FACT SHEET:
FRANK LYNCH FOR PRESIDENT
Born Dec. 31, 1941, Chicago, Illinois. Never married. No children. Still dreams of
marriage and children, someday, somehow. Quit all alcohol and
tobacco since 1990.

Wagon, believes everyone must buy American cars.
Raised in second generation immigrant
blue collar neighborhood on South Side of Chicago in between

Church. Attended Catholic
schools: St. Theresa of the Little Flower elementary school; did
first year of High School with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley at the
De LaSalle Institute (which produced almost all of Chicago's Mayors
since WWII): transferred for a better class of school to Leo
High School. National Merit Finalist. Still angry that the Irish
Christian Brothers told him to study Latin because 'gentlemen read
Latin" and not to study Spanish.
Not only first member of extended
family to complete high school, to complete college, and also first to complete a
post graduate degree.
Oh yes, almost forgot. First in family to run for
President, as opposed to unacceptable inherited political kingdoms
like the Bushes and Clintons.
B.S. Physiological & Experimental
Psychology, Purdue University, 1965. At age 19, team member in
National Science Foundation Research Fellowship on the effects of
early experience upon adult adrenal corticosteroid response to
stress. Led to advanced weapons systems consulting. Weapons involve

Extra studies in American History,
Political Science & Primate Social Behavior (the last two are
strongly related) University of California at Berkeley, 1961 & 1963.
M.B.A. Finance & Marketing.

First Car:
wrecked 1950 Chevy, cost $25. Rebuilt the wreck, drove it to Canada.
First job:
at age 13, cleaning washrooms and windows, Herb's Grill, 8300 So.
Ashland Ave., Chicago, Illinois. Promoted to chopping onions,
flipping burgers, and washing Herb's car.
Best job:
operating complex turret lathe in industrial machinery factory
between high school and college. It was complicated, and gave the
satisfaction of seeing a completed and useful physical product that
had a genuine purpose. And it paid better than the average college
graduate earned.
Worst Job:
Republican precinct captain on Chicago's Gold Coast during the riots
of the 1968 Democratic Convention. First time a cop laid a baton on
me and threatened to
beat me.
Most
Futuristic Job: Predicting armed conflicts 20 years into
the future to design weapons systems required 20 years into the
future. Quit consulting when Department of Defense instead decided
to buy weapons for conflicts 20 years into the past. Study
accurately predicted the mess we would find ourselves in with Iran and Iraq today. Too bad the DoD did not
re-read the study before idiot Jimmy Carter pulled all support from
Iran, which had been our strongest ally, and turned Iran over to the Shiite
fanatics, and before both of the American catastrophic invasions of
Iraq.
Highest
Personal Development Job: Senior corporate finance
officer on Wall Street traveling the country dealing with top
corporate executives and directors, evaluating their five year plans
in virtually every line of business, and following through over the
years to see
what worked and what didn't. Designed and managed public and private
stock and bond offerings, mergers & acquisitions, restructurings and
leveraged buyouts (LBO's).
Toughest
Job: Sole founder and President of a restaurant franchise
chain, attempting to maintain quality of operations while meeting
the payroll for hundreds of employees, locate sites, build
restaurants, taking the company public, selling franchise, dealing
with investment community & regulators, and fight against both a
smart regional competitor, but much worse, against a giant
multinational competitor which had unlimited resources to pay up for
locations.
Quirkiest
Job: Creating
FranksHeroes so all Americans can get their voices heard by our
elected leaders. The idea that politicians will listen to what
people want, instead of only listening to big money contributors and
cash-rich special interest groups is extremely quirky in today's
corrupted and phony political world.
Most Rewarding
Job: Taking care of his elderly parents in
his home. His father, Frank W. Lynch died in Frank's arms at age 95
on Dec. 7, 2005. Believes that his father's death on Pearl Harbor
Day might be a sign regarding Asian
threats today. His mother Pearl Lynch, age 93 and legally blind, still
lives with him.
No Passport:
Frank has not been outside the USA since
his overseas intelligence work. Says he will never again go outside
the USA unless it is in Air Force One. Believes everyone should
vacation inside the USA, and if you are able to adopt, adopt an
American child.
Frank feels he wasted the first
two-thirds of his life as a Republican chasing money, wine, women &
song. Hopes to redeem himself as the ideological leader of the Democrat
Party, futurist, reformer,
social improvement author, educator,
environmentalist, and social up-lifter and equalizer.
