His father Francis, was an Evangelical philosopher, who thought more of himself than he ought to have. Had a retreat in Switzerland. Was kind of out there on a number of issues. His claim to fame was a series of movies shown mostly in evangelical churches called “Whatever Happened to the Human Race” co-hosted with C. Everett Koop (before Koop became Surgeon General). It would be a stretch to say that Francis had a major role in the Christian Right movement or any Republican movement for that matter.

Frank must be like so many children of famous parents, who feels the need to go off the deep end because only in becoming extreme does anyone actually listen to them. I didn’t remember who he was until he mentioned dear old Dad and Mom. Had he not mentioned them, I would have presumed he was in Guyana with Jim Jones drinking the Kool-Aid.

How do you know what he thought of himself? Did you know him personally?
