Way Back When


 The Thorp Courier  --   April 30, 2008
 

Who might you recognize in this photograph taken of a group of WWI soldiers? Maybe you are related to someone in the picture. Let us know what you may know or remember.

In last week’s photo taken in 1945, the seven ladies were identified as: (L-R) Daisy (Boardman) Koltis, Lucille (Strzok) Salvack, Helen (Gorsegner) Davis, Agnes (Neiman) Jarosz, Elaine Beaudot, Florence (Szymanski) Lato, and Doody (Gorsegner) Broeking.

We received more details in reference to the photo in the April 9th issue of a confirmation class in May of 1959 taken at St. Mary’s Polish National Catholic Church. This additional information came from Eugene Witek (who Ed Nowicki previously identified as also being in the photo). Eugene said he is the altar boy on the far right and to his left is Rodney Nowak. He thinks the Bishop is in the middle and that it may have been Father Trybulski next to him. He’s not positive and said Ed may be right, but recalled Fr. Dobrzanski as being a big fellow. The priest in the picture is a smaller man which makes him think it is Fr. Trybulski. Eugene mentioned that Fr. Trybulski later died of Leukemia, and Fr. Dobrzanski was a much-decorated veteran of the Polish Army in exile in WWII.
