rank Messina is sponsoring Old Glory and like Sebastian, several momentos have been placed inside Frank's horse. Many know Frank as an Elmira artist and author.

Sealed inside Old Glory is a copy of Frank’s book, A Window on Main Street. Although It was written 12 years after the original Eldridge Park carousel figures were auctioned off, readers will recognize it as being a story about the actual events that are occurring with the Carousel Restoration project.

“It is as if Nostradamus, himself, wrote the book,” says Bob Lyon, President of the Eldridge Park Carousel Preservation Society.

Also inside Old Glory is a letter from Frank which contains his personal thoughts pertaining to the acquisition of money in order to fund his horse.
