Just a week and a half before he was to be recognized as the U.S. Army Grand Marshall in the Cannon County Veterans Day Parade November 14th, Cannon County School Board Member Frank Walkup III passed away Monday night in the St. Thomas Stones River Hospital. SSG Walkup served in the U.S. Army from 1986-1994. Frank was also very active in the community where he currently served as a School Board Member. He also served as the Public Address announcer for the Cannon County Home Football Games and as a play by play announcer for a season of football at WBRY. A full tribute to Frank will be scheduled during Thursday’s news as each Grand Marshall of the Veterans Day Program will be spotlighted over the next two weeks.
