Frank R Mell Lived next door to me
Growing up in rural Carleton Frank was 6 years older than me, I would see Frank alot because he was friends with my older brother. Frank was a strong fit farm boy of good character always willing to help. 54 years later I will always miss him. Thank You Frank for you paid the ultimate price to our country.
