- HI TOM AND RON....CHET KUZMA PLAYED ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS MY BROTHER "CHUCK". THAT WAS IN 1948 WHEN I WAS IN THE POST OFFICE AND MY BROTHER WAS PLAYING WITH THE SCHROTHS IN THE AMERICAN LEGION TOURNAMENTS. THAT'S A GREAT SHOT OF CHET AT WETZEL FIELD. THOSE BASEBALL UNIFORMS WERE MADE OF FLANNEL AND WERE VERY HOT. WETZEL FIELD'S CLUB HOUSE WAS STILL UP WHEN I LAST VISITED IN 2007. BEST REGARDS.

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.
