I was so sorry to hear Chester passed away. Although I did not know him well, and it's been almost sixty years since we last met----the Dorshak name has always brought back pleasant memories for me and a number of my WHS friends . I worked summers at the paper mill and played on Johnnies' softball team from '59-'64. We spent many happy hours in the family bar; with his father, Benny, and the many regulars. The general consensus was that Johnnie's daughter, Pat, must have been the best looking young woman in Rothschild.

Rest in peace, Chester,
