He's a Texas "P.R." man loaded with opinions and yarns - and if you don't agree with one, you'll smile and maybe guffaw at the other. Besides, he's one of those 80,000 Texas Aggies who still believes in the old traditions and can hum the Aggie fight song in one minute and convince you to vote for his favorite candidate the next. Frank is an unabashed Texas conservative Independent who has spent his lifetime telling people how to stand on their own two feet. Free the North Wind is Frank Driskill at his best and is entertainment with a capital "T". With the height of his Texas poise, he can set straight a proper Boston lady, or sharpen his Bowie knife on a Texas political opponent. Spending a lifetime selling other folks, Frank plows his own forty acres with disarming modesty. "I'm a nobody . . . a common man," Frank insists, and proceeds in some 200 pages to cast doubts over that allegation. The north wind has blown a long-time for Frank Driskill. His fascination with people drew him into the book business, then into public relations and politics and finally into a Dale Carnegie type who has been in every country in Texas to preach the power of positive thinking. This Texas "Will Rogers" has met as many people as any contemporary native son. When he isn't selling books, politics or self-improvement, he is listening. He has a reporter's ear for a headline, a politician's eye for timing and a "P.R." man's sixth sense for telling a story. If you kinda like Frank Driskill - you'll love his book.
