Today I interviewed Frank Moody, the former owner of Moody's Towing of Rochester, Minnesota for my upcoming book on our city. Frank's interview discussed his life from his youth, his joining the Air Force and service, his humorous and sad stories while running Moody's Towing, his 83rd birthday, and his faith and how God has guided him throughout his life.
I also recorded a bonus interview with North Seelinger, a lifelong friend of Frank Moody.
These are two interviews you'll want to read in Lisa's book, Four Decades: A Pictorial History of Rochester, Minnesota
Thank you Frank and thank you North for each of your interviews today.
