My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Frank Harrington. Frank was responsible for me being hired at NIEHS; Toxicology Research & training program. It was a stay in school job (internship) opportunity where I was majoring in Chemistry at NCCU. The training and pay was invaluable to my life. I passed by Holloway and saw his name in the clock. He was smart, a good teacher and a very pleasant, happy disposition. Wow, that was ...40 yrs ago. Rest in perfect peace Mr.Frank Harrington.
