An alumnus of the class of 1969, Frank Brennan walked away from Penn State University with two degrees and countless memories and life lessons. Frank grew up in Philadelphia and attended Penn State Abington – then called Ogontz – in 1965-67. He moved on to University Park for the next four years earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism.
The Army ROTC graduate served on active duty and in the National Guard reaching the grade of major before finally putting the uniform away because of time constraints of family and career. Career-wise, he spent time as a print reporter, a radio-tv reporter (including U-Park’s student radio station and the two commercial stations in town), and in a small ad agency. Ultimately he answered a blind newspaper ad that led to a long career in the U.S. Postal Service.
