Franny, as she was affectionately called, once disrupted her sister from smooching a beau on the couch by letting her horse stick its head through the open window between them. As a teen, she was a bit of a rebel, too – taking it on the knuckles from time to time by the nuns at her finishing school. Franny loved a good gossip. She and her three sisters were known as the “Polish hotline.” She also loved sitting around the kitchen table with her daughter’s girlfriends to hear the latest news and impart advice.
