About Me

  • After earning a B.A. in English Literature from the State University of New York at New Paltz, Frank Marcopolos decided to jump out of perfectly good airplanes while in flight for the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Having the U.S. government pay itself back for his college loans seemed like a good idea to Frank, even if the plane-jumping didn't.

  • The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde

    September 15, 2009

    • Friends,The new story I'm performing on the website is entitled, "The Devoted Friend," written by Oscar Wilde.What I love about this story is that it was intended as a lesson about friendship for children, but it has just as much meaning for adults, if not more.
