Fran Bolm

Fran Bolm is our administrative assistant. Fran explained it this way: his job was to do anything someone else could not do at the time. That "anything" became "bookkeeping." Fran took this job in May of 07'. He enjoys helping out our park.

After three different jobs in four years Fran finally got it right, and for 41 years he had the same job as a cost analyst. That is why we need him so much. He does know what he's doing with our books. While Linn was a mother and a wife, she also was a store clerk, a banking accountant, worked in a Doctor's office and finally had her own interior home business. And on top of all that she raised five children. You rock Lady!!!

It's nothing new for Fran and his lovely wife, Linnea, to be doing something for the park. They came to Sunscape through TAI, as so many of us did. The plan was three weeks free with golf thrown in. They bought in 1993 and the second Sunday they were here Linnea started the choir. The services were so crowded in the tiny AC that she advertised, "Join the choir and reserve a seat." It worked, they soon had a choir of 30 people. Fran started Monday golf for the men here. It was music and golf that kept the Bolms here. We are ever so grateful they stayed.

Linnea has been Fran's love for over 60 years. They met when he was 17 and married at 19. Linnea was a city girl for the first 12 years of her life before moving to Escanaba, MI from Chicago. There she and Fran met, married and raised a family of four boys and a girl. Fran said that after the 5th child, a girl, he figured out what the cause was and that he'd better stop kissing Linn.

The Bolms will be celebrating their 60th Wedding anniversary on December 31st of this year. They were engaged on New Year's Eve and were married a year later. What a wonderful couple they are. I don't believe that have ever stopped kissing. Keep it up guys, we love seeing such love between two people

Thanks for all you are to us and for us
