*FCC FACEBOOK WEEKLY WRAP-UP* *(An anti-social media compendium for our non-Facebook members)*
*SPECIAL EDITION*Frank Soos is one of the main reasons I started producing these anti-social newsletters. Frank did not do Facebook or other social media and encouraged me to find another way to get the news from Facebook out to other members who also didn’t do social media. I’ve heard from several people who appreciate these, so this issue of the anti-social newsletter is dedicated to Frank (who was private and an introvert, but definitely NOT anti-social). Thanks Frank! You will be sorely missed!

*REMEMBRANCES FOR FRANK SOOS*Long-time FCC member Frank Soos passed away last week. Frank was also very active in the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks. He was a long-time member of SCUM (Susan’s Class of Untrainable Men), which each summer trades in skis for bikes as the SOW (SCUM on Wheels). Frank could often be seen riding his bike along Goldstream Road. Two of his buddies have done remembrances for him. Read more here.
