Above is the house that Big Frank grew up in Dickinson. This is where his mother and step-father now live. It is also the home that his mother grew up in, and that his grandfather bought way back some 100 years ago or so. Two full families grew up, three generations, and now with the grandchildren visting, the house is into its fourth generation. The first resident (Big Frank's grandfather) came to Dickinson when it was still Dakota Territory. The house originally had a huge barn in the backyard for horses, carriages, etc. That was torn down when Big Frank was just a kid. The voices, the activities, drama, transitions of time and family love reverberate in the walls. Big Frank feels it.
