Lucky Man: Ron Franke

It’s pleasure to link you to the next story. I wish all of you could know this remarkable man. He is an inspiration to those of us who do. If you read his story pay special attention to the last paragraph in which Ron summarizes his philosophy.

I appreciated this story and the writer’s telling of it. One could write volumes about Ron and I would just like to add a bit about the fullness of Ron’s life.

As the writer pointed out Ron likes to entertain. He has poker events, plays cribbage, goes out for different things such as a monthly breakfast for men who have MS, goes to Minnesota Twins games, and plays fantasy baseball. And those are just some of the things I know about!

Ron is engaged in life and all of his friends are richer for knowing him. Click the link to read a story about Ron.
