I remember your name well - were you part of the triplets in Brookhaven? or is that a cousin? They use to ride the bus with me, Frank, Michaeline and ?, michael maybe? this site is cool, it helps jar the memory, mostly fond, Mrs. Ferris had a little anger problem back then, but hey we never knew what was going on in their personal lives.

I remember KYJ's too, awesome food. My mom was Vera of Vera's Dancing School in chester, she helped sew the procession gowns at St. Hedwigs in 1970's, remember processions in May? I had to go to convent by myself, yes myself, sister gave me the keys, can you believe it, to get some gowns that were in the upper room, it was really spooky in that convent, kinda scary by myself and I was probably 12 or 13 at the time. The rooms were really sparse with bed, dresser and crucifix.I'll never forget that, I got to see inside their world.

Hi Judy, As I approach my 46th birthday I am reminded of the birthday's of my youth where my Grandmother or Aunt Stella would go to Kyji's bakery to get my favorite Birthday cake - "Strawberry Shortcake"...I even tried on my trip up to NJ for work this week to make it by to pick one up even though your not suppose to buy your own birthday cake. Just thinking of the great aromas from the Kyji's every day going to St. Hedwigs and after church on Sunday brings a smile to my face :-)....but not my waist line !!

It's funny how we forget things as time goes on… but it’s nice to have someone remind you of them every now and then. WOW, what a time! I was just reading some of the old email and it’s amazing how people talk about the past. I just love hearing these stories. I just wish more would use the site to keep in touch with each other.

Freddie you are right…it’s been well over a year. Whatever happen to the rest of the Three Musketeers… your brother’s Ziggie and Jimmy? Are they living in Florida too or still in Delaware County area. How well I remember the Goreckie’s boys, oh wait “MEN”. Two J’s is not good anymore… thanks to the employees over the years. I was sorry to hear about your mother passing away I feel for you it’s been twenty years since my mother passed. So, tell me how are your brothers doing? Did they ever grow up and become adults? I know your sister is still living in the area, I see her every now and then. I know it’s got to be bugging you not knowing who this is, but when I feel it’s right I will tell you who I am. What have you been up to these past years? Did you ever remarried? Do you keep in touch with your children? Do your visit the area? Last I read your brother Ziggie was in Florida and Jimmy was in Norristown. But I’m sure this has changed since then. Tell me some information and I will give you some information too. I will give you one clue. Lets see, I use to live west of you. Hope this helps. If not, next clue will follow. Take care.

Hi All, we are constantly looking for more Class of "84" members who were not able to make it to the reunion. The reunion was a lot of fun. For other classes that are thinking about it, believe me it is worth every moment. There were so many memories and laughs, I left hurting from the laughter.
Hello to Donna Koczynski & hello also to Ed Brysiak. Ed, you have a brother that graduated with me right?

Sandy Kaminski and myself are currently planning a 50th reunion for the class of 1955 St. Hedwigs. A cite will be determined upon responses received. We are open to suggestions but feel a dnner at a restaurant in Delaware County would be our best bet. We were unale to get a list of graduates but between Sandy and myself were able to come up with a list of students and we will begin the ardious task of contacting these people to determine their desire to have a reunion. Based on a currsory sampling initial response has been very favorable. I ask anyone from St Hedwigs class of 1955 please send me an e-mail advising if you are interested and means to communicate with you, either telephone or internet. In any event fellow class mates please mark your calendars for Saturday November 26th, 2005. Am looking forwarding to hearing from our old classmates. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info Kathy Korab. I thought I was correct in talking about those guys but I was a little hesitant since it's been so long since I've lived there. I couldn't remember the Zoltaks so ty for refreshing my memory. Ray Szelika(sp.) was Albin's brother I believe. I also remembered Jan and Blaise Maitland. I believe Jan still lives on 3rd St. Did you live in the area Kathy? I lived on Harwick St. from like '66 to '91 and presently live in Newark Delaware. I am attempting to locate old neighbors and have been met with a bit of success. If you like Kathy, email me and I can inform you of the people I've found. Thanks again for the refresher Kathy.

To Carolyn and whoever it was asking about Lance romance and the Jastremski's(sp.) Radar was Dave Jastremski. He was the one with the radar ears. His brother was Tom, or as we called him,Jazz. He also had a sister Camille I believe. She was in the Air Force if I'm not mistaken. Lance Kmiecz was another westender that never really held a job but always found a way to feel good if you know what I mean. Lance romance, as he was called, lived with his grandmother i believe on Highland Ave. Then there was the brothers Mike and Stan who lived next to the Jastremski's. I can't remember their last names but I remember that Mike loved Vodka and Stan worked at Boeing I believe. Mike was short guy who bartended a few places and always had the "clear stuff". He loved that vodka. Then there were the Maitland's from 4th st. and a guy named Albin Schalega(sp. may be wrong)and his brother who lived on Hayes st. There were alot of other guys that hung around that part of town but not enough time to mention them all. My mind is running wild now and I'll have to reminisce some more. What memories of our town that we have and hold will forever be etched in our minds. God bless the Chester of old.

Hi Richie Korenkiewicz
How are you and your brother Frank? You know I had almost forgotten that you had your shop near 3rd and Harwick. Remember when there was a candy store in that building. Still get down there as my Uncle still lives in the house on the corner. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Hello there Rich Korenkiewicz. I haven't seen any of your family in years. How is everyone? Still in the hvac field? What about brother Frank? I lived on Harwick St. years ago. You guys still had the shop on 3rd St. I know you guys moved to Twin Oaks and the family business was closed right? Do you still speak to Harry brooks? I haven't seen him in a while either. I moved from the area in '98 and haven't hung up there in years. If you will, please email me and let me know how things are going. Thank you and I hope to hear from ya soon.

Bob Kogut: Nice memoir. I certainly remember all those incidents you mentioned (except I don't remember the shoes you said I wore), especially the detectives coming to school because they dragged me and Lenny out of class for questioning. I didn't know it was Gornick until reading your post just now, but the nuns were sure I did it anyway. I also remember me and Smagala hanging Teddy out of the school window by his feet (2nd floor). Damn! That was stupid, and our nun, on her way back to the school, saw us do it. That was a little difficult trying to explain away. I was also blamed for Mike Polulack's cherry bombs in the auditorium. In fact, our 8th grade nun blamed me for everything that happened - but she was right about half of the time. Nice hearing from you.

It's great to see all the people for the past writing in. It brings back such great memories. I been to many Church's throughout the world and must admit St Hedwig's has something that other Church's just don't have. But our parish is shrinking, most traditions everyone talks about still go on though not on the grand scale we all remember. But their are a few hard working people that are determined to keep our traditions alive. I'm encouraging everyone out there to stop by and visit once in a while before it's all gone. I realize many live in far places but most live within reasonable traveling distance. Mass is still in place weekly on Sunday at 9:30AM , attend once a month or other month. As long as people are attending our Mass in numbers it is less likely that St Hedwig's will be forced to close the doors forever. With the thousands of people that St Hedwig's has geared for the world if just a small percentage came to our Mass throughout the year we would fill every pew. I remember the days as an alter boy St Hedwig's hosted four Mass's on Sundays and every Mass was filled; now it's challenging to keep one Mass alive. Maybe you have young ones that could serve the Mass or be in the processions. Our grandparents built St Hedwig's for us, every time I walk into St Hedwig's I wonder which pew my grandmother liked to sit in or which stone my grandfather set. St Hediwg's is filled with many memories. As I read all the email's from everyone ---your memories are still with you. Your memories are still alive, you can revisit them and keep them alive just by your presents. We all take vacations to visit Historical places to learn where our country came from and investigate areas of interest. St Hedwig's is where we came from and we all should pass this down to our children as our grandparents did for us. Once the doors close it's unlikely they will ever open again. St James has been sold it will never open to be what it once was. St Anthony's is now a different place it pains me to drive by and see what has happen to it now. St Hedwig's is still open and is a living memory. I hope to see all of you when my tour is complete. God Bless you all.

Class of 63: Ranger Joe's cereal factory across from the school.Classroom windows open on warm Spring days; smelling the toasted oats.Climbing in the boxcars behind the factory at night to dive in the puffed rice; getting caught. Buying pea shooters at Kurek's at lunchtime and getting caught with them in class. The Nuns allowing us to listen to the Phillies games on our transistor radios in class during the playoffs and world series the Phillies were in.(This was 1960-1963, folks). Walking past Kaniefski's funeral home and ringing the doorbell at the same time everyday at lunch; and....getting caught. 'Little Ceasar'(Frank Gunia)on the last day of 8th grade, trapping him up in the loft in the back of the auditorium and throwing all the coat hangers at him, getting caught. All the guys jealous of David Hentosh because he was such a great guitarist, and he was allowed to wear those cool side tie shoes with the cuban heels and cleats on the front and back. Playing the 'Untouchables' in the playground at recess. Joe Smagala was Al Capone. Frank Stefchik was Elliott Ness. We all had a crush on the new Nun who came to St Hedwigs. Her white cardboard chest protector was curved instead of the usual flat shape. The Nuns used some kind of soap or lotion that made them smell like oranges when you got close to them. Being sent to the cloak room for an hour. Who was the woman crossing guard at 4th and Wilson ? She knew every kid's first and last name, and was always friendly to everyone. Taking out the wooden sawhorses to block the traffic for recess. End of recess: two bells: the first bell=freeze where you are, the second bell= walk don't run, back to class. In the month of May, we all took a turn bringing in a homemade crown made out of fresh flowers to crown the statue of Mary. Hiding cigarettes in the compartment in the back of the Blessed Mother statue where they kept the candles; perfect hiding spot. The railroad detective coming to our class to find out who threw a rock at the train and broke a passenger window.Joe Gornick did it, but no one told. Playing king of the mountain on the tracks at the Wirtz toothpaste tube factory. Memorial Park tackle footbal; no equipment. Tom Murphy getting hit by a car and coming back to our class after almost a year of rehabilitation. Big Mike the janitor. Soft pretzel salt in our desks all year.

Wow wish I would have known about this web site. How is everyone. Remember how we would be encouraged to give to the missions ? Well I'm on the other side now in the missions. As part of OEF here in Africa I go to the missions when I can and offer my assistence to the missions. St Hedwig's has given tons of support to these needy children. It's pretty cool to be able to send them pictures b showing the children wearing the clothes the Parish has sent over. So yes I'm serving my country should be home soon then it will be off to Iraq. Feel free to drop me an email.
Despite the ups and downs life may throw your way life at St Hedwig's I would not trade for anything.

Saw Steve Sides a few years ago down Booth's Corner, think he still lives in Marcus Hook. Paula says Mark is doing good, he's married to an eye doctor. Eddie Brysiak was supposed to be deployed to Africa but I haven't heard about him in awhile. My Dad says he has a big family. Saw lisa a few years ago, too. She was doing well.

Hello to class of 1987. I left St. Hedwig's in 1985 and missed the days I didn't get to finish at the place I spent so many wondeful days. I loved my experience there. I cannot remember the teacher, but does anyone remember Chris who used to chew on the pencil holders we bought from the school "store"? Remember when he was put in the closet for chewing on of those things? The nuns may have been strict, but look...it's giving us all stories to tell.

Cousin Joe, The platform at Christmas with the trains and the tree all decorated is still one of my favorite memories of growing up. My Grandfather removed the lionel train whistle and put a button on the platform that you could press to make the whistle go off as many times as you wished. The Lionel train originally was my moms when she was growing up, my grandfather added the HO trains I believe after my brother and I were born. I remember the cukoo clock being in the dining room, but my mom said for a number of years it was in the living room. My mom still has the train and the train platform. I also remember hiding under the platform hoping to catch Santa Claus bringing all the Christmas presents, but always got caught by my Grandfather or mom. Thanks for bringing back one of the best memories of my childhood !

Standing in the front room and looking at the Christmas tree up on the platform with the little village all lit up and Uncle Eddy running the train. Then I turned and looked behind and saw the big cookoo clock on the wall.
Had to share the moment with you. I'm sure you've been there - been there, seen that.

1) Mr.Mitska- he was our first scout leader, I remember camping trip to Claymont Park (leaking umbrella tents,then using the Army pup tents because they didn't leak) the first time and going away for a week in the summer at Camp Delmont in Delaware (Got the worse case of poison ivy in my life... eye lids, ears everywhere !). We also did a couple of Jamborees but I don't remember where.
2)Lou Morowicki and Mr. Golembieski, where we had the more Marine Corp approach (up at the crack of dawn, pushups, jumping jacks, etc.). I remember going to Resicca Falls in the Poconos for summer camp, doing the mile swim with Jimmy Szczpeniak for a merit badge, and then hiking to a mountain stream to go swimming and almost drowning due to exhaustion.
The boy scouts were a lot of fun... then when I was a member we focused more on having a good time... especially camping. What else would expect after growing up in the city ! I think after we moved away 1973 the scouts took things more seriously and worked on becoming Eagle Scouts.

Yes, Ed I do remember .... I just do remember who ducked. I also remember many a time being in trouble with Sister Providentia. I remember her first day teaching our 6th grade class and no matter how I sat in my seat she kept telling me to sit up a straight...finally she said you come up here now... and I got the double hand face slap from both sides. I remember the other side of her after I had graduated and had come back to visit St. Hedwigs when I was in college. She introduced me to her class and said that this man use to be in this same class room just like you (students) when he was younger ... and now he's a grown young man in college. After I left the sixth grade we were the best of friends. Sister Matilda and Sister Providentia kept saying that I would make a great priest.....but that didn't end up being my life's calling. I think thats the problem with a lot of kids today no discpline at home or in school. I remember never going home and telling my mom or grandparents that I got punished or hit by the sisters cause you would get in trouble again for not behaving in school. Today kids call 911 and have their parents arrested....I would take the old days in a heart beat.

Altar boy Flashback: I'm sure that my brother and I weren't the only altar boys this happened to...but, I remember serving mass after they changed the altar to face the congregation and the monsigor who was getting up there in years would "break wind" as we were kneeling facing facing the exit point, of course being young boys we couldn't help but laugh, and of course the sisters who were in the front pews did not find our laughter very funny, and of course after returning to school you couldn't just say Sister Matilda/Providentia I was just laughing because the Monsignor farted ...this was not something that was part of altar boy training !!

I do remember that they all treated her with respect.. Sometimes she would see them out on the corners and just take them a sandwich.. She caught my brother Mike and I teasing Joe one time and she whipped our butts. Grandmothers could still do that once in awhile and if anyone had a problem with it she'd whip them too.

Wow, I had forgot about Joe Spuck, my grandfather told that he was shell shocked from World War I, I remember seeing him sleeping in a refigerator by the railroad tracks just north of 4th and wilson street. Thats where they found him when he died, I remember his white beard, and the cap that he always had on. He mostly hung out by the bar at 3rd and highland ave. I remember the wooden roller coaster, grabbing the brass rings on the merry go-round and all the bumper cars at Lenape. Thanks for the flash back to Joe Spuck.

Unknown Visitor !
I remember McMasters TV closing when I was a kid during late 60's maybe 70/71. Stanley Cal (Cal's), sold the business to Pearl ( I don't remember her last name). Her husband was named Bo and they had a son who was a Chester policeman. Bo use to have a store down by Red's the barber on 3rd street that had a couple of pinball machines and a pooltable prior to he and his wife buying Cal's ( I spent a lot of my allowance on playing pinball at Bo's and Sloppy Joe's !). His wife Pearl use to work for Stanley Cal. I'm not sure if the store is still opened. I'm not sure when Todd's store closed.

Yes, of course the gymp (sp?) necklaces, or keychains where made from plastic in three or fours the box was a popular one, the potholders yes,what a memory that was weaving them and tying the knots at the end, how about the hula hoop contests? I remember Phil Workman, Bert, and a few "Older guys" always picking up a basketball game later on in the night. Also, the lunch truck, never tried their food but I do remember them coming, was it Mays water ice as well? Did you ever climb up under the big slide and flip?

When we went through town the other week we went by the park.... they were all gone. They had rocking horses where the see saws were. Were the gimp necklaces those that were made of plastic like string that you weaved together ? I remember everybody making potholders at the picnic table, there use to even be a covered top over the picnic table so you could still go to the park when it rained. I remeber the big steel box that the park & recreation folks delivered that was packed with balls, bats, games, etc. and everyone would jocky for position when it was opened to get what they wanted to play with first.

St. Hedwigs has always been close to my heart, many happy times. I lost touch with your cousin, Karen, back in High School and I have always wondered how she is doing. I am not exactly sure why we lost touch, but that happens as we grow older. She was a big part of my childhood and we had such good times.

The childhood we had growing up in our neighborhood,( Hayes St. to Trainer St., Sixth to Front St.) was the best a kid could have. No cares, no worries. Going to the park, playing ball in the alley between Highland and Thurlow or the field on 2nd. St. (cinders), riding bikes ALL day or just playing outside and always having something to do. Our parents knew all the kids and didn't hesitate to keep us inline if needed. Walking up to 3rd.St. and being able to get just about anything a kid would need. I always tell my kids I wouldn't trade growing up in our neighborhood for anything, it was the best. At least we have those memories to treasure.

I'm hoping to do a fishing trip to the outerbanks this fall with some of my old friends from St. Hedwigs. I hope all is well with your family. I do remember the lunch truck at comisiak park. I've been trying to remember the name of the farm huckster who use to make the rounds in the neighborhood with his old beat up step up van/truck selling produce, etc. I remember Joey Brezicki working for him one summer. On my trip thru town I did try and stop by Kji's bakery so my daughter could try one of their glazed donuts,but they had just closed. I made a video tape of my grandmothers house and the back alley before she moved in with my mom so at least I have something that I can show my daughter that better reflects the home I grew up in .

Cousin Mike, I talked with your mom and she told me about the trip to Chester.. About a month ago, my mother and a friend took a ride to 3rd and Highland. She took some pictures and I couldn't believe it. Our home is gone..as many of the others... She sent me a picture of Tommy's grocery store on 2nd and I had to look twice cause I couldn't believe it. Nothing they do can take away the memories and it was the best and still is in our hearts.. And this page sure does help to keep it alive...

Michael, I am very sorry that your daughter had to experience that feeling. My children as well couldn't believe I lived in the house I did, played in the "alley's" and park, they asked where is the mulch? Why would someone take the swings, or see-saws etc. Michael, do you remember the lunch truck at Comisiak park? Have you heard from Chuckie or Eddie Drybala lately? Take care.

Thanks for your message. No one can take away the memories and experiences we had growing up in Chester, for in my memories everything is still as it was a great place that I wouldn't trade. Its hard to imagine that three generations of my family lived in the same home on second street. I have lived in eight different homes since we first moved away... I guess that's another thing that doesn't happen often in Chester anymore either. I am still proud of having grown up in Chester, and always will be.

Michael Shea, Sorry to hear the experience your daughter had while taking a drive where we grew up. Unfortunately they are trying to widen the street 2nd street Rt 291 and rename it to Senator Bell Hgwy put in a casino etc. It might come back, but your home where you grew up will never have the sidewalks swept or the porch washed as your parents kept it so many years ago. I think it was a weekend thing. Perhaps she can see some photos, yearbooks etc and help her to understand. I'm sorry it was scary for her I know its scary for me as well.

Back in March I posted a message on here about my brothers and I living on 3rd and Highland Ave and I stated, my mother owned Renda's Flower Shop. Since that posting I have heard from several old friends and I know its been 35 or more years since I seen or talked with them.. I hope that others find this page and tell everyone they know about it. In the emails that I shared with them or even connecting on AOL IM's I found that it brought back smiles, laughter and even a few tears.. God, it was good to be back home even if for a few minutes. Like I said before, "We may not be able to go back but our minds and hearts will never let us leave." So to anyone who remembers please drop me a line. It's great to share.

It appears that just about everyone that makes a connection with this site and voices their opinion about their past experiences & memories is refreshing to hear. The shame of it is that more people don't know that this site exist. Point being that if more people from St. Hedwig's knew that this site was available I think you would have more get togethers and reunions. I myself found this site by accident and at times have really enjoyed the nostalgic trip down memory lane. Its a shame someone can't come up with some innovative measure that would somehow reach out to more people and make them aware of this site!

I understand how you feel as I had seen my share of things that should not have happened (things that would not be tolerated in this day and age), but remember, the point here is to connect with childhood friends that you may wish to reconnect with.

I dont know about you guys, but my memories of St Hedwigs is far from fond. I remember getting totally physically abused by Nuns, getting locked in closets, and mentally abused to the point that it had a lasting effect on my educational career, and changed my view on Religion for the rest of my life. I still remember that witch sister Justine making dolores Trencheck clean up her own vomit with her coat because she got sick in church. Maybe it was this type of torture is the reason there is a lack of people from the early 70s posting here. Thank God my Mom finally pulled me out of that wretched place.

Sad not to see more faces from the Class of 84 on here, this is an excellent forum. I see some people from my sister's class. Someone below posted asking about some of the old sisters, one in particular that I had in sixt grade was Sister Providentia, she passed away some years ago and that was the last time I had seen Sister Valencia, which was at the funeral. I was a pallbearer for Sister Providentia. Hope to hear from others in my old class, there were some very nice people in that class. Drop me a line.

They are having a banquet on November 8,2003 at the Holiday Inn Select, I-95 & Naamans Road, Claymont, Delaware. Tickets are $50.00 and open bar!!! Music by the "DJ".

Didn't we get to wear "street clothes" all of one day at the end of the year??? I had first grade at the old school. Remember the May processions and crowning of the Blessed Mother every single day during May? I can remember being in church on on a Sunday at the 9:00 Mass, sitting with our class and getting in trouble with Denise L. for fooling around. Remember going to Kyj's for a jimmy doughnut and to Cal's for a "special" which I recall was a 6" Italian hoagie. What I wouldn't give for one of those now. Here in VA there are no hoagies and no cheesesteaks - as I believe someone already posted. They call them steak and cheese and my what a sacrilege!

John,
Thanks for the great memories about the Halloween party. The spinning chair in the Witches Den was great, also bobbing for apples. I was to Lenape park last year....it really changed since we use to go. The bumper cars area has changed to picnic tables, haunted house, rollercoaster, merry go round (I remember grabbing for the brass rings), swimming pool, are all gone. But just walking through the park brought back all the great memories of running around with your friends and having a great time... especially the old wooden roller coaster and going out in the canoe's (was a great thing for city boys to do). I do remember Lou very well from the boy scouts, he had that old Corvair that smoked something awful, I also remember doing pushups when we went camping.... well got to run. Did you ever get the email message I sent you ? Mike

Remembering:The last week of classes before summer vacation,finally being allowed to wear regular street clothes,cleaning all your books,getting rid of all the "dog ears",washing the windows,washing the floors and blackboards yet having fun.The rising anticipation of the annual end of the year trek to Lenape Park.That bus ride seemed to take you so far away,windows down,brown bag lunches scrunching and squashed.Turning from Rt.202 and going down the winding roads seeing the signs for the park,this is what you waited for all year.At Lenape:the rope swings greeted you on the right,to the left the carousel.Off in the distance,you could hear the laughing of the fun house clown,allong with the short bursts of hissing air from kids jumping in the fun house entry point.And the sound and smell of the bumping cars,awaiting you to drive into the adversary of your choice.Some used the pool,others rented the canoes,paddling down the lazy Brandywine creek.Always enjoyed slapping the paddles at the other canoes hoping to start a splashing battle.Hope these memories stir up even more memories that you may have.Other memories:the lower hall prayer breakfasts,all those scrambled eggs ang mountains of sausage.The upper auditorium basketball court,the polka parties and school plays.Remember the Halloween party (during school hours)and the infamous "witches den",especially that old wooden chair with the unpredictable wheels that took the blindfolded sitter on thje ride of their life.More memories to come later.Hey Mike Shea,remember Boy Scout summer camp!Lou Mrowicki,Mr.Golombiewski!

Michael, When you get a chance look around June 3 about 75 or so on the guestbook page thats where I saw John Kogut's message. Just keep scrolling until you get around June 3rd's date. Michael, You were picking "Coke" by the Delaware River? I think its a typo you really meant to say Coal right? LOL. I too, remember finding "bodies" by the river but a true story around 1968 some kids did drown in the river right before St Hedwigs Holy Communion, that was really hard to understand back then, I took my kids down there and they thought they found Crystals but they were really thick glass someone dumped there a few years ago. Did you find out anymore info about the PECO place? Sometimes you can click on the Delaware county newspaper page and find out info it use to be the Chester Times. Have a nice one.

Kathy,
Thanks for the update. I remember going down highland Ave, sneaking through the fence of the Power company to get to the river. I also remember picking coke by the railroad tracks by the Electric company for my Aunt who lived out on a farm in MD and had a coal burning stove. I also remember finding what we thought was a part of a body, and calling the police... they had a hard time getting thru the fence and climbing down to the river... they never really told us what it was though.. I also remember all the cars and trucks that use to use 2nd street before they built 95, it was especially busy during the Army Navy football game. I had heard alot of politically connected folks bought the homes and taking advantage of the sales for the highway. I hope the Gambling thing works out. I couldn't find the note from John Kogut.

Michael, No the Ukrainian club was a old school not a gambling site, oh I confused you, sorry okay lets start on the other side of Chester, you do know that there is a prison there right? The old Sun docking place next to Moriani's?? By Scott Paper/Kimberly Clark, well they have widened that area and are going to go straight through and rename it to Senator Bell instead of rt 291 industrial hgwy in honor of him, he past away earlier this year. Anyway, some people were offered a few pennies for their homes but some died while waiting it out and most homes are vacant, I can't think of anyone left on 2nd street. The gambling place is going by the Delaware River the old electric plant I'll get back to you on that but now its going to be Riverfront Gambling and stuff. Alot of people were happy new jobs to the area, etc/ I'll get back to you, I'm alittle tied up right now.

On my trips to visit my mom and brother I still try to swing by 2J's. They don't make hoagies or cheesesteaks very well in Virginia (They have Philly Mike's CheeseSteak shop by my house,not a single picture of the Eagles, Flyers, etc.. the owner is from Korea !! and they call it a steak and cheese, they just don't get it)
I remember when both you and Dave worked for Cal's, is it still run by Bo's wife ? I can't remember her name. Is Bo still alive ? I remember his son was Chester cop.

I still have my trumpet but don't play anymore, have thought about starting again, but don't think the neighbors would appreciate it. Once we moved to South Jersey I gave up the trumpet for sports. I went to Kingsway Regional High School ( Located right on 322 as you had to Jersey Shore).

Michael, I remember Timmy Waterfield I think he married Lisa Rich? Larry Waterfield he was a bit older, I remember Trish McKay,the heating business was Korenekiewicz/Brooks Franks Burner Service, They were a nice family, Helen was the lady, Frank and they had two sons Richie and Frankie, One of them had triplets Frankie, Billy and Michaeline. etc etc etc. They also had the appartments there, I played kickball where the basketball courts were, and three outs were on the roof, we had to get a kid name Artie to climb the telephone pole or the games was over. I loved the waterice dixie cups and trick games stores, I don't remember the name or even if it had one. Thanks for that memory! I think John Ozor died in a tragic swimming accident when we were still kids. I heard Bert Piscotty is doing well my friend used to take accordian lessons there. Trumpet?? Do you still play? Did you go to St James and play in the band there as well, I twirled a batton and Mr P wanted me to be a flag twirler in the band or something. I quit after that! Thanks again for the memories especially the dixie cup water ice, what a thrill it was back them for such a small thing, now the kids look at you funny. I also liked the penny candy swedish fish and rock candy! Did you ever marry? Someone from New Jersey or Chester?

Kathy, Yes, Rose, was in my brothers grade. I don't know where they moved to. I use to play basketball, with Robbie at a house on 3rd street right by the American Legion club. The family owned a home heating oil company, I can't remember their names. There mother Rose use Ozor use to sing in the choir with Bert Piscotty(spl?, who had the music studio across from St. Hedwigs. I can't forget the trumpet lessons I took for 3 years. I don't remember the boys from Todds hardware except that they sold the Sunday paper after mass. I'm trying to remember the name of the store across from Shahadies that sold water ice (little dixie cups of frozen sodas), and had all the trick games (itching powder, sneezing powder etc.. It was between 3rd Hayes and Wilson. It had a red front. Did you know Patty McKay, or the Waterfields that lived in Trainer ?

Kathy, Eddie Drybala is now living in Ohio. I'm hoping to catch up with him on my next trip to Dayton. I'm not sure when they moved I remember visiting during the mid-80's and talking to Eddie at his old house. In figuring out your name I read some earlier messages posted here and at the Holy Ghost site and found your name along with a reference to Diane Chominski, perhaps someone will provide your last name...Kathy Unknown. At some point it really would be great to have a class reunion..... So those members of the Class of 73' please drop me a line !

Mike, I heard of Tribolettis but don't remember going in there, I knew Chrissy Salo she was a few years older and Joey was a cousin of the Millers and Karen too I think? I rememeber Todds and McMasters and Martha's shop and Lucky's ( Lucik's on the corner) Did Eddie have a sister Regina? I think MCMasters fixed our tv and American Eagle bank or did you move to NJ by then? I worked at Kyj's around 76-79 ish? Strawberry shortcake and Jimmy or Glaze donuts and lines out the door when St Hedwigs would let out at 9 a.m. mass. I haven't had a donut since then! They are still there but have opened a few other stores but the baking is still done there. I hope you still have the comic books perhaps they are collectables?

Did you go to school with Christine Cello, she lived across the street from Christine and Ted Kowalchuk. There also was a boy named Eddie, I don't remember his last name who use to visit his grandmothers next door to the Joey adn Karen Miller. I don't remember Diane Chominski. I forgot about the phone booth at Bombergers, I had a preference for Cherry Cokes. I bought my first comic book there to. We use to go to Kyj's bakery after church every Sunday with my grandparents. If you remember Todd's then you have to remember McMaster's I remember buying more comic books, models, and puzzles there. Do you remember Tripolettis (spl?) pharmacy on the corner of 3rd and Highland ?

I don't remember Bill Snyder I guess all of you were a few years older at the time. Do you remember Diane Chominski she worked at the park for a little while. I wrote to her when she left to go to college. Remember Bomberger's phone booth and vanilla cokes? Todds hardware and Kyj's bakery. I worked at Kyj's for a few years and Sacred Heart...

Yes, I do remember the hockey box at Comisiak Park, My brother Patrick got his wrist broke by Bill Snyder with it. It was leaning against the slide and Bill pushed it off an it hit my brother breaking his wrist. We lived with my Grandmother until 1973 when I graduated 8th grade at St. Hedwigs, then moved to NJ. My mom and brother still live in South Jersey. I have lived in Virginia since 1987. Yes I remember the Miller family on Thurlow St. There was a little boy Joey. There were also the Mlllers who lived on Highland Ave. who went to Ressurection. I remember Tommy's story very well, he use to have the wooden barrel with jewish pickles. I also remember Sloppy Joes... great french fries, and the pinball machine. How could you forget Bombergers (spl?) drug store with its Soda Fountain and ice cream.
Did you go to St. Hedwigs, Resurrection or Holy Ghost ?

I think you both attended St Hedwigs but can't remember if you lived with your grandmother or were always down visiting. Do you remember the Miller family on Thurlow Street or Kowalchicks, Sniechowski's, Salo, Sloppy Joe's, Lucky's store, Tommy's? Have a nice weekend.

Just read through the posted messages and didn't notice any from '60, but was excited to see reference to the polish dancing classes at the "Dinky Club" on 2nd St. I was there and was probably one of the older girls couldn't compete in cuteness with Arlene and Stasz Zultak.

Sto Lat,
The Centennial Festival of Faith was outstanding.
Kudos to the Committee Members and everyone else who helped with the preparations.
It was GREAT seeing everyone after all these years.
Had a photo-op with Sister Matilda.

Class of 77, I guess. I had a great time reading all of the e-mails posted to this site. Just reading the names took me back to my childhood at St. Hedwigs. That name was as distant to me as the memories made there. But, here I am in New Orleans so many years later and, thanks to my brother, I found this site. Is there anyone from 77, perhaps Daniel Korenkiewicz, Harry Brooks, or any of my other cousins out there? Let's keep in touch.
