Educator, pianist, composer, artist, historian, and genealogist.
I’m Wayne Franks — BA Honours History, Concordia University. People often call me a Renaissance man. I spent thirty-two years with the English Montreal School Board (1982–2013), including Mountainview High School and the Work Oriented Training Path. I teach piano, compose and perform, paint landscapes in oils, and research family history with professional care.
