Of course, Frank stopped the car to see if they could help.\u00a0 \u00a0Frank and Jeanne ended up inviting him to their lovely home for dinner. After dinner, the Oscar Mayer Wiener driver ended up staying the evening with the caring and loving couple!\u00a0 That&#8217;s the kind of person Frank was and Jeanne continues to be &#8211; cabinet members, congressmen, rich and famous people, and wiener-mobile drivers were all welcomed at Frank and Jeanne\u2019s wonderful cabin above the North Umpqua River.<\/p>\n<p>Another great memory of Frank was when I stopped by their home one summer evening. I looked around the house expecting them to be making dinner or working outside, but it looked like nobody was home. As I went back to my van here came Frank running down the road BACKWARDS!\u00a0 He was only about 75 or 80 at the time and not missing a step. His pace was faster than most folks in the their 30\u2019s. When he approached, he looked at me and told me, keeps my legs in good shape to wade&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Joe, for sharing these wonderful memories of Frank and his lovely wife Jeanne. His legacy will continue to push each one of us to be better humans and continue his work in conservation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 2, 2022 By Joe Ferguson Joe Ferguson, board member of the Steamboaters lifelong conservationist, shared his most fond memories of Frank Moore and the stories that Jeanne would share when visiting by their famous trout ponds.
