Youth Paves Way Through School With Plain Tenacity
Frank Hovorka, a Waterloo native, graduates from the University of Illinois with high honors and a PhD in chemistry. He arrived in America with his widowed mother thirteen years ago, spoke little English, and through two years of high school and rapid college work funded by a scholarship, he worked to support his mother and himself. Now 28, he plans to teach at a private university in Cleveland and pursue further experiments, turning down offers from General Electric to stay in academia.
