Frank J Consentino Jr. is a lifelong devotee of glass and color. He’s a Boston born New England Yankee, having lived in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for 68 yrs. He is a six year U.S.Navy veteran, having served as a radarman aboard two aircraft carriers in the Pacific, and on duty stations in the Far East, in both Japan and Okinawa. Frank owned an x-ray business, and has been a traveling man all of his life, flying millions of miles around the world. He has been a part time antiques dealer for over 40 years, and began collecting glass during his travels. During those years he has driven his motorhomes coast to coast 19 times in his search for acid etchings. He presently lives in Palm Coast Florida with his wife Ginette, and is active in the community and the Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis Club, a world wide organization dedicated to changing the world, one child, and one community at a time. And, yes, he moved his entire glass collection from New Hampshire to Florida, where it is now on display in his home.
