    The Frank Beamer talk was hurtful.

    In 1954, when Beamer was seven years old, he used a push broom to help keep a pile of burning trash in place. When the job was done he returned the broom to the garage, not knowing that its bristles were still smoldering. A spark ignited a can of nearby gasoline, that exploded in front of him. His 11-year old brother, Barnett, saved him by rolling him around on the ground, but Frank was left with burns on the right side of his neck, chest and his shoulders. Over the next few years dozens of skin grafts left him with permanent scarring.

    We were communicating our thoughts on Beamer's situation, just a family member's thoughts and terms.

    Just the kind of story that someone with a goiter would invent.

    Calling a scar a goiter is and always will be funny.

    I'm sure Frank got teased about it his entire life, overcame it, and didn't let him hold it back.

    To Goiters!
