Fran Kleffman
Fran Kleffman is an American curler. Kleffman was the second on a team out of Hibbing Curling Club in Hibbing, Minnesota which won the US National Championship two times, in 1959 and 1962.[1] The team was mostly family, consisting of Kleffman's son Terry Kleffman at third and son-in-law Dick Brown at skip. The only non-family member was Nick Jerulle at lead.[2] In 1962 the team went on to represent the United States at the World Championship, which was then called the 1962 Scotch Cup.[3] This was only the second time the United States had competed in the Championship. Kleffman's team finished with a 4-2 record, good enough to earn them the silver medal.
