elevated 766Ie Frank was born on 1937 in Poland, and his family was taken to Siberia during World War II. After their release, they lived in Tanzania for 7 years. These were the happiest days of Frank’s life as he was an adventurous boy and the jungles were the best playground he could wish for. When he was 11, the family moved to England where he lived for 20 years, working as an auto mechanic. He moved to Canada after his sisters, and was looking forward to the incredible hunting and fishing he had heard Canada had to offer. Hunting remained his favourite pastime. In Canada he married and had a daughter. He worked as a mechanic at Crown Cork and Seal until retirement.
