Connor:

I have to tell you I am completely impressed with your piano and organ playing.  I don’t recall ever hearing anyone so young with that much talent — and so poised!  Keep up the good work, kiddo.

How’s Elliott?  Send me pictures!  I miss him!

    It is good to know that ‘Frank” Napiecek’s musical talents were passed down. “Frank” played 5 string instruments and the flute with a traveling brass band in the U.S. before he worked in the steel mill. Does anyone know the name of the band he played with?

    I have pictures of Frank’s & Katarzynna’s tombstone and Diane Lyle gave me a picture of him with wife, Katarznna, if anyone is interested.

    My grandmother, Pearl (Napiecek) played the piano. My dad, Cornelius Olszewski, and I were in PA in May 2007, saw Gertrude, Rita and Sylvester and had the pleasure of meeting Daine Lyle. We were sorry we couldn’t return from California for Gertrude’s funeral.

    Annie, is that your dad standing in the other photographs next to the tombstone?
