Frank X. Prevost

Mr. Prevost, a Baltimore native, spent his early years at St. Vincent's Orphanage on York Road in Rodgers Forge. He attended St. James grammar school and graduated from Loyola High School in 1941.

He served in the Army Air Corps with the 9th Air Force Troop Carrier Command, and took part in the airborne invasion of Holland in 1944, Operation Market Garden (Remagen Bridge), the ill fated Allied ground and air invasion of Arnhem in the Netherlands, and two months later re-supplied C-47 planes for the troops at Bastone. He was discharged, but remained in the inactive reserve as a 1st Lieutenant until 1947.

While in the military overseas, Mr. Prevost attended the Sorbonne University on a scholarship from the French Government to study French.

Mr. Prevost earned his bachelor's degree from Loyola College in 1949. He earned his law degree from the University of Maryland School of Law which he attended at night while working full-time for the U. S. Civil Service Commission as an investigator. Mr. Prevost married Eleanor Paska in 1948 who died in 1985.

In 1956, Mr. Prevost moved to West Orange, N.J. to begin his career with ITT, New York City, in the Legal Department, until he retired in 1985 as the Director of Claims and Litigation. His more interesting cases took him to Tokyo, Bangkok, Saigon, Vietnam, Manila, Brussels, London, Rome and France. A four year case took him to Germany where the ITT subsidiary won their case against NATO.

While in West Orange, N.J., Mr. Prevost was active in St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church where he was a Eucharistic Minister and usher. It was there that he met his wife, Bobbie, and they married in 1991.

They moved to Timonium, Maryland in 1995 where he enjoyed gardening and his flourishing vegetable gardens each summer. He could often be found at the University of Maryland Law Library where he did extensive research for an opinion he was writing for the past 20 years. He and his wife, Bobbie spent winters at their winter home in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where they enjoyed playing shuffleboard and attending the New York Mets spring training games.
