Condor of the Andes
by W. Nelson Beck
Dr. Frank and Bessie Beck dedicated their lives to helping the people of Bolivia. They worked as teachers and directors of childrens' boarding schools and Ward College, then returned to the U.S. to enable Frank to study medicine at Northwestern University in Illinois. Five years later, Frank returned as a doctor of medicine and Bessie was a year away from completing her doctoral studies. Between 1912 and 1969, their accomplishments and achievements can be measured in the hearts of the people that he inoculated, treated, and babies that he delivered. An Aymara Indian Chieftain credits Dr. Beck by saying, "He brought my people back to life."

This biography is written by their son.
