Cheryl,
Frank was so well loved because he showed a supreme affection for horses and
the their human counterparts.
The man had opinions, but very well grounded ones, all based on solid
horsemanship and common sense. In every sense of the word he was my driving
"guru".
I was having a good reminiscence/cry with my friend Sandy yesterday.I met
Sandy when she came to the first clinic I organised for Frank here in
Nevada. She has become one of my closest friends.
In late May, she, Frank and I took a nice long trail ride up into the hills
of Red Rock, just north of Reno.(We both are 'between' driving vehicles..)
It was something Frank had always wanted to do, so we did it, and he was a
little sore after, but we still remember his face: he was in 7th heaven,
this transplanted Austrian horse farmer going on a trail ride astride a big
paint mare up into the sagebrush covered granite hills! He had to call and
tell his wife Trudi that he would be late for dinner twice, he was having
such a great time out on the trail.
That was the last time that Sandy and I saw him, and we each think that it
was a great parting memory of a lovely man.
Before he left to head "over the hill" to a clinic in N. Calif. he gave
Sandy and I each a signed copy of his book.
It is a simple, self published' spiral bound book, but when I read it, I
hear Frank's voice coming through, clearly.
Perhaps you can inquire of Linda Palagi-Lynn if she has any books for sale?
Linda hosted Frank at clinics at her farm & driving center in California.

Good luck,
