Q. What is Frank's MOM's family life like?

A. well, my life consisted of taking care of my family,my kids! I was a stay home mom til Frank went to Kindergarten, then his school teacher got tired of seeing me peek through the window that she gave me my first job as a teacher's assistant. I got to spend school with frank. Can you tell my life? Well, then you know his dad got sick then I was really forced to work full time! I worked and did anything from cleaning houses to teacher's aide, then Nursing Assistant, then I finally went to college. I earned my Medical Assistant Certificate. Worked in several clinics, then finally was hired at Merced County Health Dept, where I currently am in my 13th year. I am a Case Worker for the CA Children's Services Dept. I have always made my family first! I love my family, I always tried to set a good example for my kids, and I sure am glad I did not settle for less than that! I think I did a good job, just ask my kids???!!

Q. Does Frank's MOM have a favorite or memorable family story?

A. I remember when the kids were young and we used to work so hard on the family dairy in Snelling. When dad had a break in work we would tpack up the truck and take the kids camping up at Pinecrest or Strawberry. We always took a bunch of kids with us. We would have camp fires, do marshmellows and have so much fun! Frank ,Victoria and the boys would go rafting. we would rent a party boat for the kids and take them out on the water. They would get back exhausted. We would fix hamburgers, hotdogs and chili beans, potatoe salad and fix smores over the fire pit. Oh boy, did they fall to sleep fast that night!

A. Ms. Spalding.. she was very nice, creative and was a great teacher. I remember doing a painting of the blossoms when they bloomed. She took us to a near by field and we used paints to create our own tree with almond blossoms on it.
