GrandPal Frank McBrearity

Frank McBrearity is pursuing a degree in MGA (Master’s of Grandparent Administration) and spreading joy one fist bump at a time.
I believe I am making good progress toward my Masters in Grandparent Administration, the MGA, from Princeton.
I exited a class just before Christmas and a young woman caught my attention just outside the Library at Riverside. “Hi, are you Mr. Frank?”
“Yes, I am.” I replied.
“Well, my son Owen really enjoys your GrandPal sessions. He really likes you and looks forward to the Tuesday mornings with you. I get a report every Tuesday afternoon.”
“Thank you very much. It’s my pleasure. Owen has introduced me to PD&D Studies: Pokemon, Dragons, and Dinosaurs, a special group of studies and Owen is an expert.”
“Owen is an expert on these for sure. Thank you for your participation. Nice to meet you.”
This MGA experience helps to keep my attention away from the news of the day, and focus on my studies with Owen, Lia, Yuhito, and Kai. Terrific.
