One thing about the frame business — you get some unusual requests. In his 31 years in business, Don Griffin has framed all sorts of stuff, including a 5-foot rattlesnake skin and a set of bagpipes. He’s also put more photos, medals, memorabilia and other mementos behind glass for more customers than he could ever count.
