Franklin Brown Wildman

after Hill School, Yale, and a June '29 marriage, frank went to Wall St. (not a propitious time!) He then returned to live with the family of three to Gwynedd Valley and worked at Wildamn Mfg. (His father had already retired but wa on the board of directors) Both set of in-laws were in Norristown. Tthe second dau., Phoebe, came home to that rented? farm house we see in film clips taken in the early '30s.
Frank, Libby, Barbara, & Phobe moved over to Tredyffrin Twp. and had the Yellow Springs Road House renovated in the late 30s. This is where the last two children were born and Frank and Libby remained for the rest of their lives.

"As a rule, commissioners get their jobs through old-fashioned political appointments. Some are paid several thousand dollars a year; some don't even get their expenses paid to the WBA convention. Athletic commissioners are an unusual, possibly even unique, breed of public official since they tend to combine the punch-loving tenacity of a ringside hanger-on with the pragmatic opportunism of a ward-heeling politician. Of course, not all commissioners fall so easily into such a stereotype."

"The chairman of Pennsylvania's (boxing/athletic) commission is an urbane Philadelphia Main Liner named Franklin B. Wildman Jr. He was appointed in 1963 by Republican Governor William Scranton, although Wildman affably admits: "The only boxing I ever saw was on television."

• Frank Wildman's business endeavor was with his associate Bob Titus. Together they owned and managed the Synthane Corporation of Oaks, PA. Look to the Media section of this profile to see a rendition of a reprint from the January 1941 issue of Aero Digest that illustrates products from Synthane.
• WIldman's son, Frank III, also worked at Synthane for a short time, his father having sold out his interest in the company.

Frank Brown Wildman's <Wildman> ancestry includes many dissenting lines of Quakers who came from North Yorkshire. It is interesting that North Yorkshire ancestry also includes the Mowbray line:
Sir John Radcliffe, Kt. is the linking ancestor, ironically back through a Bucks County Quaker line to Nele d'Aubigny, Lord of Mowbray as follows https://www.geni.com/path/Sir-John-Radcliffe-Kt+is+related+to+Mathilde-de-l-Aigle?from=6000000028428410775&path_type=inlaw&to=6000000003051184379
Or, we can see a direct line to the Mowbrays this way.

House of Mowbray on Wikipedia
"The family name derives from Montbrai in Manche, Normandy, Mowbray being an Anglicisation of it"
.

It has been said that the Mowbrays governing center in the North of England was a small castle in Burton-in-Lonsdale. I only mention this because the Meeting house for the Wildman Quakers, although built centuries later, stands very short distance down the road from the ruins of the Mowbray's castle.

"This was a motte castle with two baileys. In 1322 it was confiscated from the Mowbrays who had been in opposition to King Edward II."
