Frank Anton

I knew Frank probably since the early 80's.
We met through a mutual friend from Canada.
I had recently moved to San Francis.co from New York. We were never very close friends, but I'm sure we saw each other at least once on each of his visits to S.F. including some Christmas meals which I cooked.He was a man of immense charm & modesty & I'll never forget him.

When I came to Calgary with 403 Squadron RCAF Frank Anton was one of the officers with a supporting unit. I planned to become a lawyer and needed to earn a Bachelor's degree first. I had absolutely no idea what I could major in. Frank suggested Economics. He was a good friend and one of those special teachers, met once in a lifetime. Our classes were taken when the University of Alberta – Calgary had 2 buildings and 1500 students, a far cry from the giant that now exists. Frank was one of...

IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO BE FRANK'S SECRETARY IN THE EARLY 1970's IN THE ECONOMICS DEPT - HE WAS SPECIAL AND A WONDERFUL FRIEND THEREAFTER. HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

As a student of Frank's at U of C and as a fellow RCAF officer affiliated through 403 Squadron (City of Calgary), I came to Know Frank as a wise mentor, great teacher, and an officer and gentleman. I and many others owe him a great deal. Thanks, Frank

It is with great sadness that I learn of Frank's passing. As a student of his in the early 60's I was greatly impressed by his enthusiasm for the subject. It was through his leadership that he established a core group of teachers who motivated a large number of us to become Economists that have impacted all aspects of society. Frank directly encouraged me to complete my MA after I had all but given up completing it. I will be forever greatfull for having known him.
