My father, Frank, was born in Hamborn, Germany, November 4, 1910 and came to Nova Scotia, then onto Canmore, in 1912. The family- Josie, Charles, Frank, Hieny, and Paul, were living in a company house in Prospect. On October 13, 1935, Frank married Annie Kaleta and they had two sons, Archie and Jerry.
Frank worked at the mines for forty-nine years. During that time, he was recording secretary for the U.M.W.A. for forty years. He coached minor hockey with Mike Riva and helped in the Seniors’ Drop-In Centre, along with Joe Miskow and Charles Hubman. After retiring, he spent a lot of time on the golf course in the summer, and curled in the winter, at the age of 80.
