Harry Frank is a retired university professor and Martha a retired chemist.  They have been fascinated with old forts ever since their first road trip in their first car—up the California coast to Fort Ross in their new 1965 mustang.  Many automobile trips in later years included impromptu visits to forts, and they began more systematic photographic documentation of western forts when they retired to  New Mexico, in 2000.
