANK ROMANO!
