I wish to express my deepest sympathy to the Chlumsky family. Many years ago I interviewed Frank and Joan about the part that they played in the history of Westchester, Cook, Illinois. Frank and Joan furnished me with pictures and told me a wonderful story. I have included it in the Franzosenbusch Heritage Society website. They were wonderful and treated me very graciously.
