Frank S Wright (MrWright)

[Dalecamino]

Frank was a member I struck a friendship with many years ago. He was very generous. We swapped pens, and blanks, exchanged emails, and private messages. We spoke on the phone a few times. Frank eventually became too frail to work in his shop, and unable to type, relying on his daughter for that.

Frank passed away on Oct. 12, 2022 Here is a video showing a return to boot camp 80 years after he left there in 1942

I have spoken with Frank, have his book and some blanks from him.

Awesome! I sent Frank a picture of the pen hoping he would remember it. He sent a signed book dated 8/23/2021 told me I did a good job getting the pen fixed up. Glad you got to know Frank as well.

I received a PITH pen and several blanks from Frank about 10 years ago. Saddens me greatly that I didn't get to know Frank any better over the years.

Semper Fi, Mr. Wright.

I read his book and enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this and his book Chuck. He seemed like a really nice guy and a squared away Marine.

Happy to share it with you Tom. You are correct on all accounts of Frank.
