FRANK LEONARD

Frank has studied at UBC, the
University of Toronto, and Up-
psala University in Sweden. He is
now close to completing a disser-
tation at York University concern-
ing railway development in
northern B.C. which, he says, has
completely absorbed his attention
in the recent past.

 

 

His teaching interests include
European and Canadian history,
but the modernization of tradi-
tional societies in Asia has
engaged his special attention.

Frank is also a “compulsive but
unsystematic" listener to classical
music.
