Frances Clay
When I got the news last week about Frances Clay passing, I was out at the King of Prussia mall. I was testing out the email on the new I Pad. At first I thought that I Pad wasn’t all its cracked up to be if it was messing up the email. Maybe I was misreading an email about Thelma Young from last month. I only knew Frances from the Civic meetings and seeing her coming and going down on the Avenue but the immediate feeling was one of great loss. They gave her a nice write up in the Northeast Times which you can read here.
Frankford needs people like her. Folks from the neighborhood willing to give their time and talents in a cause that many feel is lost. If it was lost, nobody told Frances. She was too busy getting things done to think about that.
