Christmas 1959

The Christmas of 1959 can be seen in these pictures. My parents (Shirley nee Raczkiewicz and Roy Longwell) still lived in the little house behind the Raczkiewicz house on the westside of Grand Rapids. You can see I had a pretty exciting second Christmas. Anthony is seen recovering on the couch in his house with my cousins Yvonne and Eileen Raczkiewicz keeping him company. He worked at a tannery factory until that year when he was 64 years old and needed to have surgery. Apparantly he had a ruptured esophagus and this was a big family emergency. Check out more pictures on Polish Family History on Facebook.
