Biographie de l'auteur

Frank was born to Bissondaye and Boodram Maharaj of Tunapuna, Trinidad in November of 1940. He was the fourth of ten children, four boys and six girls. Before completing elementary school, Frank was apprenticed to a local mechanic, seemingly crushing his secret dream of attending high school. He overcame many obstacles and eventually attended Saint Charles Boy's High School. Upon graduating, he was offered a teaching position at Saint Charles; his starting salary was $15.00 a month. Following the death of his father, Frank joined the Civil Service briefly, went to England to pursue his studies, and returned to Trinidad. He taught at Saint Charles Girl's High School from 1962 - 1967. Frank came to Canada in 1967 to attend Lakehead University. While there, he met and married his wife of 37 years, Diana. He also earned an Honours Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy and English) and a Bachelor of Education. He continued his studies at Ottawa University where he earned his Masters degree in Education. Frank and Diana have three children and two grandchildren. Frank dedicated 33 years of his life to teaching in the Rainy River district. He retired in 2005 but continues to share his stories with young people. Frank and Diana currently live in Fort Frances, Ontario, Canada.
