[PW] Frank Tyger Biography

[Hatch, Patricia]

Hello,

A few newspaper sites yielded some clues about a Frank Tyger, though I
am not certain if this is the same Frank Tyger from your quote:

1. The Washington Post, July 10, 1979, p. B4:

Inflation must be worse than we thought. Frank Tyger of Trenton, N.J.,
writes, "The president's plane is now known as Air Force 11." 

2. The Globe and Mail (Canada),February 15, 1990,HEADLINE: WORTH
REPEATING Boxcar blues, BYLINE: GAM

Postcard from Frank Tyger of Trenton: "There are no incurable optimists.
An optimist would never believe anything is incurable."

3. The Globe and Mail (Canada, March 13, 1990 Tuesday

Back in the days when bankers were less friendly, money was worth more.
-Frank Tyger in The Trenton (N.J.) Times

4. The Oregonian (Portland, Oregon), December 28, 1990 HEADLINE:
OUT-OF-CONTROL YEAR GAINS PERSPECTIVE BY QUOTES FROM FAMOUS BYLINE: BILL
TAMMEUS, Kansas City Star <

``Junk is the stuff we throw away. Stuff is the junk we save.''-- Frank
Tyger of the Trenton (N.J.) Times.

Per this site,
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3697/is_199502/ai_n8731658/pg_1,
Frank Tyger was the Promotion Director of the Times of Trenton Times in
1995.    Per the njtimes site at http://www.njtimes.com/contact.html, I
do not see him listed here.

Perhaps a call to the Trenton, NJ Public Library or to the Times itself
would provide you with more biographical information; here is the
telephone number: 609-989-5454 

Hope this helps,

Hearing is one of the body's five senses. But listening is an art.
