The 1972 Latipac lists William's middle name as Branson. No records on a William Branson Franks, our age, have been located in any data bases despite an extensive, nationwide search. However, the NC Death Index lists a William Brandon Franks - DOB 8/1/53; DOD 6/13/78; Location - Wake County, NC. Records show William was living in Garner, NC (Wake County) at that time.
Given the above and since "s" is next to "d" on the keyboard, I believe this is an example of the numerous spelling errors that have been found in the Latipac. Regretfully, I am concluding that William Brandon Franks, deceased, is most likely our classmate. If anyone has more knowledge of this, please contact me. CLJ 7/19/09
