Frank signature for blog 2
Like any good soldier’s son, Frank was an adaptable boy. He moved with his family from fort to fort, country to country, accepted change, and was ready to move again. In 1960, his father was ordered to Fort Huachuca, Arizona, to test and improve drones. The desert garrison was the fifth Army post of Frank’s childhood, and the first post he never wanted to leave. Fast friendships, vast spaces, and rumors of buried gold made Fort Huachuca a wonderful place to live. In 1963, when his father received orders for Vietnam and told the family it was time to move again, Frank was so alarmed he wrote President Kennedy to ask that the orders be canceled. Tumbleweed Forts is about the adventures that made Fort Huachuca a dream home. It also is the story of how a boy clings to a sense of home when his address keeps changing and his father is ordered away.
