When Frank Krowicki was 4 years old, his father was tricked by travelers who wanted to know how to get across the ice. When he brought them there, they didn’t really want to know how to get across. They just wanted to kill him. Frank never saw his father John Krowicki again.

Frank Krowicki’s mother was named Martha. When Frank was captured by the Russians, his mother broke him out of the Siberian prison that he had been in for a couple of years. On the way to the prison, Frank had to stay in a camp where he had to bury his own friends who died from starvation and abuse.

When Frank was about 6 years old, he was sent away to Zimbabwe where he spent most of his childhood. While in Zimbabwe, he attended school up to grade 2 and developed a fear of snakes in the African jungle. When Frank was 14-years-old, his mother Martha and half-brother John were sent to Saskatchewan by boat and train. Frank and his family lived with their uncle, picking rocks on his uncles’ farm until he was 15 years old. Frank left on a bicycle and came back to visit every five years.

Frank finished grade 7 in Saskatchewan and took care of himself and became a self-made millionaire. He has also employed 150–200 employees for the last 30 years. He has kept 260 acres of land clean of pesticides and in its original natural state. Today Frank is the father of Hokinn Krowicki, runs a restaurant called Smugglers Inn and owns a large acreage. That is the life of Frank Krowicki.
