1948 (Circa 1948) CHET KUZMA AT WETZEL FIELD
Ralph Lucarella, Chet Kuzma, Noel Goeke, Reynold Funari, and many visitors to this blog are members of "The Greatest Generation." I have enormous respect for those Americans who grew up in the very depths of the Great Depression, many of whom served our country during the horror that was World War II, too many of them making the ultimate sacrifice. I try very hard to take the extra time to acquire good quality photos and articles and the extra time to embellish them via "Photoshop" in order to allow visitors to copy them into their computers for their photo albums, scrap books, family heirlooms etc. The photo of Chet Kuzma that his son Ron sent me was scanned at 600 dots per inch and was of exquisite quality. As I looked at it's full size, you could actually determine that Chet is wearing a wool baseball uniform!Thanks again, Ron. Your Dad, along with many other persons who appear on this website are preserved for posterity, or at least as long as www.glover320.blogspot survives!

Just got back from aa week at my beach house where computers are verboten! Immediately sat down to check you column, and darn you did it again. This past week was spent with my son Mike Jr. from Pennington, and my beautiful little grand daughter Emil, along with Son David and my grandson Aleksander. Don't you think we were trying to tell the kids about our "Cousins" 1st, 2nd and 3rd's. Of Course Chet's name came up, and here you publish this great photo. Chet of course was my hero, and I had bragging rights on him. I also went to Jr. Four with his sister Lillian. I noted before, that Chet's Dad; Pete was raised by my grandmother, and assumed the family name when he migrated from Poland.
A wonderful family who we were all proud to be related too.
Thanks again.
