"My name is Jeff. My class and I , Have read your book and appreciated every second of it . I can tell you that every student in my class can relate to your story in someway. We have all done things that have affected us in a bad way. But we have been trying our best to make our lives better , so we can become someone important, to change the lives of the next generation of teens . like you have been doing . I understand that no one is perfect, but we try to do our best. I honestly love the fact that I got introduced to your book. It has inspired me to take my life and do my best to be the best role model for my future kids. And one thing that struck me the most in your book was Even though all the bad things that happened to you, You still where trying to be there for your kids , In every way , I respect that more than I respect myself.
It would be the highlight of my life if I could meet you in person.
My teacher has shown me that literally anything is possible. last year we read the Freedom Writers Diary. We where so lifted by that book That we raised money to fly down to L.A. to meet a freedom in person , That truly was the best day of my life. I never flew on a plane before, I’ve never been to California, but it happened and it started out as a "What If". And became something great . But I can tell you that we are very happy that your book is in our life . And hope to meet you someday in person
I am truly thanking you from the bottom of my heart, For writing that book , It will always be on my mind….."

In prison he befriended men he used to think he hated, men of different races. Out of prison Meeink tried to rejoin his old skinhead pals, but couldn't bring himself to hate those he knew to be his friends. A Jewish doctor offered to get rid of his neo-nazi tattoos covering much of his body.

Behind bars, Frank began to question his hatred, thanks in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league. Shortly after being paroled, Frank defected from the white supremacy movement. The Oklahoma City bombing inspired him to try to stop the hatred he once had felt. He began speaking on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and appeared on MTV and other national networks in his efforts to stop the hate.

In time, Frank partnered with the Philadelphia Flyers to launch an innovative hate prevention program called Harmony Through Hockey. He developed a similar program in Central Iowa. He is featured a film directed by Jessee Dylan with Desmond Tutu called "Reconcilliation", an independent film featuring Adrien Brody and Forrest Whitaker called "The Experiment", and appeared in a music video with Jamey Johnson called "High Cost of Living".

Frank has worked as director of fan development for American Hockey League teams. He has been on the national lecture circuit for nearly a decade, speaking to various groups on the topic of racial diversity and acceptance.
