Frampton was a charter member of the OAHS Sports Wall of Fame Selection Committee—fitting since few people have been as dedicated to the school’s athletic program as he has. Frampton has worn many hats during his more than 50 years of involvement with Oxford Area High School’s athletic program. That involvement started when he was still a high school student. He received three varsity letters in baseball.

Frampton was willing to help out the athletic program in a variety of ways. As a game-day worker, he sold tickets, took tickets, officiated track and field events, kept the scorebook for the basketball team, served as a spectator supervisor at numerous District 1 playoff contests. He helped run Saturday Basketball Program clinics for students in grades four through nine for several years.

He served as the school’s athletic director for 11 years, and during that time Oxford teams won numerous league titles and several district championships.

He credited his good friend Ken Howett with helping him progress as an athletic director. 

Frampton also supported the work of the Oxford Sports Boosters, and he served as the executive director for the Southern Chester County League for 21 years.

When he learned that he was being inducted in the OAHS Sports Wall of Fame, he wrote: “I wore a lot of hats, and these hats were worn by the grace of God, the support of my loving wife, Joyce, and the help and cooperation of many friends, student-athletes, and fellow faculty members.”
