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.

Karen .. I didn't know the man, but all reports are that he was a wonderful
source of support and guidance for everyone who had the luck to know him and
benefit from his experience.  I have received emails from a number of other
sources, in Cda, on his passing.   Who published his book ? .. I'd be
interested in getting a copy. Can't have too many books on driving! and this
one written by someone who values fjords!
