Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling meabout his experiences as a young man. Before heretired, Frank was the head of a very large businesscompany, but as a boy he used towork in a smallshop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at thattime he used to work fourteen hours a day. He savedmoney for years and in 1958 he bought a smallworkshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used tomake spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time hehad two helpers. In a few years the smallworkshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long roadto success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. Shewanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
