As a member of the Nantucket High School class of 1953, Frank Spriggs has seen a lot of changes on Nantucket.
Frank Spriggs said "When I was a kid I lived on Washington St. We used to go across the street to swim and dig up quahogs. Just having the freedom to swim in the nice clean pristine water [is my favorite memory]."
Frank Spriggs moved off the island for over 30 years to work for IBM, but always made sure to spend some time on Nantucket in the summers. After retiring, Spriggs has devoted much of his time to Island organizations that protect what he valued growing up on Nantucket.
He has been on the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Nantucket, a Selectman, a President of the Town Association, and is also on the Planning Board.
Spriggs talked about what he loves most about Nantucket. "The small community is what I like. The ability to be quiet, particularly in the offseason, to enjoy the stars and moon at night. The way people treat each other is what I love, the way they respond to crisis."
