Thinking of Frank

At the end of October 2023 my colleague, Frank Boland, invited me to a visit with a client. I spent many years communicating with this client via email and phone calls. It was wonderful to finally meet them in person. A few short weeks later, on the day before Thanksgiving, I was at a pub with a friend when I heard the news that Frank had passed away. I was shocked and remember my denial  – “that can’t be I was just visiting clients with him a few weeks ago”. For me, it is one of those memories that remains detailed and vivid as if it happened yesterday.

So long as predictions remain popular, and are so numerous as they are today – and so long as they receive notoriety through repetition in the press and on the radio – contrary opinions will increase in importance as thinking aids. “
