Buzz Wagner - 1936 Flood
Clipping of a very young Buzz Wagner - 8th Ward Home - He helped a neighbor boy in the 1936 Flood.
William Sladki Inducted - 1943
Bill Sladki was in all senses of the word - A True Gentleman. I knew Bill for years - we would talk when he would come down the CFU or CWV when I was a bartender. I also would talk with him - usually in front of his house as he was doing yard work. He was a family friend of my grandfather Walter Lenz (1904-1979). Bill as a very young boy said as soon as he could reach the gas pedal - my grandfather and his buddies drafted him into being their driver so that they hit all the bars in Morrellville.
He told me he once got my grandfathers old Model T stuck in Elk Run - seems the men gave Bill a little too much that night....he also told me how all the men that worked at the butcher shops along Elk Run and the city garbage building (on the bottom of D Street) where my grandfather worked - used to put their beer in the crick to keep it nice and cold.

My New House - 1940's Style - Morrellville
My new house - I spent the summer - trying to buy the old family homestead in Morrellville. And let me just say in this day and age - the mortgage company knows everything about me - except my DNA Code. We finally moved in two weeks ago. This is what my house looked like in the 1940's. Going from left to right - no clue on who the two little kids are. My father Robert is the boy with the shirt sticking out. Next to him - my Aunts - Fran (Raco) Cacicia, Mimi (Cacicia) Adams and Lucy (Cacicia) Wiley.
