I think it's today, but it might be tomorrow, all I remember is that he told me that his folks loved him for being a tax deduction baby. though clearly, there was no tax code, way back then.
On Mescalito? '84?
I've climbed five el cap routes with him and shared adventures you don't even want to know about
He's climbed Devil's Tower more times than anyone, two thousand? times.

Two years later bump!
So since facebook spilled the Beans anyway, happy 60th Colonel!
Daphne and I had a Colonel's birthday climbathon @ Planet Granite, San Francisco. We went for 60 pitches each but pooped out at 33. Decided to call it a triple header; Frank's age (and then some) between us, JP, Peewee, Oulette's birthday (today also) age each, and an El cap in a day in the gym day to boot!.
Happy Birthday Frank, and thanks for the lifetime's worth of life experience in just the time I've known you; since '76!
