I'm not sure how my Grandfather got into this country, but I remember hearing confusing and conflicting stories about how he got out of Poland about 1915. I also remember that he had a lot of paperwork problems when he wanted to go back for a visit in the late '50's. He finally got that resolved, and brought back some pictures of the Nazi camps that made a real big impression on this 6-year old.

And that's where the handle White Eagle comes from.

My Polish grandparents came in via Ellis Island. Grandpop worked in the coal mines, in steel mill, and at the copper works. He and Grandmom raised 7 church-attending children through the Depression. 'Nuff Said!

If only I could do half as well.

With freer access, Americans can better partake in the culture of my people...
