Spotlight on Grown up Islanders: Col. Frank Vollmar
By PAULETTE LeBLANC - | Apr 28, 2021
Frank Vollmar’s parents, Andy and Georgia Vollmar, made their way to Pine Island when their friend began coming here in the 1940s and he talked them into moving here. By 1957, Pine Island was home to the family, which consisted of his parents, younger sister Sandy and himself.
Vollmar describes the island as a utopia where there was very little crime, in fact, he says houses were not even locked. There were no grocery stores on the island back then, but this didn’t get in the way of living in paradise.
