Frank McCourt might be best known for penning the autobiographical book Angela's Ashes (which is how I came to hear of him). He was also a teacher, humanitarian, and a winner of many awards including the Pulitzer Prize.
He sadly died yesterday at 79 years of age. He will be greatly missed!
It really is too bad that such a wonderful author and man has died. Where is the hype about him? It is all about Jacko.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! Frank McCourt certainly contributed more than Michael Jackson (although he did have a few good songs in the early 80's).
ReplyDeleteI re-read Angela's Ashes not too long ago. That guy had quite the adventures and hardships!
