Anyone heard from PaPaFrank (Frank Schultz)?
« on: April 29, 2016, 09:37:00 AM »
I remember conversing with him several times through messages and forums and remember him talking about some health issues.  Just checked his profile and he hasn't posted since Sept 2015.  I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about his absence, or how he was doing.

Wish I knew about him also. Haven't talked to him in quite awhile. Did a lot of talking on the phone at one time. Did a few deals with him. He's an A-1 guy. Sure miss talking to him.
God Bless

Frank is first class.....hope all is well, when I was under the weather last summer he offered prayers and support. Had several transactions with him over the years, a top shelf guy.

I emailed him.. don't like his response..

Hi Daniel,

It's a very long story bud.  Last fall I started having severe pain in my back and neck and then started to lose the functioning of my legs, falling down, missing steps, that sort of thing.  In November, I passed out here in my home falling into a door jam and messing up my face.  When I came to. I remembered that I had been on the phone with my wife.  She is a RN and called 911, thinking that I had a stroke.  At the hospital, I was evaluated by the stroke team but they found no evidence of stroke.  I had MRIs of my back and head that day and later that night, two surgeons came to my room to tell me that I had a large aneurism on my carotid artery, right at the base of my brain as well as two areas of my spine that were badly damaged.  Because of the disease that I have, I have to take blood thinners everyday and they were worried that this would be a disaster if they operated.  The aneurism had to be fixed though as it covered 270 degrees of a 360 degree vessel, and it was leaking.  Anyway, I had the seven plus hour surgery and only by the grace of God did I survive.  I have to wait until July to see if the repair they did is good enough to have the surgeries I need on my back.  I've really missed all of my Tradgang friends but I still have trouble with cognition and stringing words together and my memory is terrible.  I would be too embarrassed to attempt a conversation on the fly.  Just this little note took me almost thirty minutes to write.  I haven't shot a bow in a long time and man do I miss it!  I used to shoot everyday!  Anyway, thank you so much for writing Daniel.  Please keep me in your prayers.

God Bless,
Frank

Hang in there Frank!  So sorry to hear that you're going through this, and will certainly pray that you get good news in July so that they can take the next step in your recovery.

May God bless you Frank.  I have also had you in my thoughts many times these past few months.  

If anyone deserves our prayers, it has to be Frank.

Just to show how nice a guy Frank is; I mentioned that I liked wool on a thread here but the southern thrift shops rarely had any. Out of the blue Frank sent me a really nice heavy wool coat and a shirt he had picked up at a shop. A perfect fit and my favorite cold weather hunting coat to this day.

Later Frank inquired about buying one of my selfbows, of course there would be no buying involved after his generous gifts. I made him a bow and sent it to him. We have become pen pals and he keeps me up to date on what is going on.

The health challenges Frank has in his life would sour a normal man but he has remained the same great, humble, thoughtful man in spite of all of the adversity that he has faced.

Exactly Mr. Krewson, We did a bow trade and when mine came there were two packages. He didn't think the trade was even so he sent 1/2 doz. arrows with broadheads to even it out.......good people.
