PREFACE:
Author of the Seckatary Hawkins books - wholesome children's
stories of a clever little fat boy and his Fair & Square Club pals in their many terrific
adventures down on the Kentucky riverbank. Robert Franc Schulkers was never a fat kid; he
just used that persona to illustrate how intellect and tenacity was more important than outward
appearances. Illustrating the old saying "You can't judge a book by looking at the
cover", the underdog was often the victor if he played fair and square in the Seckatary
stories.
Few men are fully appreciated when they are alive, but my
grandfather, Robert Franc Schulkers may have been very close to it. He was blessed
with a family that loved him and appreciated his talents. Fair and square was more than
just a motto with RFS, it was at the core of his personality. He always did his level
best and always practiced the moral and ethical ideals he espoused in his writings.
This will be sort of an ongoing, or "living" biography in that I will use the internet
venue to periodically change, update, and enhance this humble presentation as more information
and inspiration becomes available.
