Frank's All About the Benjamin
Frank talks about Ben Franklin. His collection of books and other items about this famous printer is voluminous, and the collection of Franklin statues is unique. He also shows a few of the many statues he photographed as he crisscrossed America. We need more Ben Franklins.

Frank,
That was fascinating. I thought I knew a lot about BF, but I learned more from you today. Thanks!

Dear Frank,
My wife and I visited Boston in 2015 and stayed with our nephew and niece in Franklin, MA. I had the privilege of visiting the Franklin Library in Franklin. The most wonderful part was seeing the books he donated in 1790 to the library, which is considered to be the oldest, continuing run library in the U.S. These books, as you probably know were his contribution to the library instead of the steeple bell that the town had originally requested. If those books could talk, imagine the stories they could tell!
I also love his epitaph that he wrote saying he wanted to be remembered as a Printer.

We could use Ben Franklin here, now.
