Frances Frank's Story

Life My life started out going to Holy Name Catholic school, Lincoln Middle and then off to high school at Hanover Central. Graduated in 1973 and headed to South Florida, where I stayed for 24 years. My career was at Motorola there. Had many years of beach, fun and partying in the Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach area. After this great phase of my life, work took me to another great place for fun and sun, Phoenix,Arizona. This is where I reside today. I have been here 13 years and love the weather, mountains and the scenery can't be beat. Arizona is a very beautiful place for taking walks, hikes and lots of boating & fishing here. I retired from Motorola in Oct. of 2002. After that I have worked for Honeywell, Modern Industries, and now work for Hamilton Sundstrand Repair Operations as a Military Parts Planner. I plan to really retire in about 5-7 more years. I have bought my retirement home on 2 acres of land in Paulden, Az. It is located about 2 hours northwest of Phoenix, Az. I try to spend weekends there as much as possible and get away from the city life. I still and always have enjoyed sports cars and have a love for horses. I ride often on state land and enjoy the open range and wildlife. Hope to retire with the thought of a few horses on the property. We show a 56 Chevy 2-10 and are in the process of remodeling a 64 pick up truck. I drive a 2008 Saturn Vue and has been a great car to own. I spent a lot of time attending Karate tournaments over the years, as my son Derrick was on the National Karate team and a 1st place World Champion in Karate Weapons. Derrick graduated December 2006, working now and starting this spring a trade class for Pharm. Tech Degree. Best trips I take are going back home to Cedar Lake area to visit friends, family and classmates. As you can see I have a busy life and I am enjoying every day God gives me here. College After 1973 graduation at Hanover Central, I left for Florida and started my ca...Expand for more
reer at Motorola, which lasted 29 years and retired. During this time I completed over 150 training courses through Motorola. I graduated with a Certificate Degree from Metals Engineering Institute through Metals Park, Ohio in Electroplating/Chemical Analysis. I took some computer courses at Broward Community College in Ft Lauderdale, Florida and also a local high school for computer updated courses. I attended American Technical Institute in Ft Lauderdale, Florida and completed 4 of 8 courses for Electronic Engineering. After all this my career took me to another adventure in Phoenix, Arizona where I reside today doing material management planning. Workplace I spent my first 12 years at Motorola Communications in Plantation, FL. after graduation in 1973. Worked 1 year in Hybrid production, then was promoted to the Thin Film Dept. I was an Electroplater/Chemical Analyst for the next 11 years. My next promotion took me to Boynton Beach, Fl. to the Paging Division and spent the next 12 years as a Mechanical Quality Inspector with many years of cross training within the department. In 1997 I was able to get a position in Phoenix, AZ. with Motorola as a Manufacturing Specialist. This business sold after 2 years and I got another promotion to the Motorola Life Sciences. At this position I was the Senior Expediter/Equipment Inventory Control Specialist. With the sell of this business I retired and received all retirement benefits. This was my long term goal and I accomplished it. After this, I contracted with Honeywell as a Material Specialist for 1 year and I excepted the position full time in November 2003 which ended with a lay off in Aug of 2005. I had been contracted for 6 months with a machine shop as a materials expediter. I am looking forward to another career path with a good company Hamiltom Sunstrand. I started working for them in July 2006. I just keep working until that retirement day comes and enjoying life on God's terms.
