Frank McCourt's Passing

You may not know the name "Frank McCourt" but he was a teacher and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. He wrote the memoir Angela's Ashes, which was made into a major motion picture in 1999. I had the chance to meet Mr. McCourt and interview him in 2006. He was gracious, kind and generous in sharing his life story. I was honored that he granted me a one-on-one interview. He was a class act who cared very much about the high school students he taught in NYC.
