Frank Marrero has lived different lives in this grace of abundant years. He was in the newspapers and on TV at the age of two, going off of high-dives; he was the only kid he knew who built his own flying machine and survived several 'flights'. He was an original 'parkour' madman; did 'free climbing' in Yosemite; mastered rope-swinging; did cliff diving for tourists;
He also owned a hardware store, started a very successful restaurant, lived on a farm, was a school-teacher and forester. He is a proud father of two young adults and is the author of some 10 books, ranging from pre-Sokratic mysteries to biographies, from curricula for teaching children character education and writing skills to a science text on fasting, et cetera.
I had the pleasure of speaking with him about his book, Recollections of Sokrates.
Some of the topics we discussed includes:

  • The unique way in which the book tells the story of Sokrates.
  • The motives behind his execution.
  • Did the prophecy Sokrates had about what would happen after his death, come to pass?
  • What was a philosopical takeaway from his death?
  • What Frank wanted the reader or listener to takeaway from the book
  • Sokrates' views on love
  • Sokrates' famous quotes and the ones which stick out to both Frank and I.
  • Sokrates' upbringing.
