Addendum

I just realized that in these times of excessive Political Correctness, the final paragraph of my last entry may offend somebody; so I should clarify that the word "Polak" is simply the Polish word for a man of Polish descent. I grew up hearing about "good Polaks," and never realized it was anything but a compliment until I was married and said that to somebody, who automatically assumed I was being facetious as well as anti-Polish. Some people assume too danged much.
