This is what your life might look like after you're dead: a folder with some letters in it. It's not much but it's better than nothing which is what most people get.
The next entry in the folder says that in 1936 Frank left the paper company and joined the RAF to train as an engineer.
With the benefit of hindsight this might have been regarded as a bad move, but then again he would have ended up in the war somehow so perhaps an engineer for the RAF was not so bad.

Oops, I just accidently dropped John-Paul down the toilet. I used the toilet brush to get him out. I'll give John-Paul a good wash.
My toiet brush is named after someone too.
Accidentally? I don't know if I believe you.
I was born under a wandrin' star.
Please write something about Lee Marvin.
How about:
"I've never heard of Lee Marvin."
Is that ok?
Lee Marvin (February 19, 1924, New York City – August 29, 1987, Tucson, Arizona) was an Academy Award-winning American film actor. Known for his gravelly voice, Marvin at first did supporting roles, mostly villains, soldiers, and other hard-boiled characters, but after winning a Best Actor Oscar for his part in Cat Ballou, he landed more heroic and sympathetic leading roles.

Notice the 1969 film... Paint your Wagon. Lee sang a very famous song... way down low.
I wonder what the big red one was? It might have been a movie about saveloys.
...or a 1970's Wellington trolley bus.
Boy that was really exciting. I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan aren't ya. Yeah me too. I love that guy. My heart's beatin' so fast I'm about to have a heart attack.
- Mr Blonde, Reservoir Dogs.
Not included in Richards list is Point Blank which is a really good crime movie based on those Richard Stark 'Parker' novels Steve and Sean used to read
