Dr. Frost obtained his bachelor and master degrees in education from USC and his doctorate from BYU. He had a long and distinguished career as an administrator with the Los Angeles Unified School District. Upon retirement, he, his wife Janice, and son Scott moved from Los Angeles to Minden to be near daughter Mary, son-in-law Danny Wright and three grandchildren, Glenn, Karena, and Evan Wright.
