FRANK CROSSIN, a clerical supervisor at the city's Criminal Justice Center, will celebrate his 17th birthday on Monday. OK, he's really turning 68. But, his birthday is on Feb. 29, so it comes only once every four years, during Leap Year.
You might have met Crossin if you've gone to the third-floor Clerk of Courts office in the city's main criminal courthouse, at 13th and Filbert Streets, near City Hall. He's one of the people sitting behind the desk when you ask to look at old court files.
We asked Crossin, who was born in 1948 and lives in Northeast Philadelphia, what it's like to still be a teenager.
