Scholarship. While studying there he was also awarded an IODE post- graduate Overseas Scholarship, and continued his legal studies at the University of London School of Economics and Political Science. On his return to Canada he was awarded his LLB degree at Dalhousie, serving as Valedictorian of his graduating class, and later a Sir James Dunn post- graduate Scholarship in Law enabling him to undertake studies in Canadian Constitutional Law, leading to his LLM degree in 1960.

He articled in Halifax and Wolfville, and then assumed a law practice in Port Hawksbury for a two year period. In 1962 he returned to Charlottetown with the intention of establishing a practice here but instead decided to heed what he thought was a call to the priesthood. After a year in the Oblate Novitiate near Ottawa he experienced inescapable difficulties with certain of its vows, perhaps none more difficult that the vow of obedience. He and John Allan Cameron were classmates, entering and leaving at the same time, and one can only wonder what might have happened to Holy Mother Church had they both stayed and been ordained.

Frank entered the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa during 1963-64 and then returned to Prince Edward Island in time to join the initial electoral campaign of the young Alex Campbell, leader of the Liberal Party of PEI. and soon to be elected its Premier. Later he became a candidate in his own right, losing his sole political venture to the very popular Leo Rossiter. He earned the reputation for fearless advocacy. He was a Founder of the Grey Knights fraternity for young men in trouble with the law , which assisted many young men in making the difficult transition from jail or prison to community life.

Frank died suddenly in September 1973, leaving one sister, Mary Green and seven nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by both parents and his older brother Stephen. Few people who knew him could forget him, particularly those whose cause he espoused after they had been mistreated by the system or whose rights had been abused by people in positions of authority. In those situations the latter came to know better, and the mention of his name was frequently enough to send them scurrying for a remedy which had previously escaped them. We will miss him at the reunion, but will watch for signs that his spirit in with us, particularly if there is mischief afoot.
