Martorelli is the Comptroller for Priscilla Murphy Realty. Frederick was not anxious for the publicity, but conceded when Martorelli insisted how important this was. Frederick is currently under chemo treatment — a VAD drug protocol that has him walking around with a chemo drip fed into him intravenously. He believes he will be under- going this kind of treatment until April or May, when another set of blood tests will deter- mine the effects, and different treatments may or may not then be attempted to arrest or slow the spread of the disease. "It has kind of put the kibosh on some plans I have," Frederick said. He visited Honduras in October and had thought of someday helping that country to develop better fire service.
