Just read that Frank Liberman has passed away at age 92. In the obituary in the L A Times it mentioned that he had gone to Lafayette College and from the graduation year I saw that he had been a classmate of my father's. I looked up his old yearbook and found out that Frank had written for several the college's literary publications and had been publicity director for the Marquis Society, the college's dramatic society. Apparently he was in training early for his life's work.
