Cantwell quits Orcas Port Commission
June 17, 2008 · Updated 4:35 PM
Explaining that It has become too hard to make the meetings, Frank Cantwell has resigned from the Port of Orcas Commission. Cantwell and his family are now residing in Seattle, where he is a full-time math and science teacher at Chief Sealth High School. He previously taught math at the Orcas school, but in a part-time role.
But Frank, his wife Robin and children Trip and Nick intend to maintain connections to Orcas. They will visit the island about once a month during the school year, and will spend their summers on the island. Not only have they kept their home, Frank and Robin have also maintained ownership of their company Rugby Aviation, which offers charter flights and instruction to those working to become licensed pilots. During the off-season, company operations are in the hands of Les Swientek.
Cantwell served on the commission for three years, two of them as chair.
His successor will be appointed by the port commissioners, but only until the end of the year. The position will be up for election in November.
