Professor Frank Schofield
Jim's friend in hospital who arranges and pays for his deportation in 1936.
Jim’s thoughts on his friend Frank:
We sit in the kitchen talking late into the night. How the hell have I ended up in the company
of this man?
We both came to Canada years ago, to seek our fortunes. He’s Professor of Bacteriology at Ontario Veterinary College, I’m a hobo, destitute drug addict, ex-convict.
And here we are, huddled around a wood
stove, both bereaved, in a hospital for
the insane.
