2015-06-07: Trip to NYC
It has been a while since we walked around New York City, and today was a nice day, so … we decided on downtown. We took the PATH to the World Trade Center; walked around the Financial District (visited my old haunts); had lunch at Fraunces Tavern; visited Battery Park; and walked back to the PATH along the Hudson River. By the end, we were EXHAUSTED!
June 6, 2015 — The Longest Day
Dear William, Daniel, Catherine, (and Michael & Baby Girl Y) (and your parents), (and any future descendants and their parents),
Today, June 6, became known, on June 6, 1944, as “The Longest Day” [attributed to a comment made by Erwin Rommel to his aide on 22 April 1944: “…the first 24 hours of the invasion will be decisive…the fate of Germany depends on the outcome…for the Allies, as well as Germany, it will be the longest day”], the day the Allied Forces invaded Nazi occupied Europe.

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.

My problem, however, is that I have been looking for my house on maps for more than a year now, and I could not find it. Doing further research this morning, I think that I MAY have located the place, and HORROR — they built a highway right through the middle of it!?
