We consider a modification of Meixner moment functional by adding a ma
ss point at x = 0. We obtain the resulting orthogonal polynomials, ide
ntify them as hypergeometric F-3(2) functions, and derive the second o
rder difference equation which these polynomials satisfy. In such a wa
y we give the solution to a problem raised by R. Askey (1991) in ''Ort
hogonal Polynomials and Their Applications,'' p. 418, Baltzer AG Scien
