Just who was James Patrick O'Francis? Was he the simple teacher that did not fit in the traditional "educational box"? Was he an enigma to most?
He wanted to live a simple life and raise his sons in a rural Appalachian mountain community. He wanted them to be free to be adventurous, enjoying a classic country life.
O'Francis was shrouded in a personality he had covertly concealed from everyone he loved and cherished in his life. This hidden persona of O'Francis was never to be revealed to society unless under the most extreme circumstances. J. Patrick O'Francis had skills few knew about and feelings that could be as cold as a block of marble.
Once "Pandora's" box was opened, in "time," a few would learn what they had released.
