we knock on the door of a corner row home in North Philadelphia. Frank's nephew, Robert Reason, is a pretty serious man. He's in his 60s, about Suave's height, bald with broad shoulders and really strong arms. He hands Suave a thick, sealed yellow envelope. It's a package from Frank. Do you mind giving us five minutes? Oh, you're cooking.

So we'd agreed to an interview today, but Robert Reason stands in the doorway, arms crossed. He says he doesn't have time to talk, but he does agree to let us return in the evening for a few minutes.

The wrapping is unlike anything I've ever seen before. There's about 30 pages of writing front and back. Each carefully written page is protected by a blank page below and above.

All that extra paper makes the package heavy, nearly $12 worth of mail. Now, that may not sound like a lot to you, but it's a fortune to someone like Frank who can no longer work a prison job for a few cents an hour. It's evident that this package means a lot to Frank.
