Frank Scarfino Jr.
Frank Scarfino Jr. was born and raised in Syracuse, New York. In 1969, he graduated with a B.A. in History from the University of Pittsburgh. Within a year, Frank crossed the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge and immigrated into Canada as he feared being inducted into the U.S. military. Shortly after, he received notice that he had been drafted into the U.S. military and was ordered to report for induction, which he never did. In Canada, Frank found employment near Huntsville, Ontario, working in a residential treatment centre for children. A few years later, he received a letter from the United States government stating that the federal warrant for his arrest and his “delinquency” status were removed. Although he was once again allowed to enter the United States, Frank made Canada his permanent home. Today, Frank enjoys his retirement from teaching with his wife in Waterloo, Ontario.
