Hello Friends:

Last week our family took a trip to Staten Island to celebrate Franks' mothers' 94th birthday. It was a pleasing sight to see grandma for the first time in over a year. She never seems to change in her appearance and is always the life of the party. For the first time all the grandchildren and great grandchildren were together to greet her as she walked in the front door of Carols Cuisine which is owned and operated by Franks' sister. This was a special treat for all of us to enjoy the gourmet style lunch and dinner while in the company of our Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I'm not sure of the exact count but there were at least 40-50 grandchildren at the party. Grandma was overwhelmed by the festivity and got hugs and kisses for hours on end. My twin sons Frank and William met many of their cousins for the first time and my new twin daughters were handed around like they were Italian bread. This is the type of gathering I would love to have every year. It was refreshing to talk about things you did while growing up together as children. But with many of us working six and seven days a week, it is difficult to organize this around everyone's busy schedule.

I have been forwarded information from Arnie Fenner about the new book called Testament that is to be released sometime in the next few weeks. We will keep you posted of the books availability shortly. We will be selling leather bound editions and hard cover copies as soon as they become readily available to us.  

Mrs. Frazetta is in the process of framing many new originals to hang in the museum this summer. We are also anxiously awaiting the completion of the Reign of Wizardry so that this masterpiece can proudly hang in the museum by late fall. 

Thank you for visiting with us, Frank Frazetta Jr.
