1916: POLISH-AMERICANS: POLONIA IN TRENTON

I spent the first 2 decades of my life with my best friend to this day, Don Slabicki. We actually grew from boyhood to manhood together. I have very pleasant memories of Don and his wonderful family. Memories of summer Polish cookouts at Don's Sylvan Avenue home will remain forever etched in my memory, as will the countless Polish picnics we neighborhood kids enjoyed at nearby Plaag's Grove. The fascinating article above tells of the heritage of these wonderful Americans who have gone a long way to make their mark in Trenton area history.

1956: ST. HEDWIG'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Thanks to Mr. Joe San Fillippo for this photo of the class of 1956 at Trenton's late great St. Hedwig's Grammar school. The original photo had to be cropped, removing details of the stage and the auditorium floor.
