Sad News
I just heard that Mr. Frank Anselmo passed away after a long battle with cancer. Mr. A was my band director from 3rd grade up to Aquinas. He was the one who gave me a love of music and percussion. He was a great man who taught me a lot, not only about music, but also about life, he was always willing to give a wise word and also an Altoid. I specifically remember him being there for me when my Dad died, which says something about him, because he knew how to help an eight year old who just lost his role model. He will be missed, please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I honestly just looked for the "like" button. I remember those Altoids!! He opened up my eyes to more music than I had ever before had done. Good memories of being packed into the All Saints band room. He was always there, especially when my bus got into a fatal accident. I was on my way back up from art when he stopped me before the stairwell and we just chatted. He was such an amazing man who will be greatly missed. So many great memories.
