Francis SteinerGranton is home to Francis Steiner, a retired educator and dedicated community leader. Although he has many achievements, he believes his greatest was ten years ago when he was named one of the top six agriculture instructors in the nation. His latest achievement is a book on his life experiences entitled "Recollections of a Country Kid", which has sold over 1500 copies. In Rotary, Francis is a Paul Harris Fellow, the highest international honor one can receive. For 23 years, Francis has hosted a local radio program entitled "Let's Visit Your Neighbor", in which he travels with a microphone into the community and talks with various people about local issues. In addition, Francis was the 1995 President of the FFA Alumni. He has also been very involved with AARP and served as the 1996 State Delegate to the National Convention in Denver. "Living in a community, you owe them something," Francis said. "It is like rent on earth." Last updated: August 1, 1997
