Frank

One day when my daughter, Sarah and I arrived at "American Kung Fu Academy" for a private lesson (we usually went every other Sunday at 10 A.M. for a long time), we came into the Kwoon and a guy we didnt know was there. He introduced himself as Frank from New York. At first, I thought he was just a visitor, but as time went on, I found out that he was somewhat permanent in terms of being at the Kwoon (and maybe teaching). Frank was almost frantic about learning Preying Mantis and all the other forms of Kung Fu taught at the Kwoon. He learned it very fast and eventually, started teaching at the Kwoon. All of this happened in probably less than one year. Frank had been an Golden Gloves boxer back in New York, so he was also basically teaching a side course on boxing which I attended. A few times, though, I was scheduled to come to a class and somehow Frank was not there. He sometimes used an excuse that his in-laws in Natchitoches called with a flat time or something similar. I soon found that I could not count on him. He did seem to possibly have a shady past. Eventually, he used some money that he brought with him and started a fight school in Lafayette. I have not seen or heard from him since then. He is (was) a likeable guy though and he was good to Sarah which I appreciated.
