√ Nobody holds me, like you do.
√ Nobody calls my name, like you do.
√ Nobody knows me, like you do.
√ Nobody takes care of me, like you do.
√ Nobody talks to me, like you do.
√ Nobody listens to me, like you do.
√ When I’m all alone and nobody calls, but you do.
√ When things are going wrong and no one cares, but you do.

Life Is a Stage
LIFE IS A STAGE
And we all must play our part. Running in and out of situations, that may be doomed from the start.
It’s not where you finish, it’s where you start. Sometimes your left hand may not know what your right hand is doing, but at least you have a start.
In order to blaze into the future you must come out of the dark, and turn on the light to your future, this is where you start.
Because time waits for no one, it just brings you out of the dark.
So just remember from a little acorn – comes the mighty oak. Because life is a stage, and we must all play our part.

Frankford Stories by Fred Prescott
Rick Spector of Moviehouse Productions and Frederick C. (Fred) Prescott, will present Fred’s
Frankford Stories, a gritty installment in Moviehouse’s Philadelphia Neighborhood video series, at the
HSF monthly meeting lecture on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The “star” of the film is Fred, lifelong
Frankford resident and board member of the Historical Society of Frankford (HSF). He tells stories
of growing up and living in Frankford at another time, the early 1940’s through the 1960’s. The
speakers will take questions from the audience following the showing.
Rick Spector is a Philadelphia native and a proud son of NE Philly’s Oxford Circle. Always interested
in public speaking, nostalgia, Philadelphia history, music, television and film, Rick acted on his
passions by forming Moviehouse Productions in 1983. His company offers multi-media nostalgia
presentations to community groups and short subjects by video. Rick served seniors for 35 years
through community relations work at Philadelphia Corporation for Aging. Rick hosted PCA’s public
service radio show “Milestones” during its entire five-year run.
The meeting and lecture will occur at the HSF library/museum at 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia.
The event is free and open to the public, and free off-street parking is available across Orthodox
Street at the Frankford Friends School. Doors open at 7:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served
before and after the lecture.
The lecture will also be streamed live on the Society’s Facebook page.
