Completely inoffensive...
...celebrated Boykinalia in 1949, nearly every VIP in Washington came to Frank's house to sample a potpourri from his favorite huntin' and fishin' spots. There was salmon from Quebec, pheasant from the Dakotas, antelope from Wyoming, elk from Montana, bear from Georgia-not to mention coon, possum, squirrel and deer from his own 100,000-acre preserve in Alabama...
