Editing Frank Sturgis (section)

==Early Life and Education==
Frank Anthony Sturgis, born Frank Angelo Fiorini on December 9, 1924, in Norfolk, Virginia, was the son of Angelo Fiorini and Mary Vona. His family moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when he was a child, where his mother married Ralph Sturgis in 1937. On September 23, 1952, Fiorini legally changed his name to Frank Anthony Sturgis, adopting his stepfather’s surname, possibly inspired by the fictional hero Hank Sturgis in E. Howard Hunt’s 1949 novel Bimini Run, which mirrored aspects of his life. Sturgis attended Norfolk Catholic High School but left in his senior year to enlist in the military, reflecting his early penchant for action over academics. He later studied briefly at Virginia Polytechnic Institute but did not complete a degree, prioritizing a life of adventure.
