Group, Frank's artistic talents were first identified back in high school. He won an art contest in the Allentown school district, and he was intending to go to art school after he graduated. He started working at Mack Trucks to make money to pay for art school. When the war started he joined the Navy. When the Navy found out he could weld, a skill he learned at Mack, they made him a SeaBee. Frank's art talents were evident in his modeling beyond the painting of the backdrops. I always said that Frank knew what to put in to a model so that it appeared more detailed than it was. This skill is evident in all great artists. Jamie Bothwell

It was a skill he later brought to early S Scale magazines and even in helping design the NASG "couplers" logo. Steve Doyle Twin Cities
