World, meet Frank Connell -- we met this guy on the streets of New Orleans outside of The Saint this past summer. I was skeptical of his sketchy ass (but definitely not his dog) and decided not to converse with him. He was claiming to know who started my high school, H-B Woodlawn and that was it for me. I assumed he was a liar, but you know what they say about assuming. Anyway, he had some of the boys under a spell until the very last moment we were there and they were able to catch his name. Later at a computer, Google did it's magic and some articles from The Washington Post came up. The first called "The Adventures of Frank" documents the every day life of Frank in 2004. And in 2010 The Washington Post wrote another article on where Frank is now. So, lesson learned, even total bums can be famous! Just kidding - the lesson is to be open to all humans, we each have a story worth sharing and hearing, (publicized or not). Cheers, Frank. Cheers, World.
