July 10, 2011 — We went for the weekend to London, England
Dear William (and Daniel, Catherine, Michael & Baby Girl Y) (and your parents), (and any future descendants and their parents),
One of the things that Babcia Krysia and I love to do is travel. My Parents and siblings (William — siblings means brothers and sisters) also enjoy traveling. In September 1977, my Sister Hanka was working for Laker Airlines; and had an opportunity to get free airplane tickets. Although we had school and job obligations, given the opportunity, Hanka, Oleńka, Elżunia, Babcia Krysia (who pretended to be my “sister,” so that she could qualify for a free ticket) and I packed our bags, and we went for the weekend to London, England. Marek and Rysio stayed with my Parents.

Wojcio Rysio had just completed hiking the Appalachian Trail, and was planning to go back to Washington, DC. Rysio was going to rent a truck to move his stuff to Washington; along the way to the U-Haul rental center, we stopped at a bank in Westfield to get a certified check that he needed. While on line to speak with a teller, I overheard one of the bank customers talking about a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center.

July 4, 2011 — Call me “Dziadziuś”
Dear William (and Daniel, Catherine, Michael & Baby Girl Y) (and your parents), (and any future descendants and their parents),
Last night it was decided that you are to call me “Dziadziuś” — that it good. Dziadziuś is a diminutive form of dziadek (pronounced gah-Dek, with the “dz” sounding like the “g” in “genes”), which translates into English as grandfather. William — note that the “dz” sound in Polish is always like the “g” in “genes”; or “j” (like in “jar”); and “ś” sounds like the “s” in “she.”
