   
Frank Van Abshoven (Frankfurt, Germany 1980-1987)
I met Frank when I was in 5th grade. We had the same teacher, but her name escapes me at the moment. All through grade school, Jr. High and then finally High School Frank's was a familiar face that was always there. We never became great friends, but Frank heavily influenced me in high school. Frankly (ha!), he was the best guitar player that I knew of. At the time I really got into learning how to play guitar, I always looked up to him as the guy on our block that had the potential to become a rock star.
Highlights I remember about Frank:
- The swear word game. I think I won!
- Spending time down at the Music Center.
- Helping Frank to get Motley Crue party invitations.
- Goofing off in music class.
Although Frank and I never really were great friends, I do consider him one of my friends from that time that I will never forget. It's strange, but of all my friends from overseas, he's the one I dream about most often.
