March Madness certainly has been a family affair for the Wilson's every year.  Frank has attended thirty-one Final Fours and his wife Cath (18) and daughter Meredith (7) have combined for twenty-five Final Fours of their own.  Frank's family still holds the Hoop Historians all-time single season travel record, as in 2005 the threesome embarked on a 3-1/2 week, six thousand mile campaign which saw them go to first round games in Nashville, the regional final in Chicago, the Final Four in Saint Louis, visit with relatives in Tennessee and attend a wedding in Atlanta.  When not traveling, Frank is the co-chairman of the Hoop Historians Entertainment and Social Committee.
