Memories of Frank Baker

Owner of the once famous West Vancouver restaurant, The Attic". One time owner of a James Bond movie Aston Martin car. Trumpet blower. Owner of white suits.

I was only his establishment twice as a youngster. A treasured part of a journey to the city was to make sure that the Aston Martin in the window was spotted and noted on the way by.

Here is a great little bio-pic on the man himself, Frank Baker.
The last line in the short film is the best I've heard in ages.
