I am Frank Randall, former Hub employee from around 1952 thru 1957.
A marriage and family responsibilites eventually took me away from
the Hub and many of the friends I had while working there.
This is about the HUB, and all those who made it
a Very Special Place, and for the record this is a picture of
Frank and his lovely bride Lida
