In the 1970s, Frank came to live on South Pender Island with his uncle, Bill Wilson, who had recently married, Sybil Conery. He spent his formative teen years living with his uncle and Sybil, and she would go on to play a very important role in his life. Upon her death in 2014, Frank took it upon himself to learn the full history of the Conery family. From his extensive family research, Frank will provide an incredible array of stories about the Conery's time on South Pender Island, and will detail how the family's connection to the Gulf Islands stretches all the way back to the 1890s.
