Busted ass all year while battling cancer to continually make Community Park one of the most friendly and beautiful places to play disc golf. The amount of time and hard work that he puts into this course is breathtaking.

J-Town Ice Bowl • Feb. 27, 2010
The Dave Pitner Memorial • May 1 & 2, 2010

One of the founders of the Frank & Bean’s Handicap League.
Worked extremely hard on getting Highland Park into shape for IL State. Concrete work, stump removal, garbage pick-up, and hours of weed whacking including a couple of hours in the morning before he played in the tournament.
He worked anywhere and everywhere when he was called upon.
Sorry Paco that this wasn’t mentioned at the ceremony.
Please feel free to elaborate on anything that was missed or something you feel should be mentioned about Frank.
Goforit:
Franks achievements were not only in the J-Town area. Frank managed to venture off to Eagle Ridge Park in Oswego and put in some high quality tee boxes and to be chased around by the Park District for removing stumps lol lol. So glad to see such positive results for you Frank.
Positive, positive, positive!
:)
