FRANK FITZSIMONS RELATES MUCH INTERESTING HISTORY ON RAD[IO]

By MRS. L. L. MABRY

Many citizens of Hendersonville perhaps miss a great deal of interesting information furnished by Frank L. FitzSimons, Sr., who broadcasts for five minutes on Radio Station WHKP at 6:05 each night.

Mr. FitzSimons is highly respected as a local historian, and a hard-working research sch[olar] on things and events in Hender[son] County and he has a cha[rm]ing talent for connecting his reminiscences to present-day conditions.

Many people who have retired to Hendersonville from far flung places because of their liking for this community and its gracious climate can learn many interesting things about their new home place by listening to “Frank FitzSimons Speaks” every night on the radio.

Mr. FitzSimons is a long-time friend of the writer because his heart is in caring for the wild birds that winter in our midst. Many times he has broadcast in behalf of the birds that form an important factor in the over-all picture which attracts so many new people to this community to reside and enjoy life.
