No one, not even his wife, knows his reason for writing about this particular topic. He did much research on the subject and spent two or three years writing this book while, at the same time, writing the humorous book With Malice Toward Few about his life and teaching experiences.
I want to thank Dr. Ben Wygal, a dear friend of Frank’s, for writing the following words: “Frank earned a PhD in Middle English from the University of Colorado in 1960. Throughout his active career, he served two or more of the following positions at three different universities: professor of English, vice president of Student Affairs, vice president for Academic Affairs, and president. He was a popular lecturer and speaker, a business owner, and even a temporary pastor for a year in Riverside, California. He was a writer who contributed numerous articles to both secular and Christian publications. In 1951 he was inducted into the armed services as a first lieutenant and served as an operation technician in the Brook Army Medical Center in Fort Sam Houston, Texas.”
Throughout his life, Frank was involved in his community. He held memberships in the Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary clubs at various times. After retirement, he even served a two-year term as mayor of a small town in Alvord, Texas.
Frank was a man of faith and commitment. His personal life was one of daily Bible study and prayer, and he exemplified the command of Christ, “Love one another as I have loved you.”weniger sehen
