"Frank" Williams and his wife Nandi are among the newest members of the Holt Elwell Memorial Foundation. 

Frank came to Mowglis in 1979 from his home in Philadelphia. He cried himself to sleep his very first night at Mowglis because he was afraid that he wouldn't be happy here . . . he cried himself to sleep on his last night because he didn't want the summer to end. Could there possibly be a better vignette of how Mowglis can impact the life of a young man?

Frank was immediately one of the most popular boys at Mowglis. There was something magical in that smile that just seemed to win his dorm mates and the staff over from the very start. 

He still keeps an axe sharpened and at the ready for that tree that falls on his land and a bow and arrows for target shooting now and then. 

Don't get him started on the number of family members he has shared the Mowglis experience with over the years, beginning with his cousin Frank Barnett. You won't be bored, but the recitation will take a while, just the same.

We hope to catch up with Nandi for a separate podcast soon to get the benefit of a mom's perspective
