Transcript of The Weekender Magazine
Happy New Year!The old cliche’ of “my New Year’s Resolution
is NOT to make any more New Year’sResolutions” has gotten old. So has the same old,same old that I make every year and then let fallby the wayside before January 2nd ... You know,the daily exercise and lose weight routine. Turnover a new leaf and be kind to everybody, nomore candy; eat healthier. This year my new year’sresolution is a promise to myself to be different. Iwill not let my resolutions fall by the wayside. It’s abrand new year and we have so much to be thank-ful for. So I will make brand new resolutions thatI’ve never made before.
January 1 finds The Weekender Magazine moved intonew offices. With more room and more employees, we’llbe expanding into other areas with new issues thisSpring. I’ve learned with this move that I’m a packrat -almost to the level of being a hoarder! So my first NewYear’s Resolution is to organize and throw stuff away.(Well, maybe I should just keep one or two or even threecopies for safe keeping...)
My second resolution is to quit committing to moreresponsibilities than I can handle. It’s just that there areso many places to go, and things to do, and people tosee that I have trouble saying “no.” And all I want to dois share them with you - my readers!
Third, but certainly not last, I will make every attemptto offer more pages covering great events every month,surpassing each issue from before. And with this prom-ise to myself, I won’t break any of my resolutions.Instead, I’ll carry them through all year long.
Stay tuned for our Open House announcement. Weinvite all our readers to join us as we celebrate a newaddress, new offices, new staff and new coverage areasin 2013. My only heartbreak is that Mr. Tim Moore, for-mer boss, inspiration, and original partner for TheWeekender will not be present to witness this grandevent. He went home to be with the Lord in Octoberafter battling a lengthy illness. As a Certified BusinessAdviser for the Ohio Small Business DevelopmentCenter, he was instrumental in encouraging us to makethis move. He was even helping in the search for theright new location. So, Tim, I pay tribute to your memo-ry as we continue to push our dream forward....

Frank started picking early, col-lecting rocks and beer cans as akid. He worked for many yearsas a fire and safety inspector butalways had a passion for
antiques, junk and anything withan engine. These days, he spendsmost of his time on the road withMike, digging for treasure inbarns, garage and junkyardsacross America.
Even-tempered and affable, hehas a way with potential sellersand a knack for putting out fires:Mike calls him the beardedcharmer. Frank does get a littlecarried away, however, by any-thing with an engine, and Mikeoften has to talk him out of buy-ing yet another motorbike for hiscollection.
“I'm a modern day recycler,”says Frank on his official website.“I'm in the antique collectablefield. My interests are old motor-cycles, old toys, old cars, andanything that is old and unusual.I grew up in Iowa but have trav-eled all over this beautiful coun-try. I started collecting at a veryearly age. Now I'm aseller/buyer. "
