Volunteer Spotlight: Jack Frandsen       Jack Frandsen has been a prominent resident of Roland/Story City area most of his life.  He was raised on a farm near Roland where he eventually farmed for 32 years in partnership with his brother.  Jack and his wife Lavonne still love the original homestead.      Before his retirement in 1990, Jack found time for various volunteer opportunities such as the church board, the Roland-Nevada Coop elevator board, and as a 4-H and Cub Scout leader.  Then in 1998, Heartland came knocking on his door, looking for nuts and bolts member of the Board of Directors who would be willing to pitch in a help with various facilities projects.  Jack has now served four years, currently as Secretary of the Board.  Everyone soon found that no job was too big or too small for Jack to tackle and conquer.  With his handyman capabilities, Jack has spent numerous hours fixing the leaking roof, the heating/cooling system, the boiler, sewage line,etc., and has saved Heartland many a costly repair bill.      Jack has used his retirement years to refine his stained glass expertise and has a created nearly 50 pieces of glass artwork, along with wood-working and metalworking projects. His creativity has even lead to the invention of an automatic wagon hitch.      The retirement years have been full and productive for Jack, but no matter how busy he and Lavonne get, they always find time to follow their seven grandchildren's activities.      Thank you, Jack, for all the support you have been at Heartland, both behind the scenes, and as a prominent cheerleader for the cause of seniors in this community.   <> Jack Frandsen, a member of the Heartland Board, has designed nearly 50 stained glass pieces.
