Frank Adams Director
Without a doubt Frank Adams, director of the USO the past two years, is the service man's man. Practically every GI with whom he has come in contact will support this statement. He likes them; they like him. When he first took over his job, and perhaps before, he was dubbed "Pop" and his name has stuck. Probably a lot of GIs wouldn't know who you were talking about if you mentioned "Frank" Adams. But not so "Pop".
Frank Adams, Director of USO
Mr. Adams had no little hand in the early organization here. He was county-coordinator of OCD. The USO's predecessor here, the drop-in center, was organized largely through OCD. Later, when the USO superseded the center, Frank was a member of the Advisory committee to the USO Council. He served until he became director on January 1, 1944.
Pop - that is, Frank - ia a veteran of World War I. He was a top sergeant, was wounded in France by an exploding shell and spent five months in a hospital recovering.
If you don't think Frank has done a good job tell it to some of the men from the base who utilized the USO. The least you'll get in reply will likely be an "Oh, yeah?" with a decidedly rising inflection.
