Thanks! > Doris Watson > [email protected] Hi Doris, I wish I could tell you that my stack of old papers went back to 1875, but I can't. I will keep my eyes open the name Frank Beck though! In fact, I just found a Frank Beck in the book "The Rivers Flow On" -- he was one of the heads of the Vocational School in Eau Claire in 1964. Could this be a descendant of the Frank in question? This is the only reference to the name in the book, but thought you might find it interesting. Still looking... Nance Sampson ECCMLO mailto:[email protected]
