They worked together creating virtually everything for which Frank is frequently given sole credit.

A 1940 government census listed Frank Vacit as an "unpaid farm worker" with an annual income of $180 from an unexplained "other income" question to which he replied "Yes".

At the time he was living in the Leekya Deyuse household with Elizabeth, Leekya and Juanita's first born, whom he married.

They worked at the same bench, Frank doing the silversmith and Elizabeth creating the inlay.  By the 1930's, Elizabeth had already established a reputation as master inlay artist--having learned from her father since childhood.

Continuing their life zt Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, they produced both custom and tourist trade items for traders like C.G. Wallace, Old Man Vanderwagon and noted collector/ purveyors Shirley and Pat Kelsey.

When Frank died, Elizabeth followed within six years.  The beauty they created continues to life, bringing joy and amazement to all who see it and a few privileged to own a piece of their fine art.
