Schroon Artist on The Mend: A Message From Frank

Frank, recovering from that serious chainsaw accident, is on the mend. This message just in from his son Little Frankie:

"Hello everyone! First I want to thank everybody for their generosity and the AMAZING support of the community...it is truly appreciated my father and our family.

Second, Frank is home and is resting. As stated before the first surgery went well and has continued to hold up for now. More time will be needed to see if additional surgeries will be required.

We will continue to keep you updated on his condition and again thank you so much for all the help and support we have received".

As of Saturday at 3pm, more than $10,500 had been raised by a GoFundMe page started by Frank's family. You can donate online, by clicking here.
